Cambium Director of Accounting at Cambium owning the accounting function including month-end close, cleanup, and integration of acquired subsidiaries. Responsible for building a clean, structured, and audit-ready accounting system.
Responsibilities
We're hiring a Director of Accounting to own Cambium's accounting function. You'll take books that moved from QuickBooks and Sage into NetSuite and make them clean, structured and audit ready. You'll run a reliable monthly close across the parent company and acquired subsidiaries, and lead the accounting integration of each company we acquire. This is a hands on leadership role: you do the work, and you lead the offshore accounting team that does it with you.
What You're Walking Into
This is a build role. The first six months are heavy on cleanup, but nothing is missing: all the data is there, it's just unstructured. Your job is to give it structure and get it to sing, while running the close and integrating the acquired companies. You report to the VP Finance, with room to grow the team as we scale.
What Success Looks Like: First 12 Months
The historical books are clean (first six months). Every balance sheet account is reconciled and supported, the QuickBooks and Sage history ties out in NetSuite, and deferred revenue runs on a method that ties to shipments.
The close is reliable. The chart of accounts is redesigned, and the close lands in under 10 business days every month, with consistent coding by business unit and revenue center. Budget versus actuals pulls straight from NetSuite with no rework. Budgeting and FP&A analysis sit elsewhere on the team.
The subsidiaries are in. Acquired entities are on NetSuite OneWorld, and intercompany and consolidation run as part of the monthly close.
The offshore team works to your standard. Routine reconciliations and entries are right the first time, and you review rather than redo.
The books are audit ready. Accounting policies and controls are written down and followed.
What Success Looks Like: Beyond 12 Months
A five day close.
A clean audit. You lead Cambium through its external audit and own the auditor relationship.
