VP, Accounting

The VP Accounting owns Duetto's global accounting function and serves as a key partner to the CFO in building the financial infrastructure that supports the company's growth and exit readiness. This is a role for someone who approaches accounting not as a compliance obligation but as a high-leverage operating system — one that should be continuously improved, increasingly automated, and built to scale. The right candidate brings deep technical accounting expertise alongside a genuine transformation mindset: equally comfortable redesigning a financial close process as they are resolving a complex technical accounting question. Beyond the day-to-day operational leadership of accounting, this role carries an explicit mandate to evaluate everything the team does through the lens of eliminate / simplify / automate, and to bring the discipline and creativity required to execute against that over time. The tools and AI-driven workflows available to finance teams are changing rapidly; we expect this role to stay ahead of that curve and put those capabilities to work.

Responsibilities

Own the global financial close process and drive continuous improvement in its speed, quality, and scalability across all entities; Lead the accounting function's transformation agenda; Preside over all core accounting operations (including Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, General Ledger, Revenue Recognition, procure-to-pay, and order-to-cash processes) and maintain rigorous financial reporting across a multi-entity, multi-currency global structure, in full compliance with US GAAP and applicable local accounting standards; Own all technical accounting — revenue recognition (ASC 606), purchase accounting, equity, M&A integration, debt, and other complex areas; Manage the external auditor relationship and lead the company's engagement with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors; Oversee global compliance: tax strategy and multi-country compliance in partnership with external advisors (including transfer pricing), and accurate and timely payroll-related accounting obligations across all jurisdictions; Ensure accurate and timely compliance with global payroll-related accounting and reporting obligations across all jurisdictions; Build and maintain a strong internal controls environment; Develop a team that reflects the ambitions of the function; Collaborate with Legal, IT, Sales Ops, and FP&A to ensure accounting policy and process keep pace with an evolving commercial model.

Requirements

12+ years of progressive accounting experience, with meaningful time in a controller or senior accounting leadership role at a SaaS or high-growth technology company; CPA required; Big 4 experience is a strong preference; Deep technical accounting expertise: US GAAP, multi-entity consolidation, multi-currency, ASC 606 revenue recognition, and experience navigating complex technical accounting areas. Exposure to local statutory requirements across multiple jurisdictions is expected; Demonstrated experience in a PE-backed environment — comfortable with investor-grade information standards, audit committee engagement, and the operational intensity that comes with active PE ownership; Proven track record of improving financial close processes, upgrading accounting infrastructure, and building team capability in a high-growth or high-change environment; Strong NetSuite proficiency in a multi-entity environment, or equivalent enterprise ERP; experience leading a material system migration or implementation is a meaningful plus; Genuine curiosity about technology and automation — you should have active opinions about how AI is changing accounting workflows, and evidence of putting those ideas to work.
