Head of Accounting Execution

• A controller-minded leader who has scaled an accounting team through rapid client growth without losing close discipline?

• Experienced maintaining and closing books across dozens — or hundreds — of entities on a recurring monthly cadence?

• Energized by building the execution engine behind a client-facing delivery team, rather than being the face in front of the client?

• Someone who turns volume and chaos into standardized, repeatable, on-time close processes?

• A leader who can manage and scale a blended onshore and offshore team while holding both to a single quality bar?

• Obsessed with systems, throughput, and accuracy at scale?

We’re seeking a Head of Accounting Execution to own all behind-the-scenes accounting production at Accruity. We’re separating delivery from execution: our Senior Managers are moving into a dedicated client-delivery role, and you’ll own the team that does the work behind them — closing books, preparing deliverables, and handing off review-ready files. Today we close 90 clients across 300+ QBO instances, and we add roughly 6 clients and 15 instances every month. Your mandate is to build the execution machine that absorbs that growth — scaling both our onshore team and our offshore partnership — while holding the line on accuracy and close timelines.

• →Own the Accounting Execution Function – Lead all behind-the-scenes accounting work — monthly close, reconciliations, and deliverable prep — across the full client base, handing off completed, review-ready files to the Client Delivery team.

• →Lead & Scale the Team – Directly lead 3 Accounting Managers, 2 Accounting Staff, and an Overseas Manager running 8+ offshore FTEs — recruiting, structuring, and developing the team as client volume grows.

• →Own Multi-Entity Close at Scale – Maintain and close books for 90+ clients across 300+ QBO instances on a reliable monthly cadence, with a system built to absorb roughly 6 new clients and 15 new instances per month.

• →Build the Production System – Standardize close workflows, work papers, and quality controls across our stack (QBO, Xenett, Mango, 90.io) so output is consistent, on-time, and audit-ready regardless of who does the work.

• →Scale the Offshore Engine – Continue expanding our offshore partnership toward unlimited capacity, keeping the W2 team focused on final review and clean handoff to Client Delivery.

• →Own Throughput & Quality KPIs – Be accountable for close timelines, accuracy, and capacity — escalating risk early and keeping delivery on schedule as the firm scales.

• 8+ years in accounting with proven experience scaling and leading a sizable accounting team (controller, global controller, or senior accounting management background).

• Demonstrated experience maintaining and closing books for multiple entities at volume on a recurring monthly cycle.

• Track record building and standardizing close processes, work papers, and quality controls that scale.

• Experience managing blended onshore and offshore (or outsourced) accounting teams.

• Deep QBO expertise and comfort with a modern accounting tech stack (Xenett, Mango, 90.io); openness to AI-driven tooling a plus.

• CPA preferred; real estate and multi-entity accounting experience a strong plus.

• A systems-first operator who thrives on throughput, accuracy, and operational discipline over client-facing relationship management.

We’re a fast-growing firm looking for a long-term leader who can turn accounting execution into a scalable, systemized machine. If you’ve scaled an accounting team before and now want to build something BIG — let’s talk.

For optional/”nice to have” qualifications or soft skills that aren’t required but would be a great fit for your team or clients.
