About the Client
A fast-growing, family-office-backed education platform built through an acquisition roll-up strategy — acquiring well-established, independently owned schools and integrating them onto one operating platform — is looking for an Accounting Manager to take full ownership of its accounting function as the business scales.
The company currently operates 11 locations and is targeting roughly 50 within three years, with revenue scaling from approximately $20M today toward $60M+ over the next two years. The finance function is being built for long-term growth and an eventual sale,



giving this role real strategic weight beyond day-to-day bookkeeping.
About the Role
Today, the accounting function relies on two fractional, outsourced resources who only get the books 60–80% of the way closed each cycle, with a lot of manual review falling on the Director of Finance and Accounting. This role exists to fix that: one dedicated, full-time owner who can take the close from 80% to 100%, bring real structure to vendor and payables management, and build the systems this organization needs as it multiplies in size.
You'll work closely with the Director of Finance and Accounting, who will guide you through the close in your first 30 days — from there, you'll run it independently. Success means owning a 5–7 day close cycle, becoming the primary point of contact for vendor and payment questions, and delivering a systems and process-improvement roadmap within your first 90 days.
