[Hiring] Accounting Manager @CloudWave

Role Description

We’re looking for an Accounting Manager who can walk in the door and own it. Not someone who needs hand-holding or constant direction – someone who sees what needs to be done and does it. You’ll be the technical backbone of the accounting team, managing month-end close, driving process improvement, and developing the staff behind you.

You’ll report to the Controller and work closely with leadership in a PE-owned environment where EBITDA, MRR, and recurring revenue reporting are front and center. NetSuite is our system – we’re live on ERP, CRM, PSA, and 360 SuiteBilling for recurring revenue – and you’ll be expected to know it well and make it work harder for us.

This is not a maintenance role. We need someone who will identify problems, fix them, and build something better.

What You’ll Own

• Lead and manage the full month-end close process, including oversight of journal entries, reconciliations, and reporting packages
• Own the monthly reporting of EBITDA, MRR, and recurring revenue – with accuracy and timeliness that leadership can rely on
• Analyze revenue streams, balance sheet trends, and P&L variances to surface insights and flag inconsistencies
• Manage, mentor, and develop a team of 2 Senior Accountants and 1 Order Entry Admin – delegating effectively and holding the bar high
• Drive continuous improvement in systems, processes, and controls – leveraging NetSuite (ERP, CRM, PSA, 360 SuiteBilling) to its full potential
• Troubleshoot and solve NetSuite system issues; identify gaps and lead improvements with or without formal IT support
• Oversee balance sheet integrity and ensure expenses are accurately recorded against budget, forecast, and trends
• Manage audit preparation and materials; interface with tax advisors to ensure timely compliance filings
• Support post-acquisition integration of businesses into core financial operations as needed
• Be a resource to the team

Qualifications

• You’re technically strong in accounting – not just a manager of managers, but someone who knows the details and isn’t afraid to get into them.
• You’ve worked in a PE-backed or metrics-driven environment and understand what it means to close fast, report clean, and answer hard questions about the numbers.
• 2+ years of hands-on NetSuite experience – ERP at minimum; SuiteBilling or OpenAir experience is a strong plus
• Experience working through system issues and implementations – you’ve debugged NetSuite problems and made it work
• 3+ years of accounting management experience – you’ve run a team and made them better
• Strong US GAAP foundation with experience in revenue recognition, recurring revenue models, and MRR/ARR reporting
• Exposure to a private equity-owned company or similarly metrics-driven environment
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required
• A bias toward action – you don’t wait to be told what to fix
