Role: Director of Accounting & Controls – Client Services

This leader owns the delivery, governance, and scaling of fractional Controller-level accounting services for Vet Insight Group clients. The Director ensures client financials are accurate, audit-ready, and decision-useful while establishing the accounting standards, internal controls, systems, and team structure required to support growth.

This role is highly client-facing, partners closely with sales and FP&A leadership, and is a natural progression point toward future revenue and commercial leadership. As the organization scales, this role is expected to take on increasing commercial responsibility, including service packaging, pricing strategy, and revenue expansion support.

Service Delivery Leadership:

• Serve as fractional Controller for select, higher-complexity clients
• Establish accounting standards, close expectations, and control frameworks across all client engagements
• Ensure client accounting outputs are decision-ready, not just technically accurate
• Act as senior accounting advisor to client owners and practice managers
• Translate accounting outputs into operational and financial insights
• Support client onboarding and complexity assessments
• Partner with sales leadership on scoping, pricing, and service design
• Identify expansion opportunities with existing accounts (scope growth, add-ons)

Team Leadership:

Own the design, performance, and scalability of the accounting delivery organization, beginning with bookkeepers and evolving to senior accountants and team leads.

• Bookkeepers (initially)
• Senior Accountants / Team Leads (later)
• Design team structure, capacity models, and review layers
• Define quality standards and escalation paths
• Coach senior team members to own client portfolios

Compensation Structure:

• Base Salary: $140,000 - $155,000
• Target Bonus: 15% (with upside as the client portfolio and team scale)
• Benefits: Generous PTO, 4% 401(k) match, fully remote
• Continuing Education: $1,500/year
• Work-from-Home Reimbursement: $100/month

Qualifications:

• 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including Controller, Director of Accounting, or equivalent senior-level responsibility in multi-entity environments.
• Demonstrated experience delivering Controller-level accounting leadership, either in a corporate, advisory, or fractional services context
• Strong technical accounting foundation, including ownership of month-end close, account reconciliations, accruals, revenue recognition, and multi-entity consolidations
• Proven ability to design, document, and govern accounting policies, internal controls, and close standards in growing organizations
• Experience operating in complex or fast-growing environments, such as PE-backed companies, acquisitive organizations, or professional services firms
• Comfort serving as a senior, client-facing accounting advisor, with the ability to translate financial results into actionable operational and strategic insights
• Experience building, leading, and scaling remote accounting teams, including bookkeepers and senior accountants
• Strong systems orientation, with hands-on experience implementing or optimizing accounting and reporting tools (e.g., QBO/QBOA, ERP systems, workflow and automation tools)
• CPA strongly preferred; MBA or equivalent advanced business training a plus
• Exceptional judgment, communication skills, and ability to operate with autonomy in a fully remote environment
