Reports to Chief Financial Officer

Dean Dorton, a top and full-service business advisory firm, is assisting our client with recruitment efforts for a Vice President of Corporate Accounting.

In this role, the hands-on, technically proficient Vice President of Corporate Accounting will serve as the architect of its future-state financial infrastructure. This role will lead the transition from legacy Dynamics SL to a modern Tier-2 Cloud ERP while establishing the processes, controls, and team capabilities required for sustainable growth across its Insurance and Healthcare business lines.

Client seeks a builder - someone who combines the technical rigor of a Controller with the strategic vision of a transformation leader. This candidate will own the ERP conversion project end-to-end, design a multi-dimensional Chart of Accounts that supports 80+ entities, and build the accounting infrastructure that positions Citizens for its next phase of expansion. As the system stabilizes, this role will assume direct leadership of transactional accounting functions (AP, Cash Management, GL), making this a succession-track position within the finance organization.

• ERP Implementation Leadership (Primary Focus – Year
  1)
• Chart of Accounts Architecture
• Financial Reporting & Technical Accounting
• Internal Controls & Process Engineering
• Audit Management
• Team Development (Post-Implementation)

Who We Are Looking For:

• 8–12 years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 5 years in a Controller, Assistant Controller, or Senior Accounting Manager capacity
• Proven track record leading ERP implementations or major system upgrades, specifically migrations from legacy on-premise systems to cloud platforms (Net Suite, Sage Intacct, D365 Business Central preferred)
• Multi-entity accounting experience with consolidation and intercompany elimination complexity
• Public accounting background (Big 4 or Regional firm) combined with corporate operational experience strongly preferred
• Experience in Healthcare or Insurance industries is a significant plus
• Advanced Excel capabilities (complex modeling, macros, Power Query)
• Strong technical writing skills for policy and procedure documentation
• Familiarity with chart of accounts design principles and dimensional reporting structures
• Working knowledge of SQL or data query tools a plus
