This role will report to the Chief Accounting Officer and is a partner to the IT Solutions CFO and is responsible for the integrity of financial reporting, operational accounting execution, and building a disciplined, scalable close and control environment across the business.

This is not a purely technical accounting role. While a strong foundation in U.S. GAAP is required, the emphasis is on operational excellence, process ownership, and leadership through change.

The ideal candidate is hands-on, decisive, and forward-thinking—someone who can modernize the accounting function through automation and process innovation while operating effectively in a high-expectation environment.

• Champion a mindset of continuous improvement, eliminating low-value activities and increasing scalability
• Partner with IT and finance leadership to evaluate and implement new technologies where appropriate

Process Improvement & Scale

• Lead process transformation to support continued growth (~$700M and scaling)
• Standardize and document accounting processes across entities and geographies
• Build a more predictable, efficient close with clear ownership and accountability

Leadership & Team Development

• Build, develop, and manage a high-performing global accounting team
• Upskill the organization in automation, systems utilization, and process ownership
• Set clear expectations, accountability, and performance standards

Business Partnership

• Partner closely with FP&A, operations, and executive leadership to ensure alignment between accounting and business performance
• Provide clear, actionable financial insights to support decision-making

Audit & Compliance

• Lead external audits and coordinate with auditors and advisors
• Ensure compliance with all regulatory, tax, and statutory requirements across jurisdictions

Change Leadership

• Lead through organizational and system changes with clarity and discipline
• Maintain control and stability during periods of growth, integration, or transformation

Qualifications

• CPA required
• 10–15+ years of progressive accounting experience, with significant time in a Business Unit Controller or similar leadership role.
• Strong operational accounting background (close, controls, process ownership) in a complex, global multi-entity environment
• Demonstrated experience driving automation and process improvement initiatives within accounting/finance
• Experience in distribution, IT services, or value-added reseller models strongly preferred
• Experience working with ERP systems; Acumatica experience a plus
• Solid understanding of U.S. GAAP; ability to partner effectively with technical accounting resources when needed
• Proven track record of improving close cycles, building scalable processes, and leading through change

Leadership Profile

• Forward-looking operator who challenges the status quo and drives modernization
• Comfortable making decisions and holding ground when needed—able to effectively engage with Xerox IT Solutions management
• High accountability mindset; drives outcomes, not activity
• Strong systems thinker who connects accounting, technology, and business processes
• Hands-on leader who can go deep when necessary but doesn’t get stuck there
• Clear communicator who can simplify complex issues and drive alignment
