VP, Accounting

1. About the Company Duetto is the industry-leading hospitality revenue management platform, trusted by thousands of hotels, resorts, and casinos worldwide to optimize revenue and drive profitable growth. Our SaaS platform — the Revenue & Profit Operating System — sits at the center of how modern hotel operators make their most important commercial decisions. We're a PE-backed company with a clear strategic agenda and an active value-creation mandate. The finance function we're building reflects that: data-driven, commercially fluent, and deeply integrated with how the business makes decisions. For the right candidate, this is a genuine build opportunity with real ownership of how the accounting function evolves, a team of engaged and operationally-minded partners, and a business that is well-positioned for its next chapter. Decisions move at the pace of a company our size, access to leadership is direct, and the work you do here will be visible in the outcome. 2. Role Summary / Purpose The VP Accountingowns Duetto's global accounting function and serves as a key partner to the CFO in building the financial infrastructure that supports the company's growth and exit readiness. This is a role for someone who approaches accounting not as a compliance obligation but as a high-leverage operating system — one that should be continuously improved, increasingly automated, and built to scale. The right candidate brings deep technical accounting expertise alongside a genuine transformation mindset: equally comfortable redesigning a financial close process as they are resolving a complex technical accounting question. Beyond the day-to-day operational leadership of accounting, this role carries an explicit mandate to evaluate everything the team does through the lens of eliminate / simplify / automate, and to bring the discipline and creativity required to execute against that over time. The tools and AI-driven workflows available to finance teams are changing rapidly; we expect this role to stay ahead of that curve and put those capabilities to work. 3. Key Responsibilities Own the global financial close process and drive continuous improvement in its speed, quality, and scalability across all entities. Set the standard, measure against it, and keep raising the bar. Lead the accounting function's transformation agenda. Map what the team does today, identify where effort is not creating value, and build a disciplined roadmap toward a more efficient, more automated operation. This includes systems strategy – the tools available to finance teams are changing; this role is expected to stay current and put them to work. Preside over all core accounting operations (including Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, General Ledger, Revenue Recognition, procure-to-pay, and order-to-cash processes) and maintain rigorous financial reporting across a multi-entity, multi-currency global structure, in full compliance with US GAAP and applicable local accounting standards across our international subsidiaries, including consolidations, eliminations, and statutory filings. Own all technical accounting — revenue recognition (ASC 606), purchase accounting, equity, M&A integration, debt, and other complex areas — and translate that complexity into clear, well-documented positions. Stay current with the evolution of US GAAP and relevant local standards, assess the organizational impact, and ensure business leaders understand the implications of new pronouncements in a timely manner. Manage the external auditor relationship and lead the company's engagement with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Deliver clean, timely audited financial statements as a consistent baseline, and maintain the quality of governance and transparency that PE ownership and a future liquidity event require. Oversee global compliance: tax strategy and multi-country compliance in partnership with external advisors (including transfer pricing), and accurate and timely payroll-related accounting obligations across all jurisdictions in which the company operates. Ensure accurate and timely compliance with global payroll-related accounting and reporting obligations across all jurisdictions in which the company operates. Build and maintain a strong internal controls environment: policies and procedures that scale with the business, satisfy PE and audit committee expectations, and evolve as the regulatory and business environment changes. Develop a team that reflects the ambitions of the function — people who are genuinely excited about where accounting is going, not just where it's been. Invest in their growth, create real room for strong performers to develop with the company, and maintain the kind of environment where the best people want to build their careers. Collaborate with Legal, IT, Sales Ops, and FP&A to ensure accounting policy and process keep pace with an evolving commercial model, and advise cross-functional partners on the accounting implications of strategic and product decisions. 4. Qualifications Required: 12+ years of progressive accounting experience, with meaningful time in a controller or senior accounting leadership role at a SaaS or high-growth technology company. CPA required; Big 4 experience is a strong preference. Deep technical accounting expertise: US GAAP, multi-entity consolidation, multi-currency, ASC 606 revenue recognition, and experience navigating complex technical accounting areas. Exposure to local statutory requirements across multiple jurisdictions is expected. Demonstrated experience in a PE-backed environment — comfortable with investor-grade information standards, audit committee engagement, and the operational intensity that comes with active PE ownership. Proven track record of improving financial close processes, upgrading accounting infrastructure, and building team capability in a high-growth or high-change environment. Strong NetSuite proficiency in a multi-entity environment, or equivalent enterprise ERP; experience leading a material system migration or implementation is a meaningful plus. Genuine curiosity about technology and automation — you should have active opinions about how AI is changing accounting workflows, and evidence of putting those ideas to work. Preferred: M&A experience, from diligence support through purchase accounting and post-close integration. Multi-country tax compliance and transfer pricing experience in a global SaaS operating model. Background in vertical SaaS or hospitality technology.
