About the Role

We’re hiring a high-impact, hands-on Director of Accounting to lead Ditto’s Accounting function through our next stage of growth. This is a critical leadership role reporting directly to the VP of Finance and sitting at the intersection of controllership, finance operations, and technical accounting.

You’ll step into a fast-moving environment with clear short-term priorities and a long-term opportunity to build a best-in-class function. You’ll own our GAAP roadmap, scale internal systems, manage external vendors, and build a high-performing team that embodies operational excellence and a ‘customer first’ focus.

What You’ll Own

Near-Term (2025)

• Fully in-house all core accounting operations, transitioning away from outsourced bookkeeping
• Build and reshape the accounting team to support Series C readiness
• Own our financial systems stack (Ramp, Bill.com, Zip, Navan, QBO)
• Complete GAAP restatement work and technical accounting changes (ASC 606, equity, software capitalization)
• Select and onboard our first external audit firm (targeting July 2026 audit start)
• Lead monthly close cadence, achieving a 10 working day close timeline

Medium-Term (2026)

• Lead Ditto’s first external audit and own ongoing audit readiness processes
• Select and implement a new ERP system to replace Quickbooks
• Help evaluate and potentially implement a billing system for a high customer volume, self-service GTM motion
• Establish a lightweight, risk-based internal controls framework, laying the foundation for future SOX-readiness
• Drive automation, AI adoption, and scalable policy frameworks across all accounting operations

Ongoing

• Serve as a trusted advisor for the VP of Finance, advising on material transactions, strategic initiatives and commercial deals
• Build strong relationships, and partner cross-functionally with Legal, FP&A, GTM, Engineering & Product teams
• Drive change effectively by employing strong, clear and thorough communication; change management is well thought through, and future needs are considered and accounted for in solutions proposed
• Foster a culture of business partnership and customer service within the Accounting team

What We’re Looking For

We're seeking an experienced and adaptable accounting leader who thrives in high-growth environments and knows how to balance technical depth with business pragmatism.

• CPA strongly preferred — with deep understanding of U.S. GAAP and technical accounting standards
• 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 2+ years in a leadership role at a high-growth tech or SaaS company

• Proven experience leading or materially contributing to:
