About the Role

Roo is seeking a Director of Accounting to join our Finance & Accounting team and help scale our financial operations in a thoughtful, efficient, and compliant way. This role will report to the VP of Finance and will directly manage and mentor members of the accounting team, including our Manager of Accounting. It’s an ideal fit for someone with strong accounting fundamentals, audit experience, and a desire to help build systems that keep pace with operational growth.
