Senior Director, Accounting:

We are looking for a seasoned and operationally strong accounting leader to join Reformation as Sr. Director of Accounting at a defining moment in our company's growth. As a newly public company with a global supply chain and multi-channel business model, we need someone who has led corporate accounting functions with precision and confidence, someone who knows how to run a clean, well-controlled general ledger, has a solid working knowledge of technical accounting standards, develops high-performing teams, and partners credibly with executive leadership and cross-functional teams on financial reporting and compliance.

• Prepare and review financial statements, balance sheet reconciliations, flux analyses, and management reports for executive leadership


• Reconcile and investigate outstanding balances, proactively addressing and resolving discrepancies and variances

• Partner closely with FP&A, Operations, Supply Chain, Wholesale, Tech, and Finance to ensure financial accuracy, smooth billing processes, and precise customer invoicing and collections


• Collaborate with the broader accounting function on inventory and cost accounting matters, bringing enough familiarity to be a credible and effective cross-functional partner


• Support new business initiatives, market launches, and evolving operational models with sound accounting guidance and scalable financial infrastructure

What You'll Need:

• Demonstrated experience operating within or supporting a public company reporting environment, including working familiarity with SEC reporting requirements and SOX compliance


• General familiarity with inventory and cost accounting in a retail, apparel, or CPG environment; enough context to partner effectively with the broader accounting team without owning that scope directly


• A mix of Big 4 or mid-tier public accounting and private industry experience strongly preferred


• Advanced ERP experience required; NetSuite strongly preferred


• Strong people leader with a track record of building and developing teams and driving cross-functional alignment at a senior level


• Self-motivated, highly collaborative, and comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-paced environment

Who You Are:
