Senior Accounting Manager (Controller Track - 12 months)
Direct Edge job in Anaheim, CA
Full-time Description
About the Company
Direct Edge Media (est.2001) is a growing and profitable technology-driven and progressive full-service print communications powerhouse to many highly recognizable brands. We pride ourselves in offering traditional print design and manufacturing expertise, a proprietary SaaS Print on Demand technology, and warehousing fulfilment solutions while embodying a creative agency mindset. We operate nationally with a total of four production facilities located in California, Colorado, and Texas. We are committed to fostering a collaborative work environment where employees are encouraged to contribute their skills and ideas to drive our continued success.
Job Summary
We are hiring a hands-on Senior Accounting Manager to stabilize and elevate our accounting function through a period of transformation: book cleanup, multi-entity standardization, month-end acceleration, and ERP conversion from QuickBooks to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (with MIS integration). This person is not yet a full Controller but is clearly promotable within 12 months based on performance.
This role blends technical accounting + operational accounting leadership. You will own critical parts of the close, drive balance sheet integrity, build repeatable processes, and lead a small team while partnering directly with the CFO to modernize reporting and controls.
Why This Role Exists
The company has grown across multiple entities and operational complexity. While the core business is strong, the accounting function needs tighter structure, faster close, and improved systems to support the next phase of growth. This role exists to bring order, consistency, and leadership - with full executive backing, external support partners, and a defined promotion path.
What Success Looks Like (12-month controller path)
Within 12 months, you can step into Controller if you demonstrate:
Clean, reliable month-end close with strong balance sheet substantiation
Consistent intercompany discipline across entities
Confident ownership of inventory/job-costing and cut-off (where applicable)
Audit/tax-ready schedules and a clear control environment
Leadership: you elevate the team and create accountability without drama
Systems leadership: you are a “doer” in the Business Central migration and process redesign
Requirements
Core Responsibilities
1) Close ownership + balance sheet integrity
Own key components of monthly close: journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, variance explanations, and close calendar discipline
Maintain audit-grade balance sheet reconciliations (cash, AR, AP, accruals, prepaid, fixed assets, debt, intercompany, taxes)
Build repeatable templates/workpapers and enforce “no unreconciled accounts” standards
2) Multi-entity accounting + intercompany governance
Standardize accounting policies and close procedures across multiple legal entities/locations
Manage intercompany billings, due-to/froms, and eliminations (monthly tie-outs, resolution of differences, documentation)
Support consolidated reporting accuracy and consistency
3) Operational accounting (inventory/WIP/job-costing, as applicable)
Own/partner on inventory and/or job-costing accounting: reserves, landed cost, shrink/obsolescence, cycle count support
Ensure proper cut-off for revenue/COGS and accurate accruals tied to operational reality
Work closely with Ops to translate production and shipping activity into correct accounting
4) Team leadership and throughput
Lead, coach, and hold accountable a small team (AR, AP, Senior Accountant)
Train staff on reconciliations, documentation standards, and close rhythm
Identify capacity gaps
5) Systems transformation: QuickBooks ? Business Central (and reporting)
Partner with CFO and integrator on the BC implementation: mapping, COA alignment, opening balances, cutover reconciliation, and process redesign
Drive data hygiene and master data discipline (customers, vendors, items, dimensions)
Build scalable reporting outputs for management (monthly package, KPIs, dashboards)
You will work alongside an external implementation partner and internal stakeholders - this is not a solo conversion.
6) External partners: tax, audit, payroll, banking
Be a primary point of contact for auditors/tax providers (PBC schedules, roll forwards, support)
Support sales/use tax processes and documentation discipline (even if outsourced)
Partner with payroll/HR to ensure accurate accruals and reconciliations
Required Qualifications
7-12+ years progressive accounting experience (mix of public + industry is fine)
Benefits:
Competitive salary commensurate with experience.
Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) with company match.
Opportunities for professional development and career growth within the organization.
Compensation:
This full-time position offers annual compensation of $135,000.00, plus bonus eligibility and benefits.
Salary Description $135,000.00 + bonus/Year
