Job Description

Senior Director of Accounting - Central Orange County - $200-250k plus bonus - on-site - five days a week
 
Senior Director, Accounting and Finance Shared Services | Confidential Search - On-Site - Central Orange County

 

We have been retained to partner with a large, established consumer packaged goods company on the search for a Senior Director, Accounting and Finance Shared Services.

 

This is a compelling opportunity for a transformative finance leader who knows how to turn working capital into a strategic lever for the business. Our client is looking for someone who can think at the enterprise level while also driving execution—improving cash flow and liquidity, modernizing processes, leveraging automation, and building a high-performing shared services organization. This leader will have broad visibility across the organization and the opportunity to make a measurable impact on financial and operational performance.

 

The Senior Director will lead the strategy, execution, and continuous optimization of working capital, treasury operations, liquidity management, and shared services, with responsibility spanning Treasury, Cash Management, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Payroll, and related operations. The position will lead a team of approximately 8–12 professionals and serve as a strategic partner across Finance, Operations, HR, Procurement, IT, and executive leadership.

 

Key areas of focus will include:

 
  • Leading enterprise treasury and liquidity operations, including cash positioning, banking relationships, cash forecasting, capital deployment, financial risk management, and liquidity planning.
  • Driving a comprehensive working capital strategy, with an emphasis on improving the cash conversion cycle, reducing DSO, optimizing DPO, and establishing meaningful KPIs and dashboards to measure performance.
  • Leading AR and order-to-cash excellence, including billing, collections, dispute resolution, credit management, and initiatives designed to reduce aging and strengthen cash flow.
  • Overseeing and optimizing AP, Payroll, and Shared Services, creating greater consistency, scalability, controls, and service quality across the organization.
  • Driving automation, technology enablement, and process transformation to reduce manual effort, improve productivity, shorten cycle times, and mitigate operational risk.
  • Strengthening governance, internal controls, vendor management, master data integrity, compliance, and audit readiness.
  • Building, mentoring, and developing a high-performing team while creating a culture of accountability, operational excellence, and continuous improvement.

 

Who we’re looking for:

 

We’re seeking an accomplished finance leader with 12–15+ years of progressive experience across treasury, working capital optimization, finance operations, and/or shared services.

 

The ideal candidate has led enterprise-level teams across Treasury, AR, AP, and Payroll and can demonstrate tangible results improving cash flow, CCC, DSO, DPO, and overall working capital performance.

 

Deep expertise in cash forecasting and liquidity management is important, as is experience leading significant transformation, automation, and financial systems initiatives.

 

This person should bring strong analytical capabilities and financial acumen, but equally important will be the executive presence, communication skills, and ability to influence stakeholders and lead change across a complex organization.

 

A bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related discipline is required, with an MBA and/or CPA, CMA, or CTP strongly preferred.

 

If you are a talented, transformative financial leader who is energized by improving cash flow, challenging the status quo, building high-performing teams, and creating lasting enterprise-wide impact, this opportunity is for you.
