Accounting Manager
Advantive
We are a high-growth, global, private-equity-backed software company with an active acquisition strategy. As we scale, we are building a best-in-class accounting leadership team grounded in execution, ownership, and operational discipline.
This role is an ideal opportunity for professionals with a strong, traditional accounting background who are looking to expand their exposure to ERP systems, system integrations, and project-based work—while continuing to deepen their core accounting expertise. In a high-growth, PE-backed software environment with an active acquisition strategy, you’ll operate at the center of accounting operations and execution. You’ll partner on month-end close end-to-end, build scalable and repeatable processes, and partner closely with business systems and cross-functional teams. You’ll also gain hands-on experience supporting ERP integrations and acquisition onboarding, making this a great fit for accountants who enjoy operational ownership, structured execution, and growing their scope alongside a scaling organization
