Pax8 is hiring a Director of Technical Accounting and Special Projects (Remote, USA) to strengthen enterprise-wide accounting policy and lead high-impact Finance initiatives that keep us audit-ready as our marketplace and AI-powered capabilities scale.


🚀 Why this role is a game-changer

This is a high-visibility leadership opportunity at the intersection of technical accounting, strategic transformation, and modern financial systems. You’ll own the “source of truth” for accounting guidance across the business, while also leading Finance programs that shape how Pax8 grows — including our conversion of revenue accounting to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP) and the implementation of a Revenue Management System (RMS). You’ll join a company embracing smarter technology and AI-enabled ways of working — and you’ll help ensure our accounting foundation evolves just as quickly and confidently.


🌍 Culture, mission & learning more

Pax8 is built for people who love pace, progress, and solving meaningful problems with others. You’ll be trusted to lead, encouraged to challenge respectfully, and supported to keep learning as we scale.

🧩 What you’ll be responsible for

You’ll be the technical accounting anchor for the organization — setting direction, creating clarity, and helping teams move faster with confidence.
  • 🧾 Own accounting policy & technical guidance: Monitor evolving standards and translate them into practical, consistent accounting positions across Pax8.
  • 🧠 Evaluate complex transactions early: Partner cross-functionally to assess new revenue streams, product changes, contracts, and business events — identifying implications upfront and documenting defensible conclusions.
  • 🛠 Lead strategic Finance programs: Drive Finance initiatives from scope to execution (process, controls, stakeholder alignment, delivery). Current priorities include U.S. GAAP revenue conversion and RMS implementation.
  • 🤝 Be a key audit partner: Serve as a primary liaison for external auditors, enabling timely fieldwork and clear issue resolution through strong documentation and coordination.
  • 🗂 Create audit-ready memos & position papers: Build and maintain technical memos, accounting policies, and support documentation that stand up to scrutiny.
  • 🛡 Strengthen controls through change: Support internal control design, documentation, and testing — especially across areas impacted by transformation.
  • ✈️ Travel (infrequent): Occasional travel may be required to support key milestones and stakeholder alignment.


🎯 The impact you’ll make

You’ll raise the bar for consistency, speed, and confidence in how Pax8 accounts for growth. Your work will directly improve audit readiness, reduce risk, enable smarter decision-making, and help teams launch new offerings knowing the accounting is sound, documented, and scalable.


⭐ What we’re looking for

You’ll thrive here if you’re equal parts technical expert, pragmatic advisor, and calm leader in complex environments.
  • CPA required, with a strong foundation in accounting principles and policy ownership
  • Extensive expertise in U.S. GAAP, including revenue-related topics and complex, judgement-based accounting conclusions
  • Demonstrated experience leading or supporting revenue conversions, restatements, or high-stakes technical accounting projects
  • Proven ability to lead major cross-functional initiatives (systems, process redesign, controls, or Finance transformation programs)
  • Confidence partnering with auditors and senior stakeholders — with a track record of clear, structured responses and documentation
  • Strength in drafting technical memos, policy guidance, and position papers that are thorough, practical, and defensible
  • Experience with ERP and/or financial systems implementations; revenue-focused systems experience is highly valued
  • Comfortable operating in high-growth, technology-led environments where priorities evolve and ambiguity is part of the job
