Interim VP of Accounting

This is a hands-on interim contract, placed through Ascent CFO Solutions, supporting a VC-backed multi-brand consumer e-commerce business with over $200M in annual revenue. The business operates several brands, each with its own NetSuite instance and P&L, consolidated under a shared tax and audit process. The engagement runs until a permanent VP of Accounting or Controller is appointed, likely three to six months.

The interim leader will report to the out-of-state CFO and serve as the most senior finance presence in the Denver office. Day-to-day collaboration includes the CEO, COO, and Chief of Staff. The priority is stabilising reporting accuracy, supporting a 15 to 20 person onshore and offshore accounting team, and identifying process gaps across the multi-entity structure. The role requires an immediate start and the ability to work on-site in Denver.

• Lead and assess the onshore and offshore accounting team, including several accounting managers and an Assistant Controller, and recommend improvements to team structure and support.
• Review financial reports and accounting team output before they are presented to senior leadership.
• Evaluate accounting processes across multiple NetSuite instances and entity P&Ls, identifying gaps and near-term improvements.
• Contribute directly to month-end close, audit readiness, and tax preparation activities as needed.
• Attend regular check-ins with the CFO, COO, Chief of Staff, and CEO to provide candid financial updates.

• Prior experience in a Controller, VP of Accounting, or CFO role at a business with $200M to $500M in annual revenue.
• Strong GAAP knowledge with the ability to articulate accounting judgements clearly to leadership.
• Availability to begin immediately and work on-site in Denver for the duration of the engagement.
• Experience managing multi-entity accounting structures, ideally within NetSuite.
• Bonus: background in e-commerce or direct-to-consumer, VC-backed environments, post-acquisition integration, or managing offshore accounting teams.
