The Banyan Software

Foundation, endowed with $100 million in Banyan stock, leverages technology to build a greener and more equitable world. This is the operational core of our global Finance function. You will own the close, the consolidation, the audit, and the reporting rhythm that turn a growing portfolio of acquired software companies into a coherent whole. Banyan acquires vertical software businesses and holds them permanently.

That permanence shapes how we build Finance: it rewards investment in process, systems, and people that compound over years. You will lead a team across Controllership, Global Payroll, and ERP & Reporting, partner closely with FP&A;, Tax, and Treasury at HQ, and work directly with Finance Directors at the operating companies. A permanent-hold model changes how Finance is built.

Here, you’re building for the long arc: maturing close, consolidation, and reporting practices that compound with every acquisition we add. Many legal entities globally. A growing collection of vertical software businesses, each with its own data and accounting nuances, rolling up into one coherent group.

Acquisitions flow through the close on a regular cadence. You’ll operate as a thought partner, not a back‑office function. The CFO is looking for someone who can translate the numbers into narrative, surface implications, and bring discipline to how Finance shows up across the group.

The year‑end audit. Manage the external audit relationship and deliver a cleanly run year‑end. Coordinate audit asks across HQ and operating companies. Group‑level technical accounting. Bring deep US GAAP fluency, particularly around software industry topics.





Translate technical positions into practical, operational outcomes. Partner with OpCo Finance Directors to align chart of accounts, reporting packages, close timelines, and day‑to‑day accounting practice as we continue to migrate operating companies onto a common ERP environment. Controllership, Payroll, ERP & Reporting, and AR / AP leadership.

Lead a team of approximately ten, including a Director of Controllership, a Director of Global Payroll, and a Head of ERP & Reporting. HQ Finance partnership. with Tax on compliance cadence; and with Treasury on cash and FX support. Acquisition integration. 12+ years of progressive controllership experience, including approximately 5+ years in a senior Controllership role.

Public‑company‑grade reporting rigor. You’ve operated in an environment where audit, internal controls, and disclosure discipline are taken seriously. Whether at a public company, a PE‑backed platform with audited GAAP financials, or a leveraged credit reporting to an institutional lender group.

Public‑company background is welcome. You’ve owned a consolidation across 100+ legal entities, many currencies, and multiple jurisdictions. You know what breaks first when an acquisition lands in the close, and you know how to fix it permanently.

A Big 4 (or comparable firm) foundation. Software industry experience. Either in‑industry or as a software‑focused practice at a public‑accounting firm. We need someone who has worked in it directly, not someone planning to learn it on the job.

Strong on technical accounting, with commercial sense.



Deep US GAAP applied to software industry topics. You navigate technical positions and audit requirements fluently, and you balance the technical view with what is practical and operational.

You bring an early‑adopter mindset, even if you haven’t yet led a transformation program. Private equity‑backed, holdco, or serial‑acquirer environment. Track record leading or supporting Finance systems improvements: NetSuite migrations or expansions, close‑management tool implementations, AI‑enabled tooling.
