Chicago, Illinois, United States Lyra Technology Group Full time

Lyra Technology Group is expanding our operating team and needs a remarkable leader to join us as VP of Accounting.

A bit about Lyra...

Lyra Technology Group is a family of industry leading technology service businesses. Our companies are operated independently by exceptional management teams. Companies that join our group retain the employees, name, and culture that have made them successful. As a platform of Evergreen Services Group, we never divest from businesses we partner with and approach every decision with the goal of driving sustainable and healthy growth over the long term.

We made our first acquisition at the beginning of 2018. Now, we hold a controlling stake in over 60 companies and are continuing to grow. Our companies employ over 3,000 team members and sit across the United States, Canada and abroad. Each company is led by its own management team and we are incredibly proud of the work they do.

What sets us apart are three things: our buy and hold strategy, our company's local autonomous management, and our scale.

1. Unlike typical private equity investments with a three-to-five-year liquidation strategy, we buy businesses and invest in them for the long term. We believe in the value of our acquisitions and want to grow.

2. We bought our companies because they have already had success in the marketplace. Instead of asking them to conform to a unified platform, we allow companies to keep their team, culture and branding in place.

3. We enjoy the best of both worlds, small company culture and big business resources. We leverage our collective scale for strategic partnerships, shared resources, and buying power.

And it's working was our best year yet. We exceeded our revenue goals and added companies to our platform, while maintaining our strong culture.

Your work as Vp of Accounting has several components:

1. Own the accounting function for the Lyra holding company, including day-to-day accounting operations, building out the team and functional accounting areas, and being accountable to the financial performance of the business.

2. Manage a growing team of 10+ accounting professionals at the Lyra holding company while providing executive strategic guidance to the accounting leads within our 60+ Operating Companies

3. Serve as the executive sponsor for key technical workstreams including M&A purchase accounting, tax, internal/external audit, and ongoing GAAP reporting requirements.

4. Ensure tax and accounting compliance for our international Operating Companies

5. Support the Lyra companies' ongoing ERP transition to Microsoft Business Central

6. Partner with the Lyra CFO to form the strategic direction and continuous improvement of the Lyra finance and accounting functions

We are looking for smart, motivated team members who are looking to "roll up their sleeves" and hungry to make an impact by stewarding a business over the long-term. We have had tremendous success in empowering leaders early in their career and giving them more responsibility than is typical for their tenure. We offer exceptional people the opportunity to meaningfully accelerate their career trajectory.

If leading an accounting function in the tech space sounds appealing to you, let's have a conversation.
