About the Role:

Wonder is seeking a highly experienced and strategic Sr. Director of Technical Accounting and External Reporting to build and lead our reporting function as we ultimately transition to a public company. This is a critical leadership role responsible for all complex technical accounting matters, statutory reporting, reporting related to external financing, and ensuring the overall integrity of our financial statements. You will serve as the company's primary expert on U.S. GAAP and will be responsible for executing a successful IPO from a financial reporting perspective. This role will report to the Chief Accounting Officer and work closely with the CFO, legal counsel, Group Controllers, and other executive leaders.

Key Responsibilities:

• Technical Accounting Leadership & Policy: Serve as the subject matter expert on all technical accounting matters, including revenue recognition (ASC 606), stock-based compensation (ASC 718), leases (ASC 842), and business combinations (ASC 805). Manage the development, implementation, and maintenance of all corporate accounting policies in collaboration with Group Controllers. Research, resolve, and document complex accounting transactions in formal memos.

• SEC Reporting & IPO Execution: Lead the end-to-end preparation of the financial sections of S-1 registration statements and all subsequent SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K). Contribute to the annual proxy statement process. Manage the external reporting calendar, coordinating with internal teams (Group Controllers, Legal, FP&A, Investor Relations) and external partners (auditors, legal counsel) to ensure deadlines are met.

• SOX Compliance & Internal Controls: Design and implement a robust internal control framework over the financial reporting process. Ensure that the company will be prepared to be SOX compliant from day one as a public company. Partner with internal audit to test and validate controls.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate extensively with finance, legal, operations, and technology teams to provide expert accounting guidance on new business initiatives, contracts, and strategic transactions. Prepare and present materials on complex accounting topics for the Audit Committee and senior management.

The Experience You Have:

• Minimum of 12+ years of progressive accounting experience, including a combination of "Big 4" public accounting and leadership positions within a public company.

• Direct, hands-on experience leading the preparation of S-1 financials sections for a successful IPO is strongly preferred.

• Proven expertise in U.S. GAAP, SEC regulations, and SOX compliance.

• Demonstrated experience building and leading a technical accounting and reporting function.

• Hands-on experience implementing and operating strong controls in a SOX-compliant environment.

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.

• CPA certification is required.

Skill Set Required for this Role:

• Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.

• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills, with the ability to effectively communicate complex accounting concepts to non-financial professionals.

• Proven ability to build and lead high-performing teams and manage external relationships with auditors and consultants.

• Proactive, self-motivated, and able to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced pre-IPO environment.

• Experience with major ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP) and reporting tools (e.g., Workiva, ActiveDisclosure).

Base Salary: $247,000-$271,500 per year.
