Job description
Wonder is the mealtime platform built to feed every craving in one order. With Wonder, you can mix and match hundreds of dishes from 20+ exclusive restaurants in a single order, so everyone gets exactly what theyâre craving. Enjoy everything from tacos to Thai with $0 delivery fees, plus dine-in or pick up at a Wonder location near you. Each dish is made to order on-site by our culinary team and served hot.
Behind the scenes, Wonder owns and operates every step of the dining experience, from recipe development to the technology that powers our experience, allowing us to deliver quality, variety, and consistency at scale.
Join us as we work to make great food more accessible.
About The Opportunity
As the Vice President of Accounting Transformation & Controls, your mission is to institutionalize excellence within the Wonder Accounting function by owning and operationalizing our public-readiness roadmap. Leveraging preliminary assessments and frameworks established by our outside advisory partners, you will lead the âPre-SOXâ era-professionalizing our internal processes, automating the month-end close, and ensuring our financial systems (ERP, Billing, Payroll, etc.) are robust and scalable. Serving as a key strategic partner to the CAO, you will act as the primary engine for execution and special projects, ensuring that as Wonder scales, our accounting infrastructure is never a bottleneck.
The Impact You Will Make
- Accounting Process Optimization & Alignment: Take full ownership of existing public company readiness assessments for core accounting cycles (Revenue, Procure-to-Pay, Fixed Assets, Inventory). Prioritize and translate these strategic findings into practical, âPublic-Readyâ workflows, focusing heavily on execution, accuracy, speed, scalability, and clear audit trails.
- The 50/50 IT-Accounting Bridge:
- IT (Fintech): Partner with the Fintech team to drive system recommendations and controls, ensuring the data flowing from the Wonder App/Kitchen systems into the General Ledger is complete and accurate (automated reconciliations, data integrity checks).
- Business (Accounting Operations): Partner laterally with Group Controllers to streamline and automate manual accounting workflows based on identified gaps. Implement âcontinuous closeâ mentalities and eliminate reliance on complex, error-prone spreadsheets.
- SOX Readiness (Operationalizing the Framework): Formalize and embed the internal control framework inside the accounting house using our advisorsâ blueprints. You will establish the Key Controls, refine âStandard Operating Proceduresâ (SOPs), and ensure the function is operating with SOX-level discipline well ahead of schedule.
- Transformation PMO: Lead the project management office for the implementation or optimization of accounting-specific software (e.g., NetSuite enhancements, BlackLine, FloQast, or automated T&E systems) required to meet our transformation milestones and ensure the Company is ready to operate as a public company. Act as the strategic liaison between the Fintech team and the accounting organization to ensure business needs are fully supported.
- Vendor & Advisor Management: Oversee and manage strategic relationships with outsourced testing and advisory firms, ensuring their insights are seamlessly integrated into the teamâs continuous improvement cycle and yield a high ROI.
Requirements
- Experience: 12+ years of progressive leadership experience. A âRecovering Auditorâ who transitioned into leading Accounting Operations, Financial Systems, or a transformation PMO function at a high-growth company.
- The âExecutionâ Specialist: A proven track record of taking complex consultant gap analyses/blueprints and successfully converting them into streamlined, automated, and âauditableâ accounting realities.
- System Savvy: Deep technical comfort; the ability to speak âERPâ and data architecture just as fluently as âGAAP.â
- Diplomat & Implementation Leader: Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively as a peer to senior leaders (Group Controllers, VPs of Finance) on risk areas, combined with the heavyweight PM skills required to help accounting teams adopt and execute new, standardized ways of working.
