Why Buxton?

At Buxton, we don’t just close the books — we build the financial foundation that powers decision-making across three high-growth brands, 250 teammates, and 14 countries.

  From multi-entity invoicing to sales tax automation with Avalara, you’ll take charge of global billing operations, working across currencies, tools, and time zones to ensure accuracy and compliance.
• Close and Audit Readiness
  Lead the month-end revenue close process, ensure audit readiness with strong controls and documentation, and serve as a key contact for both external auditors and internal stakeholders.
• Systems and Process Ownership
  Help us scale smarter. You’ll drive automation and process optimization across platforms like NetSuite, Salesforce, Stripe, and CPQ tools, while partnering with FP&A to improve forecasting and reporting.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
  Work hand-in-hand with Sales, Legal, and Strategic Finance during contract negotiations. Provide real-time insights to leadership and contribute directly to our ability to forecast, grow, and execute with precision.
