This is a critical hire for someone who thrives in dynamic environments, holds themselves and their team to a high standard, and brings the technical depth to build a best-in-class accounting organization.

You'll own the full accounting function — close, compliance, reporting, and controls — and serve as a trusted partner to Finance, Revenue, and operational teams across the business.

What You'll Do:

• Month-End Close — Drive a clean, accurate close in 5 business days or fewer; continuously improve the process without sacrificing quality
• Financial Reporting — Prepare and own internal financial statements, management reporting packages, and board-level materials
• Technical Accounting — Serve as the in-house SME on revenue recognition (ASC 606), equity compensation (ASC 718), and other complex areas relevant to a SaaS business
• Multi-Entity Management — Oversee accounting operations across multiple legal entities, including intercompany eliminations and consolidated reporting
• Tax & Compliance — Manage sales tax filings, state registrations, and multi-jurisdiction compliance; partner with external advisors on income tax
• Audit Management — Own the annual audit relationship end-to-end
• Equity Administration — Support cap table management and stock-based compensation accounting in coordination with Legal and People teams
• Travel / Expense Management - Oversee the T&E program including policy enforcement, reimbursement accuracy, and timely processing
• Systems & Tooling — Champion the use of modern accounting tools and automation; evaluate and implement improvements that increase accuracy and reduce manual work; Quickbooks, Tabs, Ramp, Navan, Anrok, Stripe, SVB, Carta, Expensify, Rippling
• External Accounting Team - Management of external accounting team; manage workflows, deliverable timelines, and quality of work product to ensure external resources are operating as a true extension of the team rather than a bottleneck.

What We're Looking For:

Experience

• 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, with meaningful time in SaaS or recurring-revenue software businesses
• Prior experience owning accounting at a startup through a fundraise, audit, or exit process
• Demonstrated ability to manage accounting in a multi-entity structure
• CPA license preferred

Skills & Competencies

• Deep technical accounting knowledge across revenue recognition, equity, and multi-entity consolidations
• Comfort operating in ambiguity — you can identify an unknown issue, diagnose the root cause, and drive to resolution without waiting to be told what to do
• Strong communicator who builds trust with non-Finance stakeholders (Sales, Marketing, People, Operations) and can translate accounting complexity into plain language
• Detail orientation that doesn't slow you down — you care about getting it right and getting it done
• Tools-forward mindset: you're curious about AI and modern accounting tools, quick to learn new systems, and motivated to eliminate manual processes
• Role requires proficiency with macOS and comfort working fully remotely using tools such as Slack, Google Workspace, and Zoom.

Mindset

• You take ownership — when something's broken, you fix it; when something's missing, you build it
• You have a clear point of view on what an excellent accounting organization looks like and the drive to build one
• You acts with thoughtful urgency and adheres and rallies others towards deadlines
• You're a constant iterator — always looking for a better way, not just fixing once and repeating what worked last time
