- Support external audits and tax filings, working directly with outside auditors and tax advisors

- Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll accounting processes

- Identify opportunities to improve accounting workflows and systems as the company scales

- Ensure compliance with revenue recognition standards, particularly for SaaS and subscription-based revenue

Requirements

- 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including experience managing or mentoring others

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

- CPA preferred, not required

- Strong working knowledge of GAAP and month-end close processes

- Experience with modern accounting software (e.g., NetSuite (preferred), Quickbooks, or similar ERP systems, Ramp, Brex, Salesforce)

- Experience in a high-growth SaaS or technology company a plus

- Excellent attention to detail and a genuine interest in building clean, scalable processes

- Strong communication skills — you can explain the numbers clearly to non-finance stakeholders

- A collaborative mindset and comfort working in a fast-paced, evolving environment
