Job description

ABOUT NUMERAL

Numeral is transforming how taxes get done. Digital businesses are currently bogged down by a painful web of regulations across 47 states and 70+ countries. We’re eliminating this burden so teams can focus on their core mission.

We’re the largest and fastest-growing AI-native tax solution. Started in 2023, Numeral has raised over $57M from Benchmark, Mayfield, Y-Combinator, and many others. We now serve over 3,000 paying customers and have more than tripled our revenue every year in our history.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re hiring an Accounting Manager to help build the accounting foundation for Numeral’s next stage of growth. Reporting to our Controller, you’ll be a hands-on owner of the month-end close, core accounting operations, AR/AP, billing and invoicing workflows, balance sheet reconciliations, audit readiness, and finance systems improvements.

This is a high-impact role for someone who likes clean books, tight processes, and building from first principles. You’ll take meaningful work off the Controller’s plate while helping Numeral move from early-stage finance processes to a scalable, audit-ready accounting function.

You’ll be a great fit if you can both do the work yourself and build the process so the work gets easier, faster, and more reliable over time.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Own key parts of the monthly close process, including the close calendar, journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, flux analysis, and supporting schedules
  • Prepare balance sheet reconciliations across cash, AR, AP, prepaid expenses, accruals, deferred revenue utilizing ASC 606, fixed assets, payroll-related accounts, and other GL accounts
  • You’re comfortable leveraging AI to unblock yourself and create a process flow. The ideal candidate can problem solve and present solutions with minimal oversight
  • Partner with the Controller to improve close quality, reduce manual work by leveraging AI and automations, and move toward a faster, more predictable monthly close
  • Own AR, AP, billing, invoicing, and collections workflows, ensuring transactions are accurate, timely, and well documented
  • Work cross-functionally with Sales and Customer Success to resolve billing questions, contract changes and collections matters
  • Partner with the Controller on finance systems migration and audit preparedness
  • Take on ad hoc projects as needed

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

  • 5–8+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally with a mix of public accounting and high-growth SaaS company experience. CPA license is a plus
  • Strong working knowledge of US GAAP, ASC 606, subscription billing, and experience driving the month end close process in a fast paced company
  • Knowledge to run the AR, AP, billing, invoicing, collections, and order-to-cash processes.
  • Experience supporting audits and preparing clean, well-documented workpapers
  • Strong systems orientation, with experience using ERPs and modern finance tools such as NetSuite, Rillet, Campfire, QuickBooks,Ramp, Brex, Stripe, Salesforce, HubSpot, or Orb
  • Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills and comfort working with large datasets
  • High attention to detail and a strong bias toward clean documentation, clear ownership, and repeatable processes
  • Ability to operate in ambiguity, prioritize competing deadlines, and improve processes while still getting the close done
  • Leveraging AI to build out workflows and speed up the close process
  • Clear communication skills and the ability to work effectively with non-accounting stakeholders
  • Low-ego, high-ownership operating style. You are comfortable rolling up your sleeves and doing the work

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401(k)
  • Wellness perks
  • Lunch and snacks when you’re in the office
  • Regular team events and offsites
  • A high-ownership culture where your work will be visible and important
  • A chance to help build the accounting foundation for a company scaling quickly in a massive, complex market

Why work at Numeral

  • Culture: "Scrappy, gets stuff done, moves the ball forward" – built by former operators and engineers from Stripe, Notion, and Airbnb.
  • Work policy: Hybrid – HQ in San Francisco with remote options within the US (as noted on Y Combinator jobs).
  • Benefits: Competitive salary, meaningful equity (stock options), comprehensive health/wellness perks, top-of-the-line equipment.
  • Growth potential: One of the fastest-growing Y Combinator companies; employees get to shape a platform in a massive, underserved market.
  • Team: Small but rapidly growing (107 employees) with a flat structure and direct access to founders.
