    • Accounts Receivable & Revenue: Oversee billing, collections, and cash application; own revenue recognition under ASC 606, including revenue-share calculations.

    • Lease Accounting: Maintain lease schedules and ensure compliance with ASC 842, including proper classification, measurement, and reporting.

    • Payroll: Partner with HR on payroll processing and commission calculations; review payroll for accuracy, ensure proper recording and accruals in the GL, and support compliance with federal, state, and local payroll tax and benefits reporting.

    • Audit & Tax: Serve as the primary contact for external auditors and the external CPA firm; support the annual audit and ensure timely filing of corporate tax returns.

    • Compliance: Manage multi-state registrations and ongoing compliance filings.

    • Systems & Controls: Strengthen internal controls and lead ERP selection and migration as the business scales.

    Who you are:

    • 5-8+ years relevant experience including team leadership.

    • CPA preferred; BS/BA in Accounting or Finance.

    • Strong US GAAP/ASC 606 expertise; hands-on rev rec or contract cost experience.

    • Proficiency with QuickBooks, Excel, and bill/payroll tools; ERP experience (NetSuite/Intacct) preferred

    • Clear communicator, process builder, and results-driven operator.

    • Programmatic ad revenue or revenue share experience preferred.

    • Multi-state/sales tax, cross-border payments, or vendor tax documentation preferred.

    • First-year audit or ERP migration exposure preferred.
