• Manage the annual audit and maintain strong internal controls and accounting policies
• Partner with Finance and leaders across the company on reporting, forecasting and strategic projects
• Use AI and automation to make the close faster and our reporting more insightful

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or a related field
• 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including public accounting or a high-growth company, with 3+ years managing accounting staff
• Deep knowledge of US generally accepted accounting principles, including ASC 606 for software-as-a-service or subscription businesses
• Proven ownership of the month-end close and the annual external audit
• Hands-on NetSuite and Salesforce experience; FloQast, Avalara, Ramp and Expensify experience is a plus
• Curiosity about AI and a track record of using automation to improve accounting work

Who you are

• A coach and leader who develops people and builds trust across the team.
• A business partner who sees accounting as a way to help leaders make better decisions.
• Curious and forward-thinking, always looking for a better, faster way to get things done.
• Hands-on and collaborative, comfortable in a fast-moving environment and happy to pitch in wherever needed.
