Your work will be critical to maintaining the integrity of our financial records and providing management with reliable monthly financial statements.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of core accounting processes in a fast-growing SaaS business, working closely with cross-functional teams while building scalable accounting operations.

• 5+ years of full-cycle accounting experience with ownership of month-end close processes
• Prior experience in SaaS or high-growth subscription businesses
• Strong technical accounting skills: GAAP knowledge, revenue recognition, balance sheet reconciliations, and accrual accounting
• Advanced Excel proficiency: Comfortable with complex/nested formulas, and building reporting templates
• Experience with QBO, Ramp & Stripe (subscription management, billing and payment processing), or similar tools
• Detail-oriented and organized: Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet close deadlines with accuracy
• Collaborative communicator: Work effectively across teams and explain accounting concepts to non-finance stakeholders

Bonus points

$110,000 - 120,000 USD per year
