The Role

Crafty is seeking an Accounting Manager, AP + Partner Billing to lead the accounting operations supporting Accounts Payable, Partner Billing, and related month-end close activities. This role is responsible for designing scalable operating processes, strengthening financial controls, overseeing outsourced accounting operations, and ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of partner billing and disbursement activities. The Accounting Manager will serve as the primary owner of Partner Billing close readiness, accounting workflow governance, vendor and partner escalations, Ramp administration, NetSuite data integrity, and Flatworld performance management.

This person will manage the Senior Accounting Specialist and oversee three Flatworld resources responsible for Partner Billing, Core operations, manual order workflows, Ramp draft bill readiness, coding review, and recurring accounting support activities. The Accounting Manager will establish operational standards, performance expectations, and scalable processes across a high-volume, cross-functional accounting organization.

As Crafty continues to evolve its accounting operations, this role will play a key leadership role in standardizing processes, strengthening documentation, improving automation, and building sustainable operating procedures that support future growth.

Success in this role means building a scalable accounting operations function that runs on reliable processes, strong controls, clear ownership, and measurable performance.
