Accounting Manager

About The Role

The role owns the day-to-day accounting close and financial reporting function, ensuring accuracy and completeness under US GAAP across a high-growth technology environment. This position is the anchor of the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, and a key driver of SOX compliance readiness and external audit execution.

You will work closely with FP&A, revenue, and engineering leadership to ensure financial data is timely, controlled, and audit-ready — supporting SEC reporting requirements, board reporting, and scaling accounting infrastructure as the company grows.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the monthly and quarterly close process, including journal entries, account reconciliations, and flux analysis across all major balance sheet and P&L accounts
• Prepare GAAP-compliant financial statements and supporting schedules for internal stakeholders and external auditors
• Lead technical accounting research on complex topics including ASC 606 revenue recognition, ASC 842 leases, and stock-based compensation under ASC 718
• Design, document, and operate SOX key controls; coordinate quarterly control testing and remediate deficiencies with process owners
• Manage external audit relationships, PBC request lists, and audit deliverables to keep engagement timelines on track
• Drive automation and systems improvement across the close, including NetSuite configurations, Flux reporting, and close-management tooling (e.g., BlackLine, FloQast)
• Supervise and mentor staff accountants, reviewing deliverables and building their technical depth over time

What We Are Looking For

• 5-8 years of combined public accounting (Big 4 or national firm preferred) and industry accounting experience
• CPA license (active or in good standing) and Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
• Deep technical knowledge of US GAAP and hands‑on experience with ASC 606 revenue recognition
• Direct experience designing or operating SOX 404 controls and supporting external audits
• Proficiency with a major ERP (NetSuite, SAP, or Workday) and Excel at an advanced level
• Track record of improving close efficiency — compressing close timelines or automating reconciliations
• Bonus: SEC reporting exposure (10-K/10-Q preparation), equity/stock-comp administration experience, or prior SaaS/technology industry experience
