Accounting Manager - SaaS Reporting & Tax Compliance

A PE-backed global SaaS company is entering a critical phase of growth and integration following a major acquisition. This role works directly with global finance leadership and offers exposure to international reporting, cross-border collaboration, and large-scale finance transformation initiatives. Backed by private investors and moving through a major integration chapter, the business is investing in stronger reporting, cleaner controls, and a more scalable US finance foundation. This newly established position provides an opportunity to influence financial operations, regulatory oversight, technology initiatives, and international collaboration efforts while acting as a primary finance leader for the U.S. business. Austin-centered role with remote flexibility now, and a hybrid target of about two days per week once the new office opens. What You Will Do Lead accounting oversight for US entities, with a strong focus on close quality, balance sheet accuracy, reconciliations, and local reporting support. Build practical processes that improve statutory compliance, audit readiness, documentation standards, and overall finance discipline. Partner closely with international finance leaders to align US accounting activity with broader reporting timelines, policies, and business priorities. Evaluate the current state of sales tax and nexus obligations, then help shape a more scalable approach with advisors and automation support. Contribute to finance transformation initiatives, including ERP-related process improvement and stronger reporting workflows. Act as a trusted finance resource for US stakeholders by bringing responsiveness, sound judgment, and a business-minded perspective. Help strengthen a function that is moving from highly manual, people-dependent processes toward a more structured and scalable operating model. Serve as a key finance leader helping build the long-term US finance infrastructure for a rapidly growing organization. What You Bring Strong experience in US GAAP, financial reporting, and controllership-oriented accounting work. Ability to support audits and work confidently with external partners and advisors. Background in SaaS, software, or other recurring revenue environments is strongly preferred. Exposure to ERP implementations, systems improvement, or finance transformation work. Working knowledge of US sales tax, nexus, or indirect tax compliance. CPA strongly preferred, though other relevant accounting credentials may be considered. Comfort operating independently in a high-ownership individual contributor role. Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with finance leadership based in Europe.
