Accounting Lead | AI-powered SaaS scale-up | First Accounting hire | $120,000 - $165,000 + Equity

I’m currently working with a Series A AI-powered B2B SaaS scale-up that is looking to make its first dedicated accounting hire in New York.

The business has raised $30m in its Series A from a group of leading VCs and is building AI-powered software that is changing how law firms manage time, billing and legal work.

The team is still incredibly lean, so this is a genuine opportunity to join early and have a significant impact.

The role:

You’ll take ownership of the accounting function and help build the processes, systems and controls needed as the company scales.

Profile:

• 4+ years progressive accounting experience

• Big 4 CPA & experience within a high-growth tech business

• Has strong month-end close experience

• Is highly proficient with Excel / Google Sheets & SQL(Plus)

• Enjoys building rather than inheriting established processes

• Strong with AI

• Is comfortable working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment

• Takes ownership and is happy to roll up their sleeves

The package:

NYC, Midtown | On-site

$120k–$165k + equity

Series A B2B SaaS

Equity benchmarked around the 95th percentile of the market

This would suit someone who wants to get in early, work closely with an experienced finance leader and build an accounting function from the ground up.
