Key responsibilities:

• Manage external relationships with auditors, accountants and tax providers
• Optimise current tech stack + scope out an AI-native ERP (Rillet, Campfire etc)

Candidate profile:

• Active CPA
• Hypergrowth scaleup experience (SaaS / AI), ideally with experience of building the accounting function from the ground up
