  • Cross-Functional & Process Alignment: Partner with key operational departments to gain a clear understanding of end-to-end business operations, ensuring accounting workflows properly reflect underlying operational activities.
  • Month-End & Year-End Close: Assist the Controller in executing an efficient, timely month-end close cycle and support preparation for annual audits.
  • Expense Processing & Management: Oversee and manage expense processing workflows, ensuring policy compliance, accurate coding, and timely resolution of expense queries.
  • Process Improvement: Continuously evaluate accounting and operational procedures, recommending and implementing process automation or efficiencies where applicable.

Required Qualifications & Experience

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • Experience: 3–5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally within tech, IT services, SaaS, or hospitality-adjacent sectors.
  • Business & Operational Acumen: Strong familiarity with operational business processes and how front-line operations impact the general ledger and financial statements.
  • Software Proficiency:
  • NetSuite: Hands-on experience with NetSuite ERP required.
  • Microsoft Excel: Advanced proficiency (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, data manipulation, index/match).
  • Expense Software: Experience utilizing expense management systems (e.g., Concur, Ramp, Expensify, or similar).

Key Competencies & Personal Attributes

  • Autonomy & Ownership: Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while taking full ownership of assigned tasks and deadlines.
  • Commercial Mindset: Ability to map accounting activities back to core business functions and commercial workflows.
  • Attention to Detail: High level of accuracy in data entry, account analysis, and financial reporting.
  • Communication: Clear, professional verbal and written communication skills across all organizational levels.
  • Positive Attitude: Brings a constructive, collaborative, and adaptable mindset to team initiatives and daily challenges.

  • Benefits include medical, dental, vision, 401(k), flexible PTO, parental leave, and more
