Role Summary

You are responsible for owning the day-to-day accounting function while building the systems, processes, and financial discipline needed to support a growing business.

Reporting directly to the CFO, you will lead the monthly close, oversee core accounting operations, and serve as the primary internal partner for audit readiness while working closely with our external Controller on technical accounting matters.

This is a highly visible, hands-on role for an experienced accountant who enjoys building structure, improving processes, and taking ownership. You'll play a key role in bringing accounting in-house, preparing the company for its first external audit, and building a strong financial foundation that supports our continued growth. For the right person, this role offers a clear path toward a future Controller opportunity as the business scales.

What You’ll Do

• Own the monthly close process, including journal entries, accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, account reconciliations, and financial statement preparation
• Transition day-to-day accounting responsibilities from our outsourced accounting partner and build a smooth, scalable in-house accounting function
• Manage accounts payable, accounts receivable, and maintain the accuracy and integrity of the general ledger
• Serve as the primary internal contact for external auditors, coordinating audit requests, preparing PBC schedules, and delivering complete supporting documentation
• Build and maintain audit-ready reconciliations, documentation, and supporting schedules that strengthen financial accuracy and audit readiness
• Apply ASC 606 revenue recognition principles for our subscription-based business while partnering with our external Controller on technical accounting matters
• Identify opportunities to improve accounting systems, workflows, and internal controls through automation and AI
• Ensure timely completion of corporate filings, business licenses, tax registrations, and recurring compliance requirements
• Coordinate finance-related administrative activities, including insurance renewals, vendor management, and maintenance of the corporate compliance calendar
• Support employee onboarding and offboarding by coordinating finance-related operational workflows and system access
• Partner with leadership to strengthen financial operations and build scalable processes that support the company's continued growth

What You Bring

• Strong ownership mentality with the ability to operate independently and deliver high-quality work
• Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy, organization, and documentation
• A continuous improvement mindset—you enjoy building better processes and creating structure as a business grows
• Sound judgment with the ability to identify issues, evaluate options, and make thoughtful recommendations
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to work effectively with leadership, auditors, and external partners
• Curiosity about technology, automation, and AI, with a practical approach to improving the way work gets done
• The ability to balance multiple priorities while maintaining a high standard of execution in a fast-moving environment

Qualifications

Required

• 6+ years of progressive accounting experience, including ownership of the monthly close
• Experience supporting external audits from the client side, public accounting, or both
• Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP, financial statement preparation, and account reconciliations
• Experience managing core accounting functions, including general ledger, accounts payable, and accounts receivable
• Ability to thrive as a hands-on individual contributor within a lean, growing organization
• Excellent organizational, documentation, and communication skills

Preferred

• CPA (active or in progress)
• Public accounting background, ideally in audit or assurance
