Senior Manager, Accounting

Role Description

Wunderkind is seeking a Senior Manager of Accounting to serve as a cornerstone of the Finance & Accounting organization — someone who brings serious technical depth, a builder’s mindset, and genuine curiosity about how emerging technologies can transform how accounting work gets done. This role owns complex accounting areas including revenue recognition, leases, and internal-use software, and partnering closely across Finance, Legal, and the business.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone with a strong technical foundation who enjoys working across a variety of accounting topics, digging into complex issues, and improving how work gets done in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and manage the more complex corporate accounting areas, such as internal-use-software capitalization, hosting, leases, intercompany, and intangible assets.
• Support accounting for certain revenue streams, such as core-subscription, text messaging and advertising revenue.
• Perform and review key account reconciliations, rollforwards, and accounting analyses across high-impact accounts.
• Research accounting guidance (e.g., ASC 350-40, ASC 606, ASC 842) and update technical memos to support new facts and circumstances.
• Perform monthly variance and fluctuation analyses; translate accounting activity into clear explanations of business drivers.
• Actively seek out and implement AI tools and automation to eliminate manual effort — without compromising internal controls or accuracy.
• Redesign spreadsheet-based workflows for speed and scalability; build and maintain process documentation suitable for audit and SOX-equivalent review.
• Support interim and year-end audit processes; maintain audit-ready documentation across all owned areas at all times.
• Assist in managing 1–2 accounting professionals and review their work; provide technical coaching, work product review, and ongoing development feedback.

• 4+ years of accounting experience, including public accounting (Big 4 preferred) or a mix of public and industry experience.
• Strong technical accounting knowledge, including revenue recognition (ASC 606), IUS (ASC 350-40), and leases (ASC 842).
• Experience preparing reconciliations, rollforwards, and financial analyses.
• Experience supporting process improvements or automation initiatives.
• Understanding of internal controls and audit processes.
• Collaborate effectively with accounting team members with varying skill levels.
• Advanced Excel skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• CPA preferred, not required.
• Experience with NetSuite or comparable ERP system.
• Experience in SaaS or start-up company environments.
• Exposure to international accounting or multi-entity structures.

Benefits

• The base salary range for this role is $140,000.00 to $160,000.00.
