Accounting Manager

Accounting Role at Reflection

You'll be the first dedicated accounting hire at Reflection. This is a foundational role: you'll own accounting operations and compliance across our jurisdictions.

What You'll Own

• Monthly close & bookkeeping. Up-level and partially in-house our monthly close process, currently managed by an external bookkeeping firm. Coordinate across entities to ensure accurate, timely financials.

• Accounts payable. Own the full AP cycle — vendor onboarding, invoice processing, payment runs, and reconciliation.

• Payroll. Manage payroll across the US and UK (via providers), including the complexity around insurance, tax withholdings, and benefits deductions. Ensure accuracy and compliance.

• Employee expenses. Own expense approval workflows, set and enforce expense policies, and manage the reimbursement process.

• Tax & compliance. Ensure all tax filings and associated compliance obligations are completed on time and accurately across jurisdictions. Manage relationships with external tax advisors.

• Audit readiness. Coordinate prospective audits across US and UK entities — prepare documentation, liaise with auditors, and remediate findings.

• Systems. Lead evaluation and implementation of systems changes as needed (e.g., NetSuite migration) to support revenue recognition, international entity consolidation, and scale.

• Treasury. Provide treasury reporting and support liquidity management across entities and currencies.

What We're Looking For

• Experience as an early accounting hire at a high-growth, venture-backed company

• 4-8 years of progressive accounting experience

• Multi-entity and international accounting experience (intercompany, multi-currency, statutory reporting)

• Track record of building processes from scratch in an unstructured environment

• Experience implementing new tools, including ERP/system of record migrations

• Comfortable being deeply hands-on while also thinking strategically about what the function needs next

• CPA or equivalent qualification preferred
