• Support annual audits and compliance requirements.
• Contribute to system implementations.
• Assist with ad hoc analysis and special projects, such as KPI tracking or acquisition integration.
• Support tax compliance activities, including preparation of information for corporate income tax filings, sales tax, and other indirect tax reporting.
• Manage inter-company transactions, ensuring proper recording, reconciliation, and elimination for consolidated financial statements.

What you will bring to the role:

• 4+ years of accounting experience within a high-growth environment
  • At least 2 years of experience in a similar role within a technology company (SaaS experience strongly preferred).
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Business Administration, Finance, or a related field; advanced credentials such as CPA, CMA, or MBA are highly desirable.
• Solid understanding of federal, state, and local tax compliance requirements, including reporting obligations and basic regulatory knowledge.
• Strong proficiency in US GAAP, with hands‑on experience applying ASC 606 (Revenue Recognition) in a SaaS or subscription-based business model.
• Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment.
• Demonstrated problem‑solving, analytical, and critical‑thinking capabilities, with strong attention to detail.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex information clearly and professionally.
• Strong interpersonal and collaboration skills, with a proven ability to build relationships across teams and functions.
• Experience leading a team, demonstrating ability to guide, mentor, and develop team members.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel, including complex formulas, modeling, and data analysis tools.

• Rightsline was the very first cloud‑based rights and contract management platform, so we’re used to innovation.
• You will become part of an amazing culture with a supportive executive team, smart colleagues who truly care, and a global team that’s been rocking this virtual collaboration thing since before anyone had ever heard the term COVID‑19.
