About The Role
The Accounting Manager owns the integrity of the close: general ledger, month-end and quarter-end reporting, and technical accounting under US GAAP, in a fast-moving technology environment subject to SOX controls and SEC reporting requirements. The role matters because clean, auditable financials are the foundation for every decision leadership makes — from board reporting to fundraising to public-company readiness. The Accounting Manager leads a small team, partners closely with FP&A and Compliance, and drives continuous improvement in close processes and internal controls.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close, delivering accurate financial statements within a compressed 5-business-day timeline
- Prepare and review complex reconciliations and journal entries, including revenue recognition (ASC 606), capitalization, accruals, and intercompany transactions
- Apply technical accounting research on ASC topics (606, 842, 350, 718) and document positions in technical memos for internal and external audit review
- Maintain and strengthen SOX 404 internal controls, coordinating control walkthroughs, remediation, and audit readiness with internal and external auditors
- Manage and develop a team of 2-4 accountants, reviewing their work, setting priorities, and building close automation and documentation
- Partner with FP&A, Revenue Operations, and Engineering on system integrations between ERP (NetSuite or similar), billing platforms, and the general ledger
- Support SEC reporting workflows, including drafting financial statement footnotes and supporting quarterly reviews and annual audits
What We Are Looking For
- 5-8 years of accounting experience, including Big 4 or national firm audit background and in-house close ownership
- Deep working knowledge of US GAAP; hands‑on experience with ASC 606 revenue recognition and SOX control environments
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA license required
- Advanced ERP proficiency (NetSuite, SAP, or Oracle) plus strong Excel and close-management tooling (BlackLine, FloQast, or similar)
- Experience preparing financial statements and supporting external audits end-to-end
- Proven people management and cross‑functional collaboration in a high‑growth environment
- Bonus: SEC reporting experience (10-K/10-Q preparation), public‑company readiness or IPO experience, and exposure to equity/stock‑based compensation accounting (ASC 718)
