Job description

About The Role

The Accounting Manager owns the core accounting infrastructure of the business: monthly close, GAAP-compliant financial reporting, and the internal control environment required of a public-company-bound technology organization. This role matters because accurate books and defensible SOX controls underpin every downstream decision — audit readiness, S-1 preparation, board reporting, and investor confidence all trace back to this team's work.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process, hitting tight deadlines while ensuring US GAAP compliance across revenue recognition (ASC 606), accruals, and intercompany eliminations
• Prepare and review financial statements and supporting schedules, coordinating with external auditors during interim and year-end audit cycles
• Maintain and test SOX 404 internal controls, including key process narratives, control matrices, and remediation of identified deficiencies
• Manage complex technical accounting areas such as stock-based compensation (ASC 718), capitalized software, and leases (ASC 842), documenting position papers for significant judgments
• Oversee the general ledger, reconcile balance sheet accounts, and drive automation of manual close tasks using NetSuite (or similar ERP) and BlackLine
• Supervise and develop a team of senior accountants and accounting analysts, reviewing their work and setting close calendar priorities
• Partner with FP&A, legal, and engineering finance business partners on new product launches, SaaS billing structures, and revenue contracts requiring accounting review

What We Are Looking For

• 5-8 years of combined public accounting and industry experience, including Big 4 or national firm audit background
• CPA (active or inactive) with deep working knowledge of US GAAP and SOX 404 control frameworks
• Hands-on ERP expertise — NetSuite preferred — plus advanced Excel and close automation tools (BlackLine, FloQast, or similar)
• Experience with ASC 606 revenue recognition for SaaS or technology businesses, including multi-element arrangements and contract modifications
• Track record of improving close cycles and owning audit deliverables with minimal oversight
• BA/BS in Accounting or Finance; Master's in Accounting a plus
• Bonus: SEC reporting experience (10-K/10-Q drafting), familiarity with equity administration tools (Carta, Shareworks), or prior experience at a company through the IPO process
