Role Overview

We’re looking for a hands‑on Accounting Manager to join our growing team and support our general ledger accounting function. You’ll help manage the month‑end close, oversee reconciliations, and own key areas of our financial statements.

• Manage intercompany accounting and multi-currency activity across entities.

Financial Reporting

• Support management, board, and investor reporting.

Audit & Compliance

• Serve as a key point of contact for the annual financial statement audit, including PBC schedules and supporting documentation.
• Support tax filings and other compliance work with external advisors.

• Contribute to finance systems improvements and implementations.

Requirements

• 7+ years of accounting experience, including public accounting and in-house experience at a high-growth or public company.
• CPA or equivalent preferred.
• Proven ownership of the month‑end close, GL, and balance sheet reconciliations.
• Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP and hands‑on experience preparing financial statements.
• Experience supporting external audits.
• Proficiency with a modern ERP (e.g., NetSuite) and strong Excel/Google Sheets skills.
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and follow‑through, with the ability to manage competing priorities.
• A collaborative, proactive approach and comfort working in a fast‑paced environment where processes are still being built.
• Based in the San Francisco Bay Area or willing to relocate for a hybrid role.

Nice to Have

• Experience with multi‑entity, multi‑currency, and international operations.
• Exposure to SOX readiness or public-company reporting.

• We offer a competitive and thoughtfully structured compensation package designed to align with impact, experience, and long‑term growth.
• Base Salary: The anticipated salary range for this role is $160,000-$200,000, depending on experience, skills, scope, and location.
