• Coordinate audit requests with external auditors, and research and resolve audit issues raised.
• Own the integrity of key accounting processes by understanding transaction flows and internal controls, and recommending efficiency improvements.
• Lead accounting projects from scoping through implementation, including documentation and training.
• Perform special projects assigned by the Finance lead.

Who We Are Looking For:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance preferred
• 5+ years of accounting and finance experience, preferably in a mix of professional services (public accounting) and high-growth companies.
• CPA, highly preferred
• Hands-on ASC 606 experience with subscription revenue; SaaS experience strongly preferred.
• Strong understanding of internal controls and compliance requirements.
• Ability to define, implement, and manage the creation of new processes.
• Ability to leverage technology to invent, improve, and scale.
• Demonstrated experience as a primary point of contact for external auditors.
• A track record of explaining technical accounting to non-finance audiences, in writing and in person.
