Job description

What you will be doing:

• Close ownership: Lead the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close. Own timeliness, accuracy, and continuous improvement of the close calendar.
• Balance sheet ownership: Own the balance sheet end-to-end — reconciliations, review, and accuracy across cash, receivables, payables, fixed assets, accruals, deferred revenue, deferred commissions, and capitalized software.
• Audit leadership: Serve as the primary point of contact for our external auditors. Manage documentation, prepare technical accounting memos, and drive the audit to a clean, on-time finish.
• Revenue and compliance: Maintain GAAP revenue recognition under ASC 606. Own sales tax filings, nexus analysis, and debt covenant compliance reporting.
• AP, AR, and payroll oversight: Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll operations. Initially hands‑on; over time, transition execution to automation and agents under your direction.
• Automation and systems design: Evaluate, deploy, and maintain the tooling stack that powers the accounting function — including NetSuite, Ramp, and emerging AI agent tools. Build the roadmap for what gets automated and what stays with you.
• FP&A partnership: Support the FP&A team with accurate actuals, GAAP revenue forecasting inputs, and cash flow forecasting.
• Cross‑functional collaboration: Partner with Operations, R&D, and Revenue teams to ensure data accuracy supporting revenue recognition, commissions, and reporting.

Join Clozd and help define what a modern accounting function looks like. If you are an accounting professional who is energized by building rather than maintaining, we want to hear from you.

• ASC 606 / SaaS revenue recognition experience
• Audit experience, ideally as a primary point of contact
• Experience with deferred commissions and capitalized software
• Multi‑state payroll and sales tax nexus experience
• Familiarity with finance automation tooling (Ramp, Bill.com) and AI/agent‑based workflows
• Experience at a SaaS company

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation (i.e. salary, bonus, 401k, and equity)
• Majority of medical, dental, disability, life, and other insurance paid
• Unlimited PTO with a boss that encourages taking time off and using PTO to recharge
