5. Audit & Compliance: Coordinate annual audits and ensure compliance with internal controls, accounting standards, and tax regulations.
6. Cash Management: Support treasury functions, including cash flow forecasting, banking relationships, and currency risk management.
7. Tax Compliance: Oversee the preparation and filing of federal, state, and international tax filings in coordination with external advisors; ensure compliance with evolving tax regulations across jurisdictions.
8. International Accounting: Collaborate with our Netherlands-based finance team to ensure compliance with local standards and tax laws.
9. Process Improvement: Streamline and scale accounting operations, policies, and systems using automation and AI technologies to increase accuracy, speed, and efficiency.

Skills and Experience:

• 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership in SaaS or tech companies.
• Hands-on experience with NetSuite is a plus.
• Familiarity with Dutch/Netherlands GAAP and tax frameworks is a significant advantage.

• Experience in SaaS and multi-entity/global organizations.
• Knowledge of standards relevant to SaaS companies.

Reasons to Join Us:

• Help build and support a leading martech product.
