Job description

Who we are:
We’re not just building a company — we’re building a different way of working. Around here, Customer Empathy leads everything we do. We trust you to make smart decisions with the customer’s needs at heart — because with freedom comes responsibility.
Integrity is non-negotiable. We speak with honesty, act with humility, and take ownership — even when it’s hard. Candor is part of how we build trust, not break it.
We believe Life > Work. A fulfilling life fuels great work, not the other way around. We encourage our team to embrace experiences, relationships, and passions outside the office — and trust each other to show up fully when it matters most.
We believe titles provide clarity, not superiority. Servant Leadership means we lead by lifting others, sharing information openly, and keeping politics and ego out of the equation.
Our version of Stewardship is about more than careful management — it’s about honoring the talents, resources, and opportunities entrusted to us by treating them with creativity, accountability, and vision.
And because we believe trust is earned daily, Transparency is our operating system. We share early, often, and honestly — making sure no one is ever left guessing.
At the heart of it all? High freedom. High responsibility. Radical trust. If you’re energized by ownership, motivated by purpose, and ready to help build a culture where people and ideas thrive — you’re in the right place.

Your Strengths:
You build strong foundations — and scalable futures. You thrive in environments where systems are taking shape, and you’re energized by the opportunity to design processes that don’t just work now, but work better over time.
You balance precision with perspective. You can close the books with accuracy and dive into the “why” behind the numbers to support smart, strategic decisions.
You’re calm under pressure. Whether it’s audit season or month-end close, you stay focused, organized, and one step ahead.
You lead with ownership. You care deeply about doing great work and take pride in setting the standard — for yourself and for the team around you.
You’re a builder. You’re not looking for a plug-and-play role — you want to help shape the future of a high-growth SaaS company from the ground up.

What you’ll do:
Take ownership of the essentials — accounts payable, bank reconciliations, accruals, journal entries — and elevate them through smart, efficient processes that scale.
Lead the charge through our annual audit process, working directly with external partners to ensure a smooth and successful outcome.
Play a key role in monthly close, ensuring it’s done accurately, insightfully, and faster with every cycle.
Serve as a strategic partner to finance leadership and other departments, helping optimize the general ledger and structure for smarter reporting.
Support the development of internal controls and accounting best practices as we grow.
Design for the future — and build toward it. You’ll start by doing the work and evolve into leading the work, including hiring and managing an accounting team.

What you’ll bring:
3–5 years of experience in accounting roles, ideally within a high-growth SaaS environment
Solid understanding of ASC 606 and how it applies to SaaS revenue recognition
Experience leading or supporting financial audits, with confidence working directly with external auditors
Hands-on experience with Sage Intacct or NetSuite ERP systems
CPA certification a plus — or you’re actively pursuing it or open to doing so in the future
A structured, detail-oriented mindset — you know how to build processes that are both accurate and efficient
A proactive approach to problem-solving — you don’t wait to be asked; you’re already working on it
Enthusiasm for helping a growing company scale — you're ready to own your work now and help shape the future as we grow
