Job description

About Dash0

Join Dash0 and help us define the future of observability. We are OpenTelemetry-native, building a delightful, simple, and AI-centric platform that eliminates vendor lock-in and meaningless toil. Shape a product that developers love—all with transparent pricing and cost-control built in.

As Staff Accountant, you'll be the day-to-day engine of our accounting operations. You'll own accounts payable end to end, drive a meaningful share of the month-end close, and help build the reconciliations, schedules, and documentation that keep a fast-growing SaaS business audit-ready.

This is a hands-on role at an early-stage finance function, so you'll get broad exposure: multi-entity consolidation, usage-based revenue, and sales tax compliance, with room to take on more as the company scales.

Duties

Month-End Close & General Ledger

Prepare and post journal entries for accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, payroll, and other recurring areas.
Own assigned balance sheet reconciliations, including cash, prepaids, accruals, and intercompany, with clear support and documented explanations for open items.
Maintain supporting schedules (prepaid amortization, fixed assets and depreciation, accrual rollforwards) and keep them tied to the GL.
Assist with flux and variance analysis on close deliverables, flagging unexpected movements before reporting goes out.
Help tighten the close calendar and document procedures as processes mature.

Accounts Payable & Disbursements

Own the AP cycle: vendor onboarding, invoice intake and coding, approval routing, and payment runs.
Manage corporate card and employee expense reporting, including policy compliance and receipt substantiation.
Reconcile the AP subledger to the GL and manage the accrual for unbilled vendor activity at period end.
Maintain vendor records, W-9s, and 1099 reporting.

Compliance & Tax Support

Support US sales tax compliance: nexus monitoring, registrations, filings, and exemption certificate management.
Assist with state and local registrations and annual filings as we expand.
Prepare schedules and pull support for external tax preparers and advisors.
Support intercompany transaction recording and reconciliation between our US and non-US entities. Work with external and internal entity stakeholders.

Systems, Process & Cross-Functional

Work in our ERP and connected systems day to day, helping improve data quality and automate manual steps.
Partner with GTM, Marketing, Engineering, HR and Operations on vendor, contract, and expense questions.
Take on ad hoc analysis and project work as the finance function builds out.

Skills

4+ years of accounting experience, ideally a mix of public accounting or in‑house at a technology or SaaS company.
Working knowledge of US GAAP and the accrual close cycle.
Hands‑on experience owning AP and account reconciliations.
Comfort in an ERP (NetSuite, Rillet, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, or similar).
Able to work through large data exports in Excel or Sheets — pivots, lookups, tying subledger detail back to the GL.
Comfortable using and implementing AI tools and solutions
Clear written communication and comfort working cross functionally
