Job description

From Fivetran’s founding until now, our mission has remained the same: to make access to data as simple and reliable as electricity. With Fivetran, customer data arrives in their warehouses, canonical and ready to query, with no engineering or maintenance required. We’re proud that more organizations continue to leverage our technology every day to become truly data-driven.

About the Role

Fivetran is building data pipelines to power the modern data stack for thousands of companies.

We’re looking for a self-motivated, detail-oriented, and technically proficient Technical Accounting & Financial Reporting Manager. This individual will play a key role in supporting complex accounting matters, building scalable processes, collaborating cross-functionally, and contributing to a strong internal control and reporting environment that meets the standards of a sophisticated, fast-growing SaaS company.

This is a full-time, hybrid position based out of our Oakland, CA office or Denver, CO office. Our hybrid work model offers a blend of remote flexibility and in-person collaboration, including two days in the office each week to connect and build as a team.

What You’ll Do

• Research, analyze, and document technical accounting issues and memos and prepare calculations to support accounting conclusions and facilitate external audit reviews in accordance with US GAAP, including but not limited to ASC 350-40 (Capitalized Software), ASC 340 (Capitalized Commissions), ASC 842 (Leases), ASC 718 (Stock-Based Compensation), ASC 805 (Business Combinations), and ASC 480 (Debt & Equity).
• Collaborate with teams across Accounting Operations, Engineering, Finance, Legal, HR, and other departments to ensure technical guidance is consistently operationalized and understood.
• Support initiatives to enhance external reporting readiness, including complex accounting topics, disclosures, and process improvements.
• Help design and implement efficient, SOX-compliant accounting processes and internal controls to support organizational growth.
• Partner with external auditors and consultants to ensure timely and accurate conclusions on accounting matters.
• Provide training and mentorship to team members on technical accounting topics and emerging standards.

Skills We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of combined experience in Big 4 public accounting and/or corporate accounting at a SaaS or high-growth technology company; CPA license strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated technical accounting expertise and experience drafting memos on complex, non-routine transactions.
• Strong understanding of US GAAP and internal control frameworks (e.g., SOX).
• Experience working in or supporting a company with increasing external reporting, audit, or regulatory complexity.
• Familiarity with ERP systems (NetSuite preferred) and a mindset toward process improvement and automation.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to collaborate across departments.
• Self-starter with strong organizational skills and attention to detail; comfortable working independently in a high-growth, fast-paced environment.

Bonus Skills

• Familiarity working with Workiva, Looker, or similar tools for ad-hoc deep dives.
• SQL skills are a plus, particularly for data extraction and analysis.
