About the Role

A mission-driven U.S.-based software company is seeking a highly experienced Bookkeeper / SaaS Accountant to take full ownership of its financial operations. You'll be stepping into a critical role, replacing an outsourced accounting function and becoming the cornerstone of the company's internal finance operations.

This is more than a typical bookkeeping role - you'll be deeply involved in managing recurring revenue, supporting SaaS-specific metrics, integrating financial systems, and ensuring compliance with GAAP and ASC 606. It's a fantastic opportunity for someone with SaaS industry accounting experience and a passion for data accuracy, automation, and growth-stage financial stewardship.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the full bookkeeping process using QuickBooks Online (QBO) and Maxio
• Generate and manage customer invoices and recurring billing schedules
• Manage accounts payable, T&E, and expense tracking (via tools like Ramp)
• Conduct AR follow-ups and liaise directly with customers when necessary
• Maintain and reconcile deferred revenue schedules and ensure accurate revenue recognition
• Track ARR, MRR, churn, retention, and other SaaS-specific metrics
• Organize and maintain financial documentation including contracts, SOWs, and order forms
• Handle month-end close, financial reconciliations, and internal reporting
• Collaborate on budgets, forecasting, and cash flow projections
• Integrate and optimize workflows across systems (QBO, HubSpot, Maxio, RevOps)
• Generate dashboards and reports on SaaS KPIs (LTV, CAC, NRR, CAC payback, GM, etc.)
• Support board and investor reporting and due diligence with clean, defensible reporting

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 3-5 years of accounting/bookkeeping experience, preferably in a B2B SaaS or tech company
• Deep knowledge of U.S. GAAP and ASC 606 revenue recognition principles
• Expert in QuickBooks Online (QBO)
• Experience with Ramp, Maxio, and other modern accounting tools
• Comfortable integrating CRMs like HubSpot with financial systems
• Highly proficient in Excel, with working knowledge of PowerPoint and Outlook
• Strong organizational skills, high attention to detail, and accuracy under deadlines
• Excellent written and spoken English communication
• Able to work independently and handle complex workflows in a remote, fast-paced setting

Tools & Tech Environment

• QuickBooks Online (GL)
• Ramp (AP & Expense Management)
• Maxio (revenue subledger)
• HubSpot (CRM)
• RevOps / CPQ tools
• Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Slack / Zoom

Why This Role?

• Become the financial backbone of a fast-growing, purpose-driven SaaS company
• Work in a remote-first environment with autonomy and clear ownership
• Drive real impact through system integration, reporting, and strategic insight
• Get involved in end-to-end finance operations beyond traditional bookkeeping
• Join a team passionate about building tools that empower communities
