  • Research and resolve complex accounting issues; draft technical accounting memos and support the adoption of new accounting standards

  • Evaluate, implement, and optimize accounting systems, tools, and financial technology to support scale and reduce manual processes

  • Design, implement, and maintain strong internal controls, accounting policies, and procedures to support audit readiness and risk mitigation

  • Build, mentor, and manage the accounting team, developing both technical expertise and leadership capability

  • Partner cross-functionally with FP&A, Revenue Operations, Sales, Professional Services, People, and Legal to support business initiatives

  • Analyze financial trends and communicate results, risks, and insights clearly to senior leadership

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

  • CPA strongly preferred

  • 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally within high-growth technology or SaaS environments

  • Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting best practices

  • Proven experience leading audits and working with external advisors

  • Ability to operate independently, prioritize effectively, and influence stakeholders in a fast-paced environment

  • Excellent analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills

What’s Offered

  • Competitive base salary with performance-based bonus

  • Meaningful equity participation
