The Neato Company•Paradise, NV

About The Position

Neato is one of the most operator-focused companies in enterprise eCommerce. We buy inventory, become the seller of record on Amazon, and run the entire channel end-to-end for brands doing $20M–$300M+ in revenue. No hand-waving. No strategy decks. We own outcomes. Finance is the spine of an operator-led business. The faster we move, the more disciplined the books have to be. This role makes that possible. This is the seat that runs accounting at Neato. You own the close, you own the books, you own the reporting that lands in front of leadership every month. You also own the build — the systems, the controls, and the upgrades that take the function from where it is today to where it needs to be next year. This is not an assist role. You are the function. You'll lead with the support of leadership and the external CPA, but the day-to-day standard, accuracy, and pace of finance is yours. You'll partner directly with the CEO and the broader leadership team. Every department touches finance, and every department head will know you by name. The seat is built so the right person grows into Controller as the business scales. If you've spent your career inside someone else's accounting system and you're ready to build one that actually works — this role is for you.

Requirements

6+ years of accounting experience, with at least 2 years owning the close end-to-end
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
Deep QuickBooks Online expertise — you've run it as a system of record, not just used it
Strong GAAP fluency and a working knowledge of accrual accounting in an operating business
Excel / Google Sheets at a financial-modeling level — pivots, lookups, conditionals, model-building
Track record of building or migrating an accounting system, not just maintaining one
Direct experience producing financial reporting that leadership actually uses to make decisions
Clear, direct communication — you can explain a number to a non-finance leader in one sentence
Ability to operate without hand-holding and without ego — you ask for what you need and own what you commit to

Nice To Haves

CPA, CMA, or actively pursuing one
Experience in eCommerce, marketplace, or inventory-heavy businesses (Amazon 2P / FBA a strong plus)
Hands-on experience with modern AP automation and corporate-card platforms
Background scaling a finance function inside a high-growth company
Experience supporting investor, lender, or PE-grade reporting cadence
Prior experience managing or mentoring a junior accountant or bookkeeper

Responsibilities

Run month-end and year-end close start to finish. Accruals, prepaids, journal entries, supporting schedules, ledger integrity. On schedule, every month, without drama.
Prepare and deliver clean P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow to leadership monthly. Translate numbers into something the business can actually act on.
Manage AP, AR, GL, reconciliations, payroll partnership, expense management. Own the standards and the accuracy of every number.
Partner with the external CPA on annual audit and tax filings. Ensure documentation is complete and organized year-round.
Evaluate, select, and improve the tools and workflows finance runs on. Build and document controls for a high-growth company, including approval flows, segregation of duties, vendor onboarding, and expense policies.
Work alongside HR on payroll and headcount cost, with operations on inventory accounting and COGS, and with leadership on cash forecasting and decisions that need a number.
