Accounting Manager

Motorq•San Francisco, CA

43d•$120,000 - $140,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Motorq is seeking an Accounting Manager to build and maintain a strong accounting foundation as the company scales. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role responsible for owning the day-to-day accounting operations, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, and the monthly and quarterly close process. The ideal candidate has direct operating accounting experience within a company, is comfortable taking full ownership of the books with minimal oversight, and can build and maintain rigorous processes in a fast-moving startup environment. This role will work closely with the Controller and Finance leadership, serving as the operational backbone of Motorq's accounting function. The company is looking for someone who takes pride in accurate, timely books, can manage AR and AP smoothly in a growing SaaS company, and can drive a clean month-end close.

Requirements

4+ years of accounting experience, with a meaningful portion of that time spent in an in-house, operating accounting role at a company (not exclusively in public accounting, audit, or advisory).
Solid command of GAAP and its application to SaaS business models — including revenue recognition (ASC 606), deferred revenue, and subscription billing.
Demonstrated experience owning AR, AP, and the month-end/quarter-end close process.
Proficiency with accounting software (QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or similar) and strong Excel skills.
Experience at a SaaS, technology, or high-growth startup company is strongly preferred.
Experience supporting external audits and working with auditors is valued.

Nice To Haves

CPA license or progress toward CPA is a plus, but not required.

Responsibilities

Own accounts receivable end to end — invoicing customers accurately and on time, tracking collections, managing aging reports, following up on outstanding balances, and resolving disputes with professionalism.
Manage accounts payable — processing vendor invoices, maintaining payment schedules, reconciling vendor statements, and ensuring timely and accurate disbursements.
Lead the monthly and quarterly accounting close process — preparing and posting journal entries, reconciling balance sheet accounts, and ensuring all close tasks are completed accurately and on schedule.
Prepare and maintain supporting schedules for accruals, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, and deferred revenue in accordance with GAAP.
Reconcile bank accounts and credit card statements monthly, identifying and resolving discrepancies promptly.
Support the Controller in the preparation of monthly financial statements and management reporting packages.
Maintain and improve accounting processes and internal controls — identifying opportunities to automate, streamline, or tighten controls as the company grows.
Coordinate with external auditors and tax advisors during annual audits and tax preparation — preparing requested schedules, responding to inquiries, and ensuring documentation is complete and well-organized.
Work cross-functionally with Sales, Legal, and Customer Success to ensure revenue recognition is applied correctly and customer contracts are reflected accurately in the books.
Support ad hoc financial analysis, reporting, and special projects as assigned by the Controller or Finance leadership.
