Accounting Manager

Crux

23h • $125,000 - $165,000 • Remote

About The Position

As Accounting Manager, you will be a true partner to Crux’s Controller in running the accounting function across our multi-entity structure. You will take primary ownership of day-to-day accounting operations — close execution, intercompany, and expense workflows — while partnering with the Controller on review, design decisions, and technical accounting. This role reports to the Controller and partners closely with our CFO and Strategic Finance team. It is a high-ownership role on a small team, with the goal of building a scalable accounting function that can support continued growth, new entities, and increasing transaction volume. You won’t just be executing. You’ll be helping decide how things should work.

Requirements

• 5+ years of accounting experience, including ownership (or co-ownership) of month-end close at a venture-backed or high-growth company
• Multi-entity experience — you have worked across more than one legal entity and understand intercompany mechanics and shared service allocations
• Familiarity with entity-level compliance — annual reports, franchise taxes, property tax, 1099s, state registrations, and the general rhythm of keeping multiple entities in good standing
• Has participated in at least one financial statement audit cycle from the company side (not as the auditor)
• Strong working knowledge of a modern accounting stack: Ramp or a peer spend management tool, a real ERP (Rillet, NetSuite, Sage Intacct), and solid spreadsheet skills
• Strong judgment on accuracy vs. speed — knows what must be right and what must be done
• Able to get the details right (recons, tie-outs) while also improving the underlying process so the same issue doesn’t recur next month
• Willingness to challenge things that aren’t working and help fix them, professionally
• Comfort operating in a dynamic, high-growth environment with evolving priorities
• Strong interest in leveraging technology and AI day to day

Responsibilities

• Partner on the monthly close process across multiple entities — making sure the numbers actually tie (cash, intercompany, and everything else)
• Prepare and review balance sheets and P&Ls, and flag what looks off on your own read
• Investigate variances and resolve reconciling items, especially in cash and intercompany
• Help build and maintain intercompany processes across entities so they stay clean as entity count and volume grow
• Track and reconcile intercompany balances
• Support allocation of shared expenses in a consistent, defensible way
• Own and improve expense coding workflows (Ramp and related tools) and fix inefficiencies as you find them
• Think about how to automate or streamline workflows, balancing what’s realistic with the tools we have today
• Support implementation of better systems and processes over time
• Own the rhythm of entity compliance across all entities — recurring filings like annual reports, franchise taxes, property tax, 1099s, and state registrations — so nothing gets forgotten until it’s late
• Handle one-off items as they come up: new state registrations, entity formations or dissolutions, beneficial ownership filings, and supporting documentation for banks, lenders, and auditors
• Partner with legal and tax when filings require outside input, and keep ownership of items that aren’t on a set calendar yet
• Partner with the Controller on audit preparation and PBC, including pulling schedules, responding to auditor requests, and keeping workpapers organized across entities
• Work with tax and audit partners to make sure deliverables are accurate and timely
• Hold external partners accountable — review their work, catch issues, and push for quality and timeliness

Benefits

• Healthcare: We cover 100% of premiums for employees with a variety of plans on Aetna (nationwide) and Kaiser (WA and California) and subsidize 70% for dependents (total as a group), if relevant.
• Dental & vision: We cover 100% of premiums for employees and 50% for dependents (each), if relevant.
• Holidays: 10 company holidays per year.
• Paid time off: 20 days per year.
• 401k: We support a 401k account but don’t have a matching program set up at this time (typical for an early-stage startup).
• Parental leave: 16 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents.
