About The Position

Netomi is looking for a strong operator to build and lead the accounting function at a critical stage of scale. This person will own the close, elevate the company from lightweight cash-based processes toward disciplined accrual accounting, improve controls, and create a finance operating backbone that management and investors can trust.
This is not a maintenance role. The right candidate is hands-on, systems-minded, comfortable with ambiguity, and excited to build clean processes in a fast-moving enterprise AI environment.

Requirements

• 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally across a mix of public accounting and high-growth SaaS or enterprise software environments.
• Strong command of U.S. GAAP, monthly close, revenue recognition, and internal controls.
• Experience building or upgrading accounting processes in a company that moved from scrappy to more institutional.
• Comfort working directly with finance leadership, founders, and cross-functional business partners.
• Strong systems orientation; experience with NetSuite, QuickBooks, or comparable ERP tools, plus spend tools such as Ramp, Brex, or Expensify.
• Hands-on mindset with sound judgment and strong attention to detail.
• CPA strongly preferred.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with enterprise contracts, consumption or usage-based pricing, or complex invoicing environments.
• Exposure to AI, software infrastructure, cloud cost allocation, or revenue operations.
• Experience preparing a company for financing, audit, or major diligence processes.

Responsibilities

• Own monthly, quarterly, and annual close, including journal entries, reconciliations, financial statement preparation, and close calendar management.
• Lead the transition toward GAAP-like accrual accounting and stronger revenue recognition practices.
• Design and document accounting policies across revenue, accruals, prepaid expenses, commissions, software capitalization, and reserves as needed.
• Partner with Finance, Sales, Legal, and Operations to ensure customer contracts are reflected correctly in invoicing and accounting treatment.
• Build reliable AR, AP, expense reimbursement, and vendor payment workflows with clear controls and approval paths.
• Improve audit readiness, support tax and compliance workstreams, and coordinate with external accountants, auditors, and advisors.
• Evaluate and improve systems, including ERP/accounting stack, spend management tools, and close tooling.
• Hire, coach, and manage future accounting team members over time.
