About The Position

AppDirect is seeking a detail-oriented Senior Accountant who thrives in a fast-moving environment where accuracy and timeliness are paramount. This role requires solid US GAAP knowledge for tasks ranging from journal entries to financial statement preparation, and the ability to navigate complex technical accounting questions with well-documented conclusions. The ideal candidate will have experience in both public accounting and private industry, understanding the rigor of audits and the pace of a growing tech company. Strong communication skills are essential for translating financial insights to inform business decisions across teams. The role also involves taking pride in building robust processes, reconciliations, and mentoring junior colleagues.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
• 3+ years of experience spanning Big 4 public accounting and private industry
• Solid working knowledge of US GAAP, including technical research and documentation
• Advanced Excel skills for financial modeling, reconciliations, and reporting
• Strong written and verbal communication skills — you'll regularly present financial findings to non-finance stakeholders, so the ability to make complex information accessible is essential
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines with minimal supervision — this role carries real ownership across several workstreams simultaneously

Nice To Haves

• CPA designation is a strong asset
• NetSuite ERP experience is a plus

Responsibilities

• Own the full month-end and year-end close cycle, including journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, and variance analysis, working within a defined close calendar shared across the finance team.
• Manage accounting for commissions, financing leases, internally developed software, accruals, and prepaids — ensuring each area is documented and compliant with US GAAP.
• Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial analytics and support the preparation of US GAAP financial statements reviewed by senior leadership.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to provide financial insights that inform business decisions — you'll be a go-to resource, not just a back-office function.
• Research and document technical accounting matters, delivering clear memos that capture the issue, analysis, and resolution.
• Support external audits and due diligence requests, coordinating responses and ensuring documentation is audit-ready.
• Contribute to the implementation and improvement of accounting systems and tools, with a focus on scalability as the business grows.
• Mentor junior accounting staff, helping them build skills and confidence in their day-to-day work.
