Senior Accountant
About The Position

You'll report directly to the VP of Finance and will play a foundational role in establishing scalable processes, driving a clean and timely monthly close, and leading our external audit. As we grow, this role has a clear path to managing a team of Staff Accountants and Billing Specialists — making it a great opportunity for someone ready to grow into a people-management role while staying close to the numbers.

- Experience leading or heavily supporting a financial statement audit (managing auditor relationships and requests).
- Strong understanding of GAAP and technical accounting fundamentals.
- Excellent organizational skills and comfort operating in a fast-paced environment while improving processes and procedures.
- Experience with hardware and fixed asset schedules.
- High attention to detail.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally with Sales, Customer Success, and Engineering teams.
- Excellent analytical skills, used to solving problems in Excel with large data sets.
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with Ramp or similar expense management platforms.
- Familiarity with Stripe or similar billing/payment processing platforms.
- Experience with sales tax automation software such as Avalara, Anrok, or Numeral.
- CPA or CPA candidate.
- Experience with a SaaS or subscription-based revenue model.
- Prior experience managing or mentoring junior accounting staff.
- Some FP&A experience, supporting management with various analytical projects.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end accounting function, including general ledger management, accounts payable, accounts receivable, accruals and invoicing.
- Lead and manage the monthly close process end-to-end, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
- Prepare and review journal entries, account and bank reconciliations, and update supporting schedules in accordance with GAAP.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for our annual financial statement audit, managing auditor requests and ensuring a smooth, well-organized process.
- Maintain and continuously improve our accounting policies and internal controls as the business grows.
- Manage day-to-day bookkeeping in QuickBooks Online.
- Partner with the VP of Finance on technical accounting matters (revenue recognition, equity/stock-based compensation, capitalization and amortization, etc.).
- Support sales tax compliance and help evaluate/implement automation tools as our footprint expands.
- Help design and implement scalable processes and systems to support continued rapid growth.
