By bringing together bright, motivated creators, wherever they live and work, we are leveraging humanity’s diversity of experience and background in order to understand the challenges facing our food supply, and solve them together. Come join us, and help build the type of business you’d like to be a part of.

This is an evolving role, that will report directly to the VP Controller, with ample opportunity for growth if you play to your strengths. Whether you are coming from a startup or corporate background, you appreciate how much impact there is to be had in smaller organizations and you relish the ability to shape your own role and the future of the company. We need someone who  can not only manage the accounting function of a growing, constantly changing SaaS business, but also lay the groundwork for future success of the function through the implementation of new policies, procedures and controls.

Crisp’s Director of Accounting will…

• Manage the overall accounting function, including AR, AP, payroll, treasury, and the monthly/annual close and financial reporting process.
• Possess a strong working knowledge of GAAP, gained through experience in public and private accounting, preferably with a VC-backed, growth-stage company.
• Ensure compliance with technical accounting standards, including revenue recognition (ASC 606), capitalized software (ASC 350), lease accounting (ASC 842), and equity compensation (ASC 718).
• Develop and implement policies, procedures, and controls that reduce risk and enhance the efficiency of the accounting function and Crisp’s operations.
• Continually improve Crisp’s accounting operations by supporting new clients, products, pricing structures, and markets as the company scales.
• Partner with Product and Engineering to properly assess and account for capitalized software costs.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders and leaders, such as Finance (FP&A) for forecasting, Sales for invoicing accuracy, and Customer Success for revenue-related adjustments.
• Liaise with external service providers, including tax advisors, lenders, attorneys, and technical accountants.
• Perform consolidated financial reporting for our international subsidiaries, ensuring compliance with local statutory requirements.
• Assist in managing the treasury function by overseeing bank accounts, subsidiary funding, foreign currency exposure, and vendor/employee payments.
• Oversee and optimize the Accounting technology stack, ensuring it scales with our growing international SaaS business.
• Support regulatory filings, tax compliance, and entity registrations/renewals across multiple jurisdictions.
• Assist Corporate Development by providing financial diligence for acquisitions.
• Manage post-acquisition accounting integration, including customer billing, vendor transitions, working capital management, and alignment with Crisp’s technical accounting policies.

A great candidate will have:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Accounting. CPA required.
• 7+ years of relevant experience, with a mix of Big 4/public accounting and private industry experience preferred.
• Experience using NetSuite, Salesforce, and financial reporting tools.
• Strong project management skills, with the ability to multitask, prioritize, and operate effectively in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
• Ability to communicate and present financial information to senior leadership and external stakeholders.

Signs of a great candidate for Crisp:

• Collaborative. You know that your colleagues’ perspectives will make our customers successful. Similarly, you use your strengths to help us grow together. You propose ways for us to be more engaged and successful with our customers.
• Customer focused. Our customers are at the forefront of your day.  You prioritize our customers’ voice to ensure their needs are met. 
• Ambitious, curious, and resourceful. You are innately curious, and you aren’t afraid to work hard. You are self driven, you take direction well but are able to be creative to find results on your own when asked. You are driven to succeed because your hard work and results make you proud.
• Disciplined and reliable. We are a distributed company and you enjoy the benefits of working distributed while consistently delivering what you have committed to. When you hit a snag, you communicate and reset expectations early.
• Appreciative of honest feedback. You know that the best way to learn and grow is through constructive feedback delivered kindly. You view feedback given to you as an opportunity to get better and strive to do the same for others.
• Work smarter and harder. You often identify a problem, create a solution and bring it to a state of completion - with others, or even on your own.  You find ways of eliminating or automating stuff that is uninteresting or wasteful.

We believe in transparency, diversity, merit and fostering a culture of empowerment, personal impact and career growth.  We are building a team with a breadth of combined experiences so that we can collaboratively enable our customers to be successful. We’re looking for candidates that are capable, reliable, and hoping to grow along with us. Do you have strengths you can share? If so, we’d love to hear from you!
