Key Responsibilities

• Drive the monthly close process, ensuring all financials are accurate, supported, and ready for executive review.
• Maintain the health of the balance sheet through comprehensive monthly reconciliations and the timely resolution of any open items.
• Manage the end-to-end sales tax process, ensuring accurate registration, reporting, and remittance.
• Oversee revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606 standards, providing clear evidence for all revenue and cash-related accounts.
• Facilitate seamless financial transitions for new acquisitions, developing and executing integration plans within defined timeframes.
• Ensure constant audit and lender readiness by delivering high-quality documentation and maintaining processes that result in zero repeat findings.
• Implement at least two measurable process improvements every six months to enhance automation, standardization, and reporting speed.
• Provide clear, plain-language financial guidance to cross-functional partners in Operations, Legal, and People teams to resolve inquiries efficiently.

Requirements

• 3–6 years of progressive accounting experience, specifically focused on owning the month-end close process in a fast-paced environment.
• Proven expertise in GAAP fundamentals, accrual accounting, and managing complex balance sheet reconciliations.
• Demonstrated experience managing sales tax compliance and reporting requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
• Strong technical proficiency in QuickBooks or similar accounting systems, with the ability to adapt quickly to new ERP tools.
• Advanced Excel and Google Sheets skills, including the ability to build structured models, pivot tables, and robust error-checking functions.
• Experience supporting external audits or formal financial reviews with clean work-papers and organized documentation.
• A track record of taking end-to-end ownership of projects, including setting clear timelines and delivering results with minimal supervision.
• Commitment to operational excellence through the regular creation and maintenance of standard operating procedures (SOPs).

Skills and Knowledge

• Familiarity with SaaS or service-based business models, including multi-entity and deferred revenue concepts.
• Experience with ERP implementation or the automation of manual accounting workflows.
• Ability to translate complex financial data into actionable insights for non-finance stakeholders.
• Knowledge of internal control frameworks and the maintenance of rigorous documentation for segregation of duties.
