Accounting Manager

Overview

Job Description

Responsibilities

• - Get set up in the tools (QBO, Stripe, Bill.com, Brex, Runway, Tax Jar, Sheets/Excel) and learn how data flows between them
• - Review the month-end close calendar, recurring journal entries, key reconciliations, and supporting schedules
• - Take part in GTKYs (Get-To-Know-You) to meet close partners across Operations, and key business units
• - Take ownership of the close process, with support as needed, while improving timelines, handoffs, and overall execution
• - Build and kick off a 90-day transition plan to fully bring accounting in-house, including ownership mapping, close calendar, and cutover milestones
• - Document ''what''s true today'' for close steps, owners, and dependencies (short, practical SOP style)
• - Review the close process end to end, flag the biggest drivers of delay or rework (if any), and lock in improvements across coding, revenue workflows, payouts/refunds, and reconciliations
• - Own and run a repeatable close process that is faster and more predictable, with fewer surprises
• - Improve core schedules (prepaids, accruals, merchant fees, refunds, payouts, key balance sheet accounts) so they are clean and easy to maintain
• - Strengthen revenue workflows across multiple revenue streams (subscriptions plus other product lines), including clearer tagging and reporting paths
• - Complete the transition off our third-party bookkeeping partner (target: within ~90 days) and run the close fully in-house with a stable, repeatable process
• - Accounting operations are stable, documented, and scalable
• - Finance leaders and business partners trust the numbers and can use them confidently
• - Close timing supports a consistent monthly business review cadence
• - Revenue and payout-related workflows are well-documented and reliable across subscriptions and other product lines

Required Skills

• - Month-end close ownership (journal entries, accruals, prepaids, reconciliations, balance sheet integrity)
• - Strong judgment and problem-solving in real-world, messy systems
• - Revenue and cash flow mechanics in subscription and multi-stream environments
• - Process design (building SOPs, controls, and workflows that scale)
• - Clear communication across stakeholders (timelines, trade-offs, and follow-through)
• - 6+ years of accounting experience with meaningful close ownership
• - Experience in SaaS and multi-revenue-stream businesses
• - Experience improving or rebuilding processes (not just operating mature ones)
• - Experience managing and coordinating with external partners
• - Experience with modern finance tooling (QBO, Stripe, Bill.com, Brex, Sheets/Excel)
• - Owner mindset: You see gaps, fix them, and follow through without needing a lot of direction
• - Strong judgment: You know when ''good and consistent'' beats ''perfect but late,'' and when accuracy and controls must win
• - Systems thinker: You spot the root cause (not just the symptom), then improve the workflow so it stays fixed
• - Comfort in ambiguity: You can operate well when the process is evolving, and help make it clearer for everyone else
• - Practical process builder: You like SOPs and checklists that are actually usable, not performative documentation
• - Detail-first, but not stuck: You catch issues early, and you can still keep momentum during close
• - Cross-functional translator: You can explain accounting impacts to non-accountants
