About The Role
We are looking for a sharp, self-directed Accounting Manager to join our Finance & Accounting team on a full-time, permanent basis. In this role, you will own the day-to-day accounting function end-to-end — from close sequencing and balance sheet integrity to process improvement and systems optimization. You will operate with a high degree of independence, and will be a critical force multiplier for a lean, automation-first accounting team.
This is not a role for someone who needs direction on what to do next. It's a role for someone who sees what needs to happen, makes it happen, and makes it better along the way.
This is a hybrid role out of our San Francisco office — currently three days per week, with the expectation that in-office time may evolve.
The Day to Day
Own and manage the monthly close process end-to-end, including sequencing, prioritization, and on-time delivery
Leverage AI tools responsibly to improve efficiency, accelerate close activities, and reduce manual effort — staying current on emerging tools relevant to accounting and finance
Prepare and review journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting workpapers across all balance sheet accounts
Maintain balance sheet integrity — proactively identify and resolve discrepancies before they become close issues
Own prepaid expense schedules, fixed asset register, accruals, and other recurring close activities
Oversee accounts payable operations, including invoice processing, vendor management, payment runs, and coding accuracy
Manage cash recording and reconciliation across operating and ancillary accounts.
Partner on revenue recognition processes and support automation
Drive process documentation — identify gaps, build repeatable workflows, and leave things better than you found them
Support systems implementation work, including ongoing ERP buildout and optimization
Identify opportunities to automate manual processes and reduce close cycle time
Serve as a key internal resource for finance and cross-functional partners on accounting questions and vendor matter
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
6+ years of progressive accounting experience, including ownership of month-end close
Strong working knowledge of US GAAP
Demonstrated ability to operate independently and manage competing priorities and drive work forward without significant oversight
Experience with ERP systems; experience supporting or leading an ERP implementation required
Proficiency in Excel and/or Google Sheets, with comfort working in data-driven workflows
Strong written and verbal communication skills — comfortable working cross-functionally with both finance and non-finance stakeholders
High attention to detail with a preventative, not reactive, approach to accounting operations
Comfort operating in a lean, fast-moving environment where ambiguity is normal and resourcefulness is essential
Nice-to-haves
CPA
Big 4 or large regional public accounting experience
Experience in a SaaS or technology company environment
Familiarity with Bill.com, Expensify, or Stripe, or other similar AP and expense tools
Exposure to revenue recognition under ASC 606
Familiarity with close acceleration methodologies or experience driving a sub-3-day close

Regular in-person events events to connect and collaborate
