Summary
We are looking for a highly technical, hands-on Senior Accounting Manager to own the core accounting infrastructure of a growing, global, post-Series B company.
This person will lead the company through a rigorous GAAP close, consolidation, revenue recognition, reporting, audit, payroll partnership, finance administration, and accounting systems environment. The role requires someone who can operate at both the technical and operational level: able to work through complex accounting questions, improve financial systems, develop a strong team, and continuously increase the leverage of the finance organization through automation, AI, clear standards, and scalable processes.
We intentionally operate with a lean finance organization. Success in this role will not come from adding layers or headcount. It will come from building better operators, stronger systems, cleaner processes, and a finance function that can scale significantly without becoming unnecessarily complex. This is ideal for a high-potential manager who aspires to learn, lead, and grow their career into a future finance leader.
What You’ll Be Doing
Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, driving a disciplined, accurate, and increasingly efficient GAAP close process
Lead global consolidation across multiple legal entities, currencies, and jurisdictions, including intercompany accounting and eliminations
Own advanced and technical accounting matters, including revenue recognition, complex transactions, accounting policy, and GAAP interpretation
Own preparation and review of internal and external financial reporting, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and timely delivery
Lead the evolution of the company’s accounting systems, integrations, and financial data architecture, reducing manual processes and improving control and visibility
Partner closely with People Operations on global payroll, ensuring accurate accounting, reconciliations, controls, and coordination across payroll providers and entities
Oversee core finance administration, including banking, treasury administration, entity support, expense and vendor processes, accounting documentation, and related operational workflows
Lead the company’s external financial statement audit, managing audit readiness, supporting schedules, technical accounting documentation, and auditor relationships
Establish and maintain accounting policies, procedures, controls, and documentation appropriate for a growing global organization
Partner with business leaders to ensure financial reporting accurately reflects business performance and supports decision-making
Proactively identify financial, accounting, systems, and process risks and resolve issues before they create downstream problems
Lead a deliberately lean finance organization, developing direct reports into stronger operators and increasing team capability through systems, automation, standards, and clear ownership rather than relying primarily on additional headcount
We’ll be excited if you have
