The Impact You’ll Be Contributing to Moloco:
As an Accounting Manager at Moloco, you will own critical components of our global month-end close and consolidation, ensuring accurate, timely, and well-controlled financials. Your work will strengthen our financial foundation, improve accounting operations, and provide the reliable numbers leadership needs to make fast, confident decisions.
The Opportunity:
- Lead the US entity month-end, quarter-end, and annual close, and support global consolidation, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and clear documentation of journal entries and reconciliations.
- Manage and improve key accrual processes, partnering closely with FP&A, AP, and Payroll to align on assumptions and cut-off.
- Prepare and review flux analyses, close packages, and management reports for leadership, clearly explaining period-over-period movements and key business drivers.
- Support complex accounting areas such as internal-use software, leases, and investment accounting, collaborating with the Controller/Technical Accounting to ensure US GAAP compliance.
- Lead or coordinate financial audits and quarterly reviews, managing PBC lists, responding to requests, and driving high-quality, timely audit deliverables.
- Partner with FinSys and other teams to leverage NetSuite and adjacent tools (e.g., FloQast, Zip, Navan, etc.) to streamline and automate close and reporting processes.
- Document and update accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls, contributing to SOX/public-company readiness and a scalable control environment.
- Mentor and support other accounting team members, reviewing workpapers, sharing best practices, and helping build a high-performing, collaborative team culture.
- Drive continuous improvement projects in Accounting/Finance, from process redesign to system enhancements, with a focus on speed, quality, and control.
- Perform special, ad-hoc projects in Accounting/Finance as requested.
How Do I Know if the Role is Right For Me?
- Experience: You have 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally a mix of public accounting and industry, with exposure to high-growth tech or SaaS and/or pre-IPO or public companies.
- Technical Authority: You hold a CPA license (active or inactive) and possess strong working knowledge of US GAAP.
- Operational Rigor: You’re comfortable owning end-to-end month-end close for multiple entities, including accruals, reconciliations, consolidation and flux analysis, and are comfortable navigating ERP systems (NetSuite strongly preferred) to extract data, build reports, and automate reconciliations.
- Audit Leadership: You have "been there, done that" with auditors—you know how to defend a position, organize a chaotic PBC list, and keep the audit on schedule.
- Navigating Ambiguity: You thrive in environments where processes are still being built. You’re excited by public company readiness—tightening controls, shortening the close, and raising the bar on documentation and audit readiness.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: You enjoy partnering with FP&A, AP, Payroll, FinSys, and business teams, explaining accounting outcomes in plain language and working together to fix process gaps.
- Location: You are located in the Bay Area and excited to collaborate in-person at our Menlo Park office on a hybrid schedule.
