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

Job Perks

• Hybrid work with an office in San Francisco, CA
• Regular in-person events events to connect and collaborate
• Competitive salary & equity 
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and families
• Flexible Time Off
• Company-paid parental, medical and caregiver leave
• Other perks including mental health resources and tech reimbursements
