You have:

  • 10+ years experience including controller level roles, preferably in SaaS
  • Current experience building and scaling accounting teams
  • Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP and ASC606; CPA preferred
  • Experience leading in a rapid growth, startup environment, while also understanding and driving towards what’s needed to operate as a public company
  • Desire to roll-up your sleeves, prioritize work, execute plans, and drive deliverables
  • Ability to manage the deployment of new software/accounting systems
  • Proven ability to hire, manage, and mentor high-performing teams
  • Collaborative working style with colleagues across the organization while confident to make and own critical decisions
  • Meticulous attention to detail, highly organized and transparent, and a strong communicator -- able to present finance information clearly and concisely


U.S. base salary range for this role is $200,000 - $230,000 (CA, NY, WA) and  $190,000 - $215,000 (other US locations). Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. As a remote-first company, we strive to consider each candidate's job-related skills, location, experience, relevant education or training to determine individual base salary. Your talent partner will share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.
