  • Support audit processes and compliance with GAAP and other regulatory requirements
  • Drive expense reduction initiatives through detailed financial analysis, budget variance review, and process improvements across departments to improve cost discipline and forecast accuracy.
  • Prepare ad-hoc financial reports and models as needed

What You'll Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA preferred
  • 7+ years of progressive experience in financial management, with at least 3 years in a leadership role 
  • Experience in a high-growth startup environment
  • Self-starter with the ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
  • Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication and presentation skills
  • Strong understanding of GAAP and financial reporting requirements
  • Strong understanding of financial planning and analysis (FP&A)

  • Proficient in Excel/Google Sheets, NetSuite and financial tools (bill.com, expensify, etc.)

What Makes You a Strong Candidate

  • CPA or MBA 
  • Experience developing and growing a team
  • Passionate about making an impact

Benefits

• 100% covered medical, dental, and vision for the employee (partner, children, or family is additional)
• Commuter Benefits
