We're the all-in-one agentic marketing platform. AI-native from day one. We're not joining a category, we're defining it.

We're looking for a Lead Accountant (US Accounting) who will run the daily and monthly financial processes that keep our company organized. If you want real ownership, move fast, and raise the bar every week, keep reading. If you need a lot of structure handed to you, this probably isn't it. (We say that with love.)

What you'll own

Cash and forecasting

  • Report the daily cash position so leadership always knows where things stand.

  • Run the rolling 13-week cash forecast.

  • Build the rolling financial forecast and keep it current every month.

Revenue, collections, and spend

  • Track revenue and cash inputs from commercial activity.

  • Own AR and collections, so nothing sits unpaid without a reason.

  • Review expenses and spending commitments before they become surprises.

  • Approve and control the payment list.

Close and reporting

  • Run month end close and close the books on time, every time.

  • Put together the monthly management reporting package.

  • Run variance review, explaining what moved against budget and forecast and why.

People, metrics, and compliance

  • Review headcount and payroll monthly.

  • Report MRR, ARR, and retention metrics.

  • Own the tax and filing compliance calendar, so nothing gets missed.

You'll thrive here if...
  • You've spent real time working for US companies, so US accounting is second nature to you.

  • You take ownership like it's your own company's money.

  • You've built real automations and workflows using AI.

  • You see a gap and you move, without waiting to be told.

  • Deadlines don't rattle you. Ambiguity doesn't either.

  • You communicate clearly, especially when things are unclear.

  • You have opinions and you bring them.

  • You can laugh at a chaotic week on Friday and mean it.

What we're looking for
  • 5+ years of accounting experience working directly for US based companies.

  • Demonstrated knowledge of US GAAP. (A CPA license is a bonus)

  • Comfortable in QuickBooks and similar tools.

  • Experience with Ramp, Stripe, or HubSpot is a plus.

  • Hands on experience building or using AI tools in your accounting work. Tell us what you've built.

  • Able to work EST or PST hours

Our Recruitment Process
  1. Initial screening call with our recruitment team.

  2. Technical assessment to showcase your skills.

  3. Interview with our Hiring Managers.

  4. Offer extended.

What working here actually looks like

High expectations. Real ownership. Things change fast and we don't apologize for it. You'll work with smart people who push you, a product that keeps getting better, and a team that's genuinely building something new.

We use AI every day, across every function. That's just how we work.
