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 own the daily and monthly financial processes that keep this company organized, and build the structure behind them. We've grown quickly, we're bootstrapped, and finance is scaling to match. If you want real ownership, move fast, and raise the bar every week, keep reading. This is not a maintenance role. Everything here is being built or rebuilt.

What you'll own
  • Month end close

  • Daily cash position reported to leadership.

  • 13 week cash forecast.

  • Expense review, spend commitments, and the payment list.

  • AR and collections.

  • Monthly management reporting package and variance review.

  • Approval matrix and payment SOPs.

  • MRR, ARR, and retention reporting.

  • AI workflows and automations across the function.

  • The tax and filing compliance calendar.

  • Monthly payroll and headcount review.

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

  • You've built workflow or automation with AI to handle a part of your job

  • Working knowledge of US GAAP you can back up with real decisions you've made. (A CPA license is a bonus)

  • You've converted books from cash to accrual, or cleaned up books that weren't GAAP compliant

  • You've owned month end close end to end

  • You've built a cash forecast from scratch, not just maintained someone else's.

  • Strong working proficiency in QuickBooks.

  • You translate finance into plain language for people who don't work in finance.

  • You've rolled out a process to people outside your team and gotten them to use it.

  • You know what to delegate and what to you own hands on

  • Able to work EST or PST hours.

  • Nice to have: SaaS revenue experience, Ramp, Bill.com, Deel, or Stripe.

You'll thrive here if...
  • You'd rather build a process than inherit one.

  • You document as you build, so anyone can pick up your work and run it.

  • You get to the point, in writing and in conversation.

  • You make the call when the information is incomplete, and you can explain your reasoning.

  • You raise concerns directly, including with people more senior than you.

  • You use AI every day and build with it.

  • Deadlines and shifting priorities don't rattle you.

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.
