Summary Generated by Built In

As we continue to scale, we're looking for an exceptional Accounting Manager to lead our day-to-day accounting operations and help modernize the financial infrastructure that supports a high-growth robotics company.

This is more than a traditional accounting role. You'll lead a small but capable accounting team, own core accounting operations, partner directly with executive leadership, and identify opportunities to automate and improve our financial processes as we prepare for the next stage of growth.

If you're energized by building systems, solving complex problems, and bringing order to fast-moving environments, we'd love to meet you.

The Role

  • Lead and mentor Miso's accounting team - which includes managing relationships with Miso’s audit, tax, and legal partners - establishing a culture of accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement.
  • Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes, ensuring timely and accurate financial reporting.
  • Oversee expense management at Miso, including payroll review, credit card and invoice expense approvals, updating budgets, and managing recurring subscriptions.
  • Ensure proper general ledger activity, account reconciliations, journal entries, fixed assets, accruals, and financial statement preparation.
  • Manage tax compliance, sales and use tax filings, annual tax reporting, and external tax advisors.
  • Lead cash planning and forecasting activities to support executive decision-making.
  • Administer employee benefits accounting, including 401(k) and benefit plan reconciliations.
  • Coordinate internal audits and maintain strong internal controls across accounting processes.
  • Support SEC reporting requirements and work closely with external auditors, legal counsel, and finance partners.
  • Identify, implement, and optimize accounting workflows through automation and process improvements.
  • Partner cross-functionally with People Operations, Legal, Operations, and executive leadership on strategic initiatives.

The Successful Candidate

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, with some leadership.
  • Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP, financial reporting, internal controls, and accounting best practices.
  • Experience managing month-end close and preparing financial statements.
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets skills—you should be able to build sophisticated financial models, automate workflows, and comfortably manipulate large datasets.
  • Experience working in modern cloud-based accounting environments.

Desired Multipliers

  • Public company financial reporting and SEC compliance.
  • Venture-backed startup accounting, particularly companies approaching IPO readiness.
  • Manufacturing and hardware with a focus on inventory accounting.
  • Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF), Regulation A+, or other alternative capital formation reporting.
  • NetSuite ERP administration.
  • Carta equity management.
  • Rippling payroll and HRIS.
  • Fidelity 401(k) administration.
  • Accounting process automation, reporting dashboards, and systems integrations.

What We Do

Miso Robotics is building AI-powered automation for commercial kitchens, starting with Flippy, the industry's first fully autonomous fry station robot deployed at commercial scale. If you're an AI or robotics engineer who wants to see your work in action every single day, solving real problems for real people, this is where that happens. We're tackling one of the hardest robotics challenges: unstructured environments. Restaurant kitchens are chaotic, unpredictable, and unforgiving. Orders surge randomly, equipment varies by location, and there's zero tolerance for downtime. Our robots work alongside humans in 350-degree heat, handling multiple tasks simultaneously while adapting in real time. It's computer vision, motion planning, and AI decision-making at the edge, all day, every day. Our tech stack is cutting edge. We use NVIDIA AI for vision and inference, custom motion control algorithms, and machine learning models that continuously improve from real-world data across dozens of live deployments. The impact is immediate and measurable. When a restaurant operator tells us our robot "had their back" during a lunch rush, or a worker says Flippy is their "best friend," that's our mission in action. Beyond Flippy, our Innovation Lab in Pasadena develops next-generation kitchen automation. We're expanding into new stations, new tasks, and new capabilities. The kitchen of the future needs engineers who can build systems that actually work when the stakes are high and the environment is hostile. You'll work with a team that includes product leaders from Amazon and Ring, robotics engineers solving novel manipulation problems, and a CEO who gets that great technology means nothing if it breaks down during dinner rush. We obsess over real-world performance, not lab demos.

Why Work With Us

We're revolutionizing food service with AI robotics that solve real labor challenges. Join us to build cutting-edge technology that's already deployed in major chains, work with a mission-driven team backed by strong funding, and shape the future of an industry ripe for innovation.
