Partner with FP&A on accurate source data, reporting structure, and operational handoffs.
Improve visibility into spend, payroll, and vendor costs through well-designed processes.
Own revenue recognition, ASC 606 compliance, and deferred revenue schedules.
Partner closely with Sales, RevOps, Onboarding, and Engineering to ensure clean pipeline data and eliminate systemic Q2C issues.

Stand up new foreign entities (EU, UK, Canada, etc.): accounting, statutory reporting, tax registrations, banking, and payroll.
Design intercompany agreements, cost-sharing arrangements, and transfer pricing.
Manage multi-currency accounting and ASC 830 compliance.
Build scalable playbooks as we enter additional markets.
Lead planning and execution for our ERP migration, including chart of accounts redesign, data migration, integrations, and parallel close.
Own financial data integrity across Salesforce, Stripe, tax/usage systems, and the ERP.
Build the automation roadmap to replace manual work with scalable systems and workflows.
Evaluate future systems needs as the company grows 3–5x.
Serve as the primary contact for our first audit.
Build and maintain tie-outs, memos, documentation, and support schedules.
Evaluate new technical accounting topics as the business and product evolve.
Establish and maintain financial policies including capitalization, impairment, expense recognition, and stock compensation.
Oversee AP, payroll, procurement workflows, vendor onboarding, and spend controls.
Improve operational processes across Finance, Sales Ops, People Ops, Engineering, and Legal.
Build and mentor an accounting team as we scale.

What We're Looking For

7+ years of progressive accounting experience with significant ownership of month-end close.
Experience in a high-growth SaaS company, or similarly fast-moving and complex environment.
Strong grounding in ASC 606 and revenue operations.
Experience with multi-entity, multi-currency accounting and technical topics (ASC 830, intercompany, transfer pricing).
Hands-on experience with an ERP (QBO, NetSuite, Rillet, Campfire preferred) and financial systems integrations.
Ability to work cross-functionally and influence without formal authority.
Excellent communicator with a bias for clarity, ownership, and operational rigor.
CPA strongly preferred (or equivalent depth in technical accounting).

Nice to Have

Prior experience as a Controller, Senior Assistant Controller, or similar role in a venture-backed startup.
Experience leading ERP migrations (NetSuite, Sage Intacct, etc.).
Strong Salesforce/Stripe/RevOps familiarity (billing, routing, custom fields, integrations).
Background in payments, compliance, or tax-adjacent systems.
Experience supporting investor reporting, audits, due diligence, or product launches.
