Lead Accountant

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About Hologram" then "Lead Accountant About This Role". We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading only if content exists. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info. We need sections: About the role (maybe from "About This Role" paragraph). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements/Qualifications/Skills maybe combine? The instruction: use headings for those categories if content exists. We can have "Requirements" and "Qualifications" maybe separate but we can combine if overlapping. Better to have "Requirements" for experience, "Skills" for technical skills, "Qualifications" maybe for education? Not present. We'll decide. Pay: we have compensation: $125,000 – $145,000 base salary + 12,750 RSUs. So include Pay section. Benefits: there is a "Benefits and Perks" paragraph. So Benefits section. Schedule: not mentioned (remote-first, but no schedule). So omit Schedule. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to turn responsibilities into list items. Also requirements maybe list. Benefits list. We must not invent or summarize away detail. Preserve all substantive info. Let's extract: About the role: The paragraph after "Lead Accountant About This Role": "The Lead Accountant owns the execution layer of Hologram's accounting function: the monthly close, balance sheet reconciliations, revenue recognition support under ASC 606, and the full corporate compliance calendar. Reporting to the Associate Controller, you'll run recurring close and reconciliation workstreams end-to-end with light oversight, not close supervision. You'll also own billing, collections, and daily cash across Stripe, Shopify, wire, and ACH for a usage-based business." That's substantive. Responsibilities: The "What You'll Do" section with subsections: Close and reporting, Corporate compliance, Billing, AR, and cash, Process and systems. We need to list each bullet as list items? The instruction: use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can create a
    with each duty as
    • . Should we keep subheadings inside? Probably not; just list items. Let's extract each duty: Close and reporting: - Run the monthly close: journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, and GAAP financial statements, reviewed and signed off by the Associate Controller - Prepare revenue recognition support under ASC 606 across usage, hardware, and prepaid billing, and surface exceptions early - Prepare supporting schedules for the annual audit, corporate tax filings, and diligence requests, and manage the auditor request cycle - Prepare and file annual 1099s Corporate compliance: - Own the compliance calendar end to end, and build it into a system with named owners, real deadlines, and alerting - Manage Secretary of State annual reports, franchise tax, and local business licenses in partnership with our registered agent - Intake, log, and resolve state and local tax notices, including direct contact with agencies - Coordinate annual business insurance renewals with our broker and issue certificates of insurance to customers, vendors, and lessors - Complete statutory annual filings and surveys - Run point in yearly external audit - Document the work as you go, so every recurring obligation has a runbook someone else could follow Billing, AR, and cash: - Own collections end to end: AR aging, dunning, billing contact follow-up, and at-risk account escalation - Generate customer invoices across Stripe and Shopify, and manage billing schedules, credit memos, and billing adjustments - Manage prepaid top-ups, renewals, and prepaid-to-postpaid conversions - Execute daily cash application and bank reconciliation, and reconcile payments across Stripe, wire, and ACH - Process and route AP invoices, chase missing vendor invoices ahead of close, and keep vendor and customer billing records current - Resolve complex multi-team billing disputes and triage finance tickets in HelpScout and Linear within a 24-hour SLA Process and systems: - Find the manual work that shouldn't be manual and fix it, using the tools available and AI where it fits - Support the NetSuite implementation and ongoing optimization Requirements: The "What We're Looking For" bullet list: - 6+ years of progressive accounting experience - Experience owning full-cycle month-end close - Strong understanding of GAAP, with hands-on experience in revenue recognition, leases, and credit losses - Experience in a startup or high-growth environment where you built processes rather than inherited them - Comfortable owning a wide range of work rather than one narrow lane - Revenue recognition experience (ASC 606) in a usage-based or multi-element billing environment - Multi-state compliance experience: Secretary of State filings, franchise tax, and state and local tax notices - Experience supporting an external financial statement audit as a preparer - Experience making accounting processes faster and more reliable through automation and AI, without compromising controls or accuracy - Produces work that holds up without rework, catching your own errors before they reach review - Advanced Excel and comfort learning new systems quickly Bonus Points (maybe treat as additional qualifications/skills): - Collections or billing experience at a SaaS or usage-based company - ERP implementation or migration experience (NetSuite preferred) - Experience standing up a compliance calendar or corporate compliance function We could put these under Requirements (or Qualifications). Since we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings possible, we could put core requirements under Requirements, and bonus under Qualifications or Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Maybe combine all into Requirements and list bonus as part of same list? But they are separate bullet points; we could still list them all under Requirements. That's fine. Skills: maybe we could list technical skills: Advanced Excel, NetSuite, AI tools, etc. But we already have those in requirements. Could create Skills section for things like Advanced Excel, NetSuite, AI, etc. But risk of duplication. Better to have Requirements include experience and skills. The instruction: use headings for those categories if content exists. We can have Requirements and Skills separate if we can delineate. Let's extract skills: Advanced Excel, comfort learning new systems quickly, NetSuite, AI, etc. Could put under Skills. Qualifications: maybe education? Not present. Could omit. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Check each for substantive content. About the role: we have paragraph. Responsibilities: list items as above. Requirements: list items from "What We're Looking For" (core). We'll include all bullet points (including bonus? maybe keep bonus under Skills). Let's separate: core requirements list (first 11 bullets). Bonus points list under Skills. Benefits: from "Benefits and Perks" paragraph: list items. Pay: compensation line. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Ready to apply?" etc. Remove that. Also remove "How we work at Hologram" maybe not needed as it's not a section heading; but it contains culture description. Could be considered part of About the role? Might be considered substantive but not under any heading. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include that info somewhere. Could add to About the role or maybe a separate section like "Culture". But we only allowed headings list; we could add a paragraph under About the role after the role description. That would preserve it. Thus About the role will include both the role description and the "How we work at Hologram" paragraph. Let's extract that paragraph: "We trust you to do what’s best for our product, customers, and team members and empower you to make the right calls without heavy bureaucracy." plus earlier: "Hologram is a fun, upbeat, and remote-first team united by our mission to build a more connected future." We'll include that as prose. Now Benefits: list items from that paragraph: - Competitive compensation: All employees receive equity at hire and given transparent salary and equity formulas across the team - Health & time off: Flexible health coverage (up to 100% employee, 95% dependents), unlimited PTO with 2 weeks mandatory, monthly mental health days, and 14 weeks paid parental leave - Remote work support: $1,000 hiring bonus plus $250/month WFH Stipend (taxable) to help support your home office, productivity, professional development, or coworking expenses. - Financial security: Life and disability insurance fully covered, 401(k) plan (no match), and access to our Professional Development Fund after one year We need to turn each bullet into
    • . The paragraph includes colon after each heading; we can keep as text inside li. Now Pay: "$125,000 – $145,000 base salary + 12,750 RSUs" Now Skills: list bonus points: - Collections or billing experience at a SaaS or usage-based company - ERP implementation or migration experience (NetSuite preferred) - Experience standing up a compliance calendar or corporate compliance function Also maybe include Advanced Excel etc but those are already in requirements. We'll keep skills as bonus. Now Requirements: list core requirements (first 11 bullets). Let's list them exactly. Now ensure we don't include any fluff like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now produce HTML:

      Make sure no extra whitespace? It's fine. Now craft the About the role paragraph: combine role description and culture. Role description: "The Lead Accountant owns the execution layer of Hologram's accounting function: the monthly close, balance sheet reconciliations, revenue recognition support under ASC 606, and the full corporate compliance calendar. Reporting to the Associate Controller, you'll run recurring close and reconciliation workstreams end-to-end with light oversight, not close supervision. You'll also own billing, collections, and daily cash across Stripe, Shopify, wire, and ACH for a usage-based business." Culture: "Hologram is a fun, upbeat, and remote-first team united by our mission to build a more connected future. We trust you to do what’s best for our product, customers, and team members and empower you to make the right calls without heavy bureaucracy." Combine into one or two paragraphs. We'll make one paragraph with both sentences. Now Responsibilities list items: need to ensure we captured all. Let's list them precisely: Close and reporting: - Run the monthly close: journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, and GAAP financial statements, reviewed and signed off by the Associate Controller - Prepare revenue recognition support under ASC 606 across usage, hardware, and prepaid billing, and surface exceptions early - Prepare supporting schedules for the annual audit, corporate tax filings, and diligence requests, and manage the auditor request cycle - Prepare and file annual 1099s Corporate compliance: - Own the compliance calendar end to end, and build it into a system with named owners, real deadlines, and alerting - Manage Secretary of State annual reports, franchise tax,
