Position Overview
We're looking for a hands-on, detail-oriented Senior Finance & Accounting Ops Manager to help scale our finance function as we grow. This is a builder's role: you'll own the accounting function end-to-end, partner closely with our outsourced bookkeeping team, and stand up the systems and processes that will carry us through our first audit and beyond.
This is a great fit for someone a few years out of public accounting who wants ownership, exposure to investors and the executive team, and the chance to build a finance function from the ground up at a fast-moving AI company.
What You'll Do
Accounting Operations & Close (~70%)
- Own the monthly close process end-to-end, managing our outsourced bookkeeping partner to deliver timely, accurate financial statements
- Oversee Accounts Payable through Ramp, including vendor management, approvals, and spend controls
- Manage Accounts Receivable and collections to ensure healthy cash inflows
- Cook payroll and benefits with our HR team and our PEO, including reviewing sales commission calculations before each run
- Maintain and enforce accounting policies and internal controls in QuickBooks Online
- Build audit-ready documentation and workpapers to support a future financial statement audit
FP&A, Treasury & Strategic Finance (~30%)
- Support budgeting, forecasting, and scenario planning in partnership with the CFO
- Manage cash and treasury, including runway modeling and banking relationships
- Track and analyze SaaS metrics (ARR, NRR, GRR, CAC, magic number, burn multiple) and tie them back to the GL
- Prepare materials for monthly investor updates and quarterly board reporting
- Partner with the CFO on ad hoc strategic projects — pricing analysis, unit economics, headcount planning, and fundraising support
Who You Are
- 4-5 years of total finance/accounting experience
- 2-3 years at a Big Four firm (KPMG, Deloitte, PwC, EY), ideally in audit
- 1-2 years of industry experience at a startup (Series A or B preferred)
- SaaS experience strongly preferred - ideally including hands-on exposure to ASC 606 and SaaS metrics
- Strong command of accounting fundamentals and the monthly close
- Comfortable managing outsourced partners and owning outcomes without booking every transaction yourself
- Self-directed problem solver who can research a technical accounting question, form a view, and drive it to resolution
- Detail-oriented and organized, with the judgment to know when “good enough” is good enough in a startup environment
- Excited to build - you see messy processes as opportunities, not obstacles
Nice to Have
- CPA (active or in progress)
- Experience implementing or improving finance systems
- Exposure to equity/cap table administration (Carta)
- Experience mentoring or managing direct reports
