HybridManagement$75/hrFull-time

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

  • Own the monthly close process end-to-end, managing our outsourced bookkeeping partner to deliver timely, accurate financial statements
  • Revenue recognition under ASC 606 - contract review, performance obligation analysis, deferred revenue, and price allocation for our SaaS contracts
  • 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
  • Manage SaaS sales tax and nexus compliance (using third party software), including monitoring economic nexus thresholds as we grow into new states and countries
  • 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

    What We Offer

    • High impact in a cutting-edge field: be at the vanguard of AI innovation
    • Compensation package: competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and meaningful equity
    • Inclusive culture: a diverse and welcoming environment where everyone's voice is heard
