About You

You're a detail-oriented Senior accountant who thrives in a fast-moving environment where accuracy and timeliness aren't just goals — they're the standard. You bring solid US GAAP knowledge to everything you do, from journal entries to financial statement preparation, and you're comfortable navigating complex technical accounting questions with clear, well-documented conclusions. You've worked across both public accounting and private industry, which means you understand the rigor of an audit and the pace of a growing tech company. You communicate clearly across teams — because in this role, finance doesn't operate in a silo, and your ability to translate numbers into insights directly shapes how other teams make decisions. You're also someone who takes pride in building things right: whether that's a process, a reconciliation, or a mentorship moment with a junior colleague.

What you'll do and how you'll have an impact

  • Own the full month-end and year-end close cycle, including journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, and variance analysis, working within a defined close calendar shared across the finance team
  • Manage accounting for commissions, financing leases, internally developed software, accruals, and prepaids — ensuring each area is documented and compliant with US GAAP
  • Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial analytics and support the preparation of US GAAP financial statements reviewed by senior leadership
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to provide financial insights that inform business decisions — you'll be a go-to resource, not just a back-office function
  • Research and document technical accounting matters, delivering clear memos that capture the issue, analysis, and resolution
  • Support external audits and due diligence requests, coordinating responses and ensuring documentation is audit-ready
  • Contribute to the implementation and improvement of accounting systems and tools, with a focus on scalability as the business grows
  • Mentor junior accounting staff, helping them build skills and confidence in their day-to-day work

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA designation is a strong asset
  • 3+ years of experience spanning Big 4 public accounting and private industry
  • Solid working knowledge of US GAAP, including technical research and documentation
  • Advanced Excel skills for financial modeling, reconciliations, and reporting
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills — you'll regularly present financial findings to non-finance stakeholders, so the ability to make complex information accessible is essential
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines with minimal supervision — this role carries real ownership across several workstreams simultaneously
  • NetSuite ERP experience is a plus
