Full Job Description
Position: Accounting Manager

Location: San Francisco, CA (Hybrid)

Why We're Hiring This Role:

  • Until now, our accounting function has been handled by an external firm. As we scale, we're making the deliberate decision to bring that work in-house - and this is the first hire that makes it real.
    • This person won't be stepping into a fully built machine; they'll be the one building it.
    • They'll take ownership of processes that have lived outside the company, get them running cleanly on our internal stack, and establish the foundation that our finance function grows on.
    • It's a high-visibility role with direct impact on how the business operates day-to-day, and a real opportunity for the right person to shape something from the ground up.


What You'll Do:

  • 30 Day:
    • Own the end-to-end AP process, including invoice receipt, GL coding, approval routing, and payment execution
    • Review and verify invoices for accuracy, proper authorization, and compliance with company policies
    • Process payment runs (ACH, wire, check) and ensure accurate, on-time cash disbursements
    • Perform three-way matching (PO, receipt, invoice) for purchase-order-backed transactions
    • Ensure transactions are properly coded, receipts are collected, and expenses sync accurately into our ERP
  • 60 Day:
    • Support month-end close by preparing AP accruals, reconciling the AP subledger to the general ledger, and clearing open items
    • Manage vendor relationships, respond to payment inquiries, and resolve discrepancies in a timely manner
    • Administer the corporate card program manage card issuance, spending limits, policy enforcement, and employee expense review
    • Maintain vendor master data, including W-9 collection and annual 1099 preparation and filing
  • 90 Day:
    • Assist in the billing and invoicing process, ensuring customer invoices are accurate and issued on time
    • Collaborate with Sales and Account Management to resolve billing disputes and ensure proper revenue recognition alignment
    • Support cash application activities, including posting customer payments and reconciling unapplied cash
    • Monitor accounts receivable aging and assist with collections outreach as needed
    • Maintain customer account records and assist in the setup of new customer billing profiles
    • Partner with Revenue Operations to ensure quote-to-order-to-invoice workflows are functioning accurately across Salesforce, Stripe, Tabs, and Rillet


Who You Are:

Required:

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
  • 2-4 years of accounting experience with a strong focus on accounts payable
  • Solid understanding of GAAP and general accounting principles
  • Experience with cloud-based ERP or accounting platforms (Rillet experience a strong plus)
  • Familiarity with corporate card and spend management tools
  • High attention to detail and strong organizational skills
  • Ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills


Preferred:

  • CPA candidate or actively pursuing CPA licensure
  • Experience supporting quote-to-cash or order-to-cash processes
  • Experience with Salesforce (CRM) and billing


What We Offer:

  • Real stake: We offer a competitive salary and excellent equity ownership
  • Comprehensive health coverage: medical, dental, and vision plans
  • Team love: We love hanging out, and we do quarterly off-sites
  • Unlimited PTO, with a culture that encourages ~20 days off per year
  • More: catered meals, transportation, gym, and a $10k annual L&D budget


Even if your background doesn't check every box, we'd love to hear from you. Great candidates often bring strengths we didn't know to ask for.
