The OpportunityWe're hiring an Assistant Controller to own day-to-day accounting operations and monthly close for our SaaS business, with guidance from a fractional finance leader. You'll manage AP/AR, maintain GAAP-accurate financials in QuickBooks, and oversee revenue recognition by partnering with our rev-rec automation vendors - ensuring Stripe billing activity is correctly reflected in revenue, deferred revenue, and cash.
This is a hands-on role focused on building clean, repeatable processes, improving reporting and forecasting visibility, and strengthening controls as we scale - a career-defining opportunity to build a world-class finance backbone and grow your scope and seniority alongside the company.
What You'll Own- Accounting & close. Own monthly, quarterly, and year-end close - journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and financial statement preparation - and maintain accurate GAAP financials (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) and supporting schedules.
- AP/AR operations. Run Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable end-to-end, including vendor onboarding, approvals, payment runs, invoicing, collections, and aging management.
- Stripe, billing, and data integrity. Maintain a strong operational understanding of Stripe activity and ensure it flows correctly into accounting systems and reconciles cleanly during close.
- Revenue recognition (SaaS / ASC 606). Own revenue recognition, including performance obligation assessment and treatment of discounts and multi-year agreements, while managing rev-rec automation tools and vendors and reviewing outputs for accuracy.
- Reporting & forecasting. Build forecasting models and reporting rhythms that give leadership clear visibility into cash, runway, and operating performance, with variance explanations rather than just numbers.
- Controls & compliance. Build and improve internal controls, approval workflows, and accounting policies as the company grows, and coordinate with external partners (CPA firm, tax, payroll, audit support) to stay audit-ready.
What We're Looking For- Builder's Mindset. You thrive in fast-moving environments and like building structure out of chaos.
- Dual Fluency. You're equally comfortable in Stripe billing flows as you are explaining GAAP outcomes to leadership.
- Obsessive About Clean Data. You default to "what's the source of truth?" and "how do we make this auditable?"
- Systems Thinking. You build processes that reduce surprises - clean close, clear revenue schedules, predictable cash visibility.
- High Ownership. You're hands-on and want to grow your scope as the organization scales.
Required Qualifications- 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally in SaaS or recurring-revenue businesses.
- Deep understanding of GAAP-based accounting for SaaS, including revenue recognition (ASC 606).
- Direct ownership of AP and AR operations, including invoicing, collections, and vendor management.
- Strong working knowledge of Stripe (payments, refunds, disputes, fees, payouts) and how it ties to financial reporting.
- Strong QuickBooks experience (QuickBooks Online preferred) with full GL ownership.
- Experience managing revenue recognition automation tools/vendors and validating outputs for accuracy.
- Strong forecasting skills, including cash forecasting and burn/runway visibility.
- Advanced Excel and Google Sheets capabilities (models, schedules, reconciliations, roll-forwards).
Preferred Qualifications- CPA and/or public accounting background.
- Experience improving or implementing billing and finance automation workflows.
- Experience preparing for or supporting audits, SOC 2 evidence requests, and enterprise customer financial due diligence.
- Experience scaling finance at a high-growth startup (e.g., $3M 10 $10M+).
Compensation & BenefitsBase salary: $90,000-$130,000 annually, plus a performance-based bonus. Final compensation will be based on experience, seniority, and fit with the scope of the role.
We offer competitive compensation, performance-based incentives, healthcare coverage, and flexible time off.
