• Design and implement scalable internal controls, including segregation of duties, approval matrices, and review procedures.

• Prepare journal entries, accruals, prepaids, and deferred revenue schedules, and perform balance sheet and bank reconciliations.
• Manage accounts payable and receivable, including vendor onboarding, bill pay, invoicing, and collections.
• Maintain the chart of accounts, fixed asset register, and payroll accounting.
• Administer Ramp, including card policies, approval workflows, and a clean, correctly coded sync to the general ledger.

• Coordinate with outside advisors on income and sales tax, 1099s, R&D credits, state filings, and 409A valuations.
• Prepare the company for its first financial statement audit and evaluate finance systems as we scale.
Requirements
• 6+ years of accounting experience, including time as a Controller or Assistant Controller.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA strongly preferred.
• Strong knowledge of US GAAP, including ASC 606 and ASC 842.
• Proven track record of building close processes and internal controls.
• Hands-on experience with Ramp or a similar spend platform, and Sage Intacct or a comparable GL.

• Public accounting experience followed by time at a high-growth startup a plus.
• Experience leading a first audit or an ERP migration helpful.
• Exposure to SaaS metrics, multi-entity accounting, or multi-state tax.
Benefits
• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance to keep you covered.
• A 401(k) plan with employer contributions to invest in your future.
• A flat start up environment where your ideas matter, and innovation thrives.
• The opportunity to shape the future of a rapidly growing and well-funded company and make your mark.
