We're looking for a Senior Accountant who wants to help build the financial foundation of a fast-growing SaaS company. The ideal candidate will play a key role in the month-end close, bringing Big 4-caliber rigor to a startup environment, while driving the systems, controls, and processes that will scale with us as we grow.
Key duties, responsibilities, and deliverables:
- Support the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process in partnership with the Controller
- Own journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and supporting schedules
- Oversee AP/AR, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, and general ledger integrity
- Design, implement, and maintain internal controls as the company scales toward audit-readiness
- Lead or support the annual external audit - preparing documentation, schedules, and liaising directly with auditors
- Own multi-state tax compliance and coordinate with external tax advisors on filings when needed
- Drive process improvements and automation, including ERP/accounting system enhancements (e.g., NetSuite, QBO)
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales and Ops on contract terms, billing, and revenue implications
- Take on ad hoc projects and special analyses as the finance function matures
Expertise and qualifications:
- Strong working knowledge of US GAAP, with hands-on ASC 606 revenue recognition experience
- Experience with modern accounting/ERP systems preferred (NetSuite or QuickBooks Online, Ramp, Rippling, or similar); comfort adopting new tools in a fast-changing environment
- Advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills; financial modeling experience a plus
- Demonstrated ability to manage a full close cycle independently, start to finish
- Experience building or improving internal controls and process documentation
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate numbers into business insight
- Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting to non-finance stakeholders and leadership
- High attention to detail balanced with an ability to move fast and prioritize in an ambiguous, high-growth environment
Background and experience:
- 3-5 years of progressive accounting experience
- Big 4 public accounting background strongly preferred (audit or transaction advisory experience valued)
- Prior in-house experience at a SaaS or subscription-based company preferred, particularly with revenue recognition for recurring-revenue models
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA license or active pursuit preferred
- Experience operating in a high-growth or startup environment - comfortable with limited process and building things from scratch
- Track record of working cross-functionally beyond traditional accounting/finance silos
