Full Job Description
Position Overview

We're looking for a hands-on, detail-oriented Senior Finance & Accounting Ops Manager to help scale our finance function as we grow. This is a builder's role: you'll own the accounting function end-to-end, partner closely with our outsourced bookkeeping team, and stand up the systems and processes that will carry us through our first audit and beyond.

Reporting directly to the CFO, you'll spend roughly 70% of your time on accounting operations and the monthly close, and 30% on FP&A, treasury, and strategic finance work - including investor and board reporting. This is an individual contributor role today, with the expectation that you'll build and manage a small team as we scale.

This is a great fit for someone a few years out of public accounting who wants ownership, exposure to investors and the executive team, and the chance to build a finance function from the ground up at a fast-moving AI company.

What You'll Do:
Accounting Operations & Close (~70%)
  • Own the monthly close process end-to-end, managing our outsourced bookkeeping partner to deliver timely, accurate financial statements
  • Own revenue recognition under ASC 606 - contract review, performance obligation analysis, deferred revenue, and price allocation for our SaaS contracts
  • Oversee Accounts Payable through Ramp, including vendor management, approvals, and spend controls
  • Manage Accounts Receivable and collections to ensure healthy cash inflows
  • Coordinate payroll and benefits with our HR team and our PEO, including reviewing sales commission calculations before each run
  • Maintain and enforce accounting policies and internal controls in QuickBooks Online
  • Manage SaaS sales tax and nexus compliance (using third party software), including monitoring economic nexus thresholds as we grow into new states and countries
  • Build audit-ready documentation and workpapers to support a future financial statement audit
FP&A, Treasury & Strategic Finance (~30%)
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and scenario planning in partnership with the CFO
  • Manage cash and treasury, including runway modeling and banking relationships
  • Track and analyze SaaS metrics (ARR, NRR, GRR, CAC, magic number, burn multiple) and tie them back to the GL
  • Prepare materials for monthly investor updates and quarterly board reporting
  • Partner with the CFO on ad hoc strategic projects - pricing analysis, unit economics, headcount planning, and fundraising support
Systems & Team Building
  • Evaluate, select, and implement finance tools as we scale beyond our current stack (QuickBooks Online, Ramp, PEO)
  • Document processes and build the playbook for a finance team that can scale with the company
  • Hire and mentor the first members of the accounting team
Who You Are:
  • 4-5 years of total finance/accounting experience
  • 2-3 years at a Big Four firm (KPMG, Deloitte, PwC, EY), ideally in audit
  • 1-2 years of industry experience at a startup (Series A or B preferred)
  • SaaS experience strongly preferred - ideally including hands-on exposure to ASC 606 and SaaS metrics
  • Strong command of accounting fundamentals and the monthly close
  • Comfortable managing outsourced partners and owning outcomes without booking every transaction yourself
  • Self-directed problem solver who can research a technical accounting question, form a view, and drive it to resolution
  • Detail-oriented and organized, with the judgment to know when "good enough" is good enough in a startup environment
  • Excited to build - you see messy processes as opportunities, not obstacles
Nice to Have
  • CPA (active or in progress)
  • Experience implementing or improving finance systems
  • Exposure to equity/cap table administration (Carta)
  • Experience mentoring or managing direct reports
How You Show Up:

What unites us is our values and the passion we share to live by them:
  • We are customer champions. You put users at the center of your thinking, advocate for their needs, and design solutions that make their lives measurably better.
  • We are bold in action. You move with urgency and courage. You're not afraid to challenge convention, take smart risks, and push boundaries in pursuit of meaningful outcomes.
  • We are data-driven and insight-guided. You make thoughtful decisions grounded in evidence. You're curious, analytical, and combine data with intuition to guide strategy and execution.
  • We are stronger together. You bring others along, value diverse perspectives, and contribute to a culture of trust and shared ownership. You believe the best ideas emerge through open dialogue and collective effort.
What We Offer:
  • High impact in a cutting-edge field: be at the vanguard of AI innovation
  • Compensation package: competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and meaningful equity
  • Inclusive culture: a diverse and welcoming environment where everyone's voice is heard
