Position Overview:

As an Accounting Manager, you'll join a growing team intent on building a world class function! As the Company scales, we strive to be a step ahead, implementing processes and tools, and diving deep into details. You will be responsible for a mix of traditional duties, from ownership of certain headcount related expense line items, to oversight of our very healthy cash accounts, and most interestingly, management of the accounting for our growing list of international entities.

Your ownership will be end to end, including (but not limited to): ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of all transactional processing and related reconciliations, working closely with outsourced service providers to ensure a timely and accurate month end close process across all of our subsidiaries, and interacting with our external auditors (Big 4) as necessary. You will work closely to help define related policies and procedures, develop internal controls, influence future systems/tool selection and configuration, and work closely with the FP&A team to align budgets with actual results.

This is an individual contributor role, with the possibility for direct resources as the team grows with the business. The Accounting Manager will report to our Senior Manager, Accounting (who owns the GL and close).

This is a very key and foundational addition to our growing Accounting team. Leverage your prior experiences and build things the right way in a very fast paced growth-phase SaaS startup!
