  • Identify opportunities for automation and implement process improvements to streamline accounting operations and reduce the close timeline.
  • Review transactional coding for accuracy and consistency across departments and entities.
  • Have a strong understanding of sales tax remittance and filing requirements across multiple jurisdictions, ensuring timely and correct submissions while collaborating with a third-party provider for sales tax compliance.

What You Need

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related field required; CPA certification preferred.
  • 4+ years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 3 years in public accounting or high-growth environments.
  • In-depth knowledge of U.S. GAAP, particularly as it pertains to revenue recognition.
  • Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets; familiarity with Looker and/or SQL is a plus.
  • Hands-on experience with ERP systems; NetSuite highly preferred.
  • Experience working with Stripe, Airbase, and document management platforms like Egnyte is strongly valued.
  • Excellent analytical, communication, and organizational skills.
  • A self-starter with a problem-solving mindset, strong attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.

Why Join Us?

  • Be a foundational member of the accounting team and play a key role in building processes that support our rapid growth.
  • Gain exposure to cross-functional projects and modern financial tools.
  • Work in a collaborative, mission-driven environment that values transparency, ownership, and continuous learning.
