Who You Are - 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally including experience at a high-growth startup or SaaS company. - Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP and experience managing a monthly close. - Experience with revenue recognition and other accounting issues common to subscription software businesses. - A track record of independently researching problems, developing a point of view, and driving issues to resolution. - Strong critical-thinking skills and the ability to identify when a process, transaction, or result does not make sense. - Comfort operating in an environment where processes may still need to be created or improved. - Experience using AI tools in day-to-day work and curiosity about how they can improve accounting operations. - Clear communication skills and the ability to work effectively across teams.
