Responsibilities

Get set up in the tools (QBO, Stripe, Bill.com, Brex, Runway, Tax Jar, Sheets/Excel) and learn how data flows between them

Review the month-end close calendar, recurring journal entries, key reconciliations, and supporting schedules

Take part in GTKYs (Get-To-Know-You) to meet close partners across Operations, and key business units

Take ownership of the close process, with support as needed, while improving timelines, handoffs, and overall execution

Build and kick off a 90-day transition plan to fully bring accounting in-house, including ownership mapping, close calendar, and cutover milestones

Document “what’s true today” for close steps, owners, and dependencies (short, practical SOP style)

Review the close process end to end, flag the biggest drivers of delay or rework (if any), and lock in improvements across coding, revenue workflows, payouts/refunds, and reconciliations

Own and run a repeatable close process that is faster and more predictable, with fewer surprises

Improve core schedules (prepaids, accruals, merchant fees, refunds, payouts, key balance sheet accounts) so they are clean and easy to maintain

Strengthen revenue workflows across multiple revenue streams (subscriptions plus other product lines), including clearer tagging and reporting paths

Complete the transition off our third-party bookkeeping partner (target: within ~90 days) and run the close fully in-house with a stable, repeatable process

Accounting operations are stable, documented, and scalable

Close timing supports a consistent monthly business review cadence

Revenue and payout-related workflows are well-documented and reliable across subscriptions and other product lines

Required

6+ years of accounting experience with meaningful close ownership

Experience in SaaS and multi-revenue-stream businesses

Experience improving or rebuilding processes (not just operating mature ones)

Experience managing and coordinating with external partners

Experience with modern finance tooling (QBO, Stripe, Bill.com, Brex, Sheets/Excel)

Month-end close ownership (journal entries, accruals, prepaids, reconciliations, balance sheet integrity)

Strong judgment and problem-solving in real-world, messy systems

Revenue and cash flow mechanics in subscription and multi-stream environments

Process design (building SOPs, controls, and workflows that scale)

Clear communication across stakeholders (timelines, trade-offs, and follow-through)

Owner mindset: You see gaps, fix them, and follow through without needing a lot of direction

Strong judgment: You know when 'good and consistent' beats 'perfect but late,' and when accuracy and controls must win

Systems thinker: You spot the root cause (not just the symptom), then improve the workflow so it stays fixed

Comfort in ambiguity: You can operate well when the process is evolving, and help make it clearer for everyone else

Practical process builder: You like SOPs and checklists that are actually usable, not performative documentation

Detail-first, but not stuck: You catch issues early, and you can still keep momentum during close

Cross-functional translator: You can explain accounting impacts to non-accountants
