Responsibilities
Own the monthly close end-to-end: schedule, checklist, reconciliations, review, and final outputs
Ensure clean revenue recognition, accruals, prepaid schedules, and balance sheet hygiene
Build and maintain internal controls to reduce fraud, error, leakage, and “mystery money”
Keep us audit-ready all year, not just when someone’s panicking in March
Produce monthly financial package (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, KPIs, variance explanations)
Deliver spend visibility and trend insights: what’s changing, why, and what we should do about it
Partner with Colin on forecasting, budget vs. actual analysis, and leadership-ready reporting
Translate financial results into clear “here’s what it means” narratives for execs and department leaders
Own cash visibility: near-term cash planning + systems to prevent surprises
Oversee A/P and A/R workflow health: accuracy, timing, approvals, and controls
Improve working capital rhythms (billing discipline, collections, payout timing, vendor terms)
Build scalable workflows across systems: QuickBooks Online, Divvy, Guesty, HubSpot, Zuper (and whatever else reality throws at us)
Coordinate tax filings, forms, and payments with external partners
Maintain documentation and schedules so compliance is routine—not a last-minute ritual sacrifice
Optimize our accounting tech stack and SOPs (standard operating procedures)
Create clarity across departments on coding, purchasing, approvals, and accountability
You'll lead our 2-person accounting team and partner with outsourced finance resources
Qualification
Required

Know how to run close + controls, and you can also support forecasting, cash planning, and exec reporting
Communicate clearly—no finance fog machine, no vague hand-waving
Love building systems, tightening processes, and making messy things make sense
Can lead with ownership and still play nicely with others
