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
Have a Bachelor's in Accounting (CPA preferred—equivalent experience welcomed)
Bring 7+ years in accounting/finance with progressive responsibility (public + private a bonus)
Have strong QuickBooks Online experience in a real operational environment (not just a clean SaaS demo)
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 (rare, precious, hire them)
Process improvement, automation, or building finance ops from scratch
Preferred
Experience in high-transaction environments (hospitality, property management, marketplace models) is strongly preferred—this isn't a simple single-entity business
Benefits
75% employer-paid health insurance (including dependents) + dental/vision + HSA
401(k) with up to 4% match
PTO + sick time + bonus program + recognition rewards
Professional development support (yes, real support)
Hybrid/remote flexibility
A real chance to help build a world-class finance function—not just maintain one
Fun, high-accountability team that actually likes each other
