• Prepare journal entries, reconciliations, and supporting documentation.

• Assist with revenue recognition and contract review in accordance with ASC 606.

• Support SaaS financial metrics such as ARR/MRR tracking, deferred revenue, and billings.

• Partner cross-functionally to ensure financial data is complete, accurate, and up-to-date.

Compliance, Controls & Audit Readiness

• Prepare schedules and documentation for tax filings; coordinate with external accountants and tax partners.

• Support annual and ad-hoc audit requests, including building and maintaining internal controls.

• Maintain accurate equity and cap table data and support equity administration needs.

• Ensure compliance with sales tax requirements; help implement and maintain sales tax tools and processes.

• Maintain clear documentation of all processes, policies, and accounting systems.

Financial Systems, Automation & Scalability

• Identify opportunities to streamline workflows and implement automation to support scale.

• Support implementation, optimization, and ongoing maintenance of finance tools (QBO, Brex, Gusto, etc.).

• Improve documentation, process clarity, and system reliability across accounting operations.

• Help build a stable, scalable financial infrastructure that grows with the company.

Strategic Support & Cross-Functional Partnership

• Partner with the Head of Strategic Finance on forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis.

• Prepare materials for internal reporting, board meetings, and investor updates.

• Collaborate with Sales and leadership on cost management, commissions, and contract workflows.

• Support fundraising processes, financial due diligence, and strategic initiatives as needed.

To be successful in this position, you’ll need to:

• Have 3–5+ years of accounting or finance experience, ideally in SaaS or high-growth startups.

• Demonstrate strong knowledge of GAAP and familiarity with ASC 606.

• Be highly organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple workflows simultaneously.

• Be comfortable owning processes end-to-end and rolling up your sleeves to execute them.

• Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical partners.

• Thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment where processes are still being built.

Bonus points if you:
