The Opportunity:
We are seeking a highly skilled and analytical Technical Accounting & Financial Reporting Manager to join our dynamic Finance team.

- Own the review of complex, judgment-heavy areas, including but not limited to commissions, as part of the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close process, ensuring transactions are properly accounted for and well-supported.
- Own technical accounting research on complex and non-recurring transactions, applying GAAP and authoritative literature to reach well-supported conclusions, and draft clear, well-documented memos.
- Own the evaluation and adoption of new accounting standards, and the ongoing development and maintenance of Grafana’s accounting policies as the business evolves.
- Proactively identify emerging areas of complexity in the close process and partner with cross-functional teams to ensure timely, accurate resolution.
- Partner cross-functionally to understand business transactions and clearly communicate accounting and equity-related issues to stakeholders.
What Makes You a Great Fit:
- Big 4 experience (or similar technical accounting advisory background) and CPA certification (or equivalent) required.
- Deep understanding of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements, including but not limited to ASC 230, ASC 260, ASC 350, ASC 606, ASC 718, and ASC 805.
- Experience researching FASB Accounting Standards Codification and Big 4 interpretive guidance.
- Experience supporting financial reporting controls and external audits.
- Strong technical, analytical, and communication skills, written and verbal.
- Ability to lead projects collaboratively in a changing environment, work independently, and manage multiple priorities.
- Attention to detail and sound judgment in a complex, fast-moving environment.
Bonus Points For:
- Experience with Workiva, NetSuite, and Xactly (or similar commissions tool)
- Proven track record of applying process automation or data analytics in technical accounting or financial reporting
