Hi there!
We’re looking for an experienced Accounting Manager to serve as our end-to-end owner of equity accounting — ensuring accurate accounting for stock-based compensation, modifications, secondary transactions, and other complex equity events under US GAAP.
This role will also support our broader technical accounting needs by researching and implementing new accounting standards, supporting the annual audit, and rolling up your sleeves to assist with key areas of the monthly close, including fixed assets, intangible assets, and other general ledger areas.
In this role, you’ll partner closely with Julia Munoz, Controller, to ensure our Accounting team remains GAAP compliant, maintains a 5-day close, and continues building forward-thinking automation solutions to modernize our processes in the AI era.
This is a unique opportunity for a highly technical individual contributor who thrives without direct people management responsibilities and wants to drive meaningful change through automation, systems improvements, and strong technical accounting leadership.
If you want to advance your career at a fast-growing, profitable, impact-driven company — read on.

About You:
You’re a seasoned accounting professional. You have 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 3 years in audit (public or internal). You have deep experience navigating complex technical accounting areas, particularly equity and stock-based compensation under US GAAP.
You’re comfortable as a senior individual contributor. You don’t need direct reports to make an impact. You take ownership, operate independently, and lead through expertise and influence.
You have an automation mindset. You naturally look for ways to streamline, systematize, and eliminate manual processes. You’re energized by leveraging AI, system enhancements, and process redesign to build scalable accounting operations.
You’re technically strong and operationally grounded. You can draft clear, well-supported accounting memos, interpret new standards, and apply them in practice. At the same time, you’re comfortable jumping into the details of general ledger accounting when needed.
You collaborate effectively. You enjoy partnering across Strategic Finance, People, Engineering, and other cross-functional teams to ensure transactions are structured and recorded appropriately.
You communicate clearly in writing. Whether drafting a technical memo, documenting a process flow, or collaborating in Slack, you’re thoughtful, concise, and clear.
You’re analytical and pragmatic. You care about precision and internal controls, but you also understand materiality and know which issues require deep investigation.
You’re adaptable and resourceful. You enjoy solving complex problems and navigating ambiguity in a growing organization.
You’ve got the credentials. You are an active CPA.
Things You’ll Do:
Serve as the equity accounting subject matter expert, ensuring all equity transactions — including stock-based compensation, modifications, secondary transactions, and new grant structures — are accounted for in compliance with US GAAP.
Partner cross-functionally on equity-related matters to ensure accurate data flow from source systems through financial reporting.
Own month-end close responsibilities for fixed assets, intangible assets, and other assigned areas, ensuring timely and accurate reporting within a 5-business-day close.
Drive process improvement and automation initiatives, leveraging NetSuite functionality, system integrations, AI tools, and workflow redesign to reduce manual effort and increase scalability.
Enhance ERP and subledger capabilities by identifying and implementing system improvements within NetSuite and related tools.
Support the preparation of consolidated financial statements and identify opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce close timelines.
Research and document technical accounting matters, including new accounting pronouncements, and assess their impact on the company.
Assist in the preparation and review of audit schedules and serve as a key point of contact for auditors on equity and other technical areas.
Monitor and strengthen internal controls, including segregation of duties, and help implement a version 1 controls matrix to formalize our control environment.
Support the Controller and VP of Accounting on strategic initiatives, special projects, and cross-functional company priorities.
