You should be a hands-on, roll up your sleeves type of manager and should enjoy a fast-paced, start-up environment. The position requires strong financial, accounting, and management skills as well as a strong business sense. Being able to understand and direct the big picture while being extremely detail-oriented is critical.

You Will

• Lead a team to oversee and execute all Accounting functions (financial reporting, revenue recognition, general ledger management, AR/AP, stock administration, tax, treasury, and payroll) and ensure compliance with GAAP and other government regulations.
• Execute the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes, financial statement preparation, and tax planning and compliance.
• Lead cross-functional teams in the development, implementation, and oversight of improved company-wide accounting policies, procedures, technology solutions, and controls to elevate the operations of the business while effectively managing risk via a comprehensive internal control environment.
• Partner with the FP&A teams on financial analysis and reporting.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to determine the accounting implications of key business deals.
• Scale and mentor a high-performing accounting team.

You Have

• 12+ years of accounting experience with time spent in public accounting and/or senior leadership roles within high-growth public technology (Marketplace and/or Subscription experience preferred). CPA with BS/BA in Accounting/Finance.
• Expert knowledge of U.S. GAAP, including familiarity with accounting positions and related guidance and other international entities (experience with ASC 606 required).
• Ability to understand and navigate challenging, complex, and cross-functional business problems; drive accounting-led initiatives and/or contribute deep domain expertise and recommendations to non-accounting-led initiatives.
• Experience implementing systems to achieve scalability and efficiency of the business and accounting functions.
• Strong people management experience and proven ability to deliver outstanding results through others in a timely manner using a strong sense of focus, organization, and thoughtful team design.
• Ability to function at high levels of business strategy but also willing to dive into the weeds and operate hands-on.
