This role is ideal for someone with a strong blend of public accounting and corporate accounting experience who is eager to build, optimize, and lead. You will play a critical role in establishing financial infrastructure, ensuring compliance, and providing strategic insights to support the company’s growth.

This is a “roll your sleeves up” position—perfect for someone who is both strategic and detail-oriented, and excited to build processes from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and manage all accounting operations, including general ledger, accounts payable/receivable, payroll, and financial reporting
Design, implement, and maintain internal controls and accounting policies to ensure compliance and scalability
Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes, ensuring accuracy and timeliness
Prepare the company for external audits; serve as the primary point of contact for auditors
Oversee tax compliance and preparation, coordinating with external advisors as needed
Develop and maintain financial statements in accordance with GAAP
Partner cross-functionally to support business initiatives and improve financial processes
Present financial results, insights, and recommendations to executive leadership, board members, and other stakeholders (both financial and non-financial audiences)
Support strategic planning, forecasting, and budgeting processes

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (CPA strongly preferred)
6–10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including a mix of public accounting and in-house corporate experience
Experience in fintech, financial services, or a high-growth startup environment is highly preferred
Strong knowledge of GAAP, internal controls, and audit processes
Proven ability to build and scale accounting processes in a dynamic environment
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present complex financial information to diverse audiences
Highly detail-oriented, organized, and proactive
Demonstrated ability to operate both strategically and tactically

What We’re Looking For

A builder who enjoys creating structure where it doesn’t yet exist
A problem-solver who is comfortable navigating ambiguity
A collaborative partner who can work across teams and influence decision-making
Someone who takes ownership and has a strong bias toward action
