Senior Accountant

Your Role

You will be responsible for month-end close activities, financial analysis, accounts payable, and the development of accounting policies (e.g., capitalized software), while contributing to the continuous evolution of our accounting function. You will play a critical part in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of our financial operations across multiple key areas, including expenses, fixed assets, cash management, credit cards, and travel entertainment. This role demands a high degree of ownership and the ability to work independently while collaborating cross-functionally to support business objectives and improve processes.

• Prepare audit-ready documentation and act as a key point of contact for external auditors (Big 4).
• Partner with FPA and business stakeholders to manage accruals and ensure accurate financial reporting.
• Identify opportunities for automation and process improvements with an eye on scalability and control.
• Play a lead role in the development and rollout of new accounting policies and procedures, including capitalization of software costs.
• Drive ad hoc projects, system enhancements, and process transformation initiatives in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or a related field. A professional certification (e.g. CPA) is highly preferred.
• 3–5 years of progressive accounting experience, ideally in SaaS, technology, or a high-growth company.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with high attention to accuracy and detail.
• Proven ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and adapt to evolving business needs.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to influence across functions and levels.
• Self-motivated, results-driven, and excited to contribute to a collaborative and growth-oriented team.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills (e.g., pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, and financial modeling).
• Experience with NetSuite is preferred; familiarity with systems like Zip is a plus.
• Big 4/Public Accounting experience is a plus.
