CA and US onlyMetabase is the easiest way for people to get insights from their data, from tiny startups who get up and running quickly to major corporations with tens of thousands of users. That's why people love us.
We bring data tools with the elegance and simplicity of consumer products to the crufty world of enterprise business intelligence. We provide an opinionated open source starting point for how companies should measure, analyze and share their data, which is used by tens of thousands of companies.
Metabase’s BizOps Finance team is looking to add to our team with a high-performer who can own our accounting and tax function. Our bookkeeping and tax accounting are outsourced, so this will require managing and overseeing external accounting firms. This role will require wearing many hats: digging deep into our financials to ensure accuracy of our month-end books, project managing our audit and tax initiatives, and systematizing key elements of our financial operations.
The role will offer significant exposure to the financial management of a rapidly growing company, and the opportunity to own and scale our accounting functions. We are a small team, so you should be prepared to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in where you are needed.
Responsibilities
- Working with our external financial accountants, managing the month-end-close process
- Project-managing and liaising with our external financial auditors
- Working with our tax accountants, providing ad-hoc analysis in support of tax submissions and making sure things stay on-track
- Owning our expense processes and procedures
- Designing and implementing financial systems to improve our efficiency
- Leading cross-functional projects to tackle operational problems as they arise
- Getting stuck in where needed
About You
- Rock-solid quantitative skills: you produce error-free analysis and reports, and can diagnose and solve complex issues in our bookkeeping
- Experience leading complex projects with multiple workstreams and deadlines
- Adept at managing vendors, building strong relationships and delivering feedback when needed
- You have strong organizational skills with a high attention to detail: you enjoy checking items off your checklist, and can seamlessly balance multiple threads of work
- Minimum 3-5 years experience, preferably in a startup, consulting firm, or finance function
- Strong quantitative undergraduate degree (or MBA)
- Based in the US or Canada
- Low-ego attitude: no job should be too small or too large
- Nice-to-have: CPA or accounting coursework
- Nice-to-have: familiarity with QBO
- Nice-to-have: some knowledge of SQL and / or a scripting language to help automate things (e.g. python, javascript, VBA)
We're a global team (50% outside the US), fully distributed (from Thailand to California), who get things done asynchronously, with plenty of uninterrupted time, supporting each other to do the best work of our careers. We offer flexibility (define your own schedule and work from wherever you want), autonomy, and an environment that fosters growth, learning, and development. We're relentlessly user-focused and believe in building long-term value, not short-term hacks. And we raised a $30M Series B to take our approach to the next level for years to come.
