📋 Description

• Research and document complex accounting positions (ASC 606, ASC 842, ASC 718) in clear, defensible technical memos. • Execute critical components of the monthly close process, including the preparation of complex journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, and detailed flux (variance) analysis to ensure the integrity of the General Ledger. • Design and implement scalable accounting processes and institutional-grade internal controls that can withstand 2x–3x transaction volume growth without adding headcount. • Lead the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements. You will build out the rigorous reporting framework required for comprehensive external disclosures (MD&A, Footnotes). • Collaborate directly with Sales, Legal, and Deal Desk teams to structure complex deals and new product launches, ensuring favorable revenue recognition and operational feasibility before contracts are signed. • Own the global consolidation process for multi-entity structures. You will lead the accounting workstream for due diligence and post-acquisition integration (ASC 805) as we scale through M&A. • Act as a technical mentor to junior accounting staff, performing first-level review of workpapers and elevating the team’s overall technical proficiency. • Actively identify and implement AI-driven workflows to streamline data reconciliation, anomaly detection, and reporting cycles. • Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors, leveraging your Big 4 experience to navigate inquiries and ensure a "clean" audit trail.

🎯 Requirements

• 3–6 years of experience, including a foundational stint in Big 4 Public Accounting (Audit). • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting; CPA required. • Deep understanding of ASC 606 (Revenue Recognition) and ASC 805 (Business Combinations). • The ability to translate complex accounting issues (like warrant liabilities or stock-based comp) into clear, actionable insights for non-finance leadership. • You don't wait for auditors to find issues. You anticipate questions, prepare the defense in advance, and maintain "audit-ready" documentation year-round. • Expert-level Google Sheets skills (complex formulas, index/match, and data visualization). • You are an early adopter. You should be comfortable using LLMs and automation tools to increase your output and audit accuracy. • A track record of identifying bottlenecks in financial workflows and independently implementing solutions (automations, policy changes) to remove them. • Experience with NetSuite, Abacum, Ramp, Carta, and BambooHR is highly preferred.

🏖️ Benefits

• High Visibility: You will report directly to leadership and have a front-row seat to a high-profile IPO journey and aggressive M&A strategy. • Modern Finance: We don't do "manual." We invest in the best tools so you can focus on high-level strategy rather than data entry. • Mission-Driven Work: Join a "Unicorn" that provides a critical data link between connected devices and 911 agencies—your work literally helps save lives. • The chance to work with a passionate team on solving one of the largest challenges globally. • Competitive salary, benefits, and equity participation. • A dynamic, flexible, and fun start-up work environment with a highly talented team.
