📋 Description

• Own the full general ledger and the month-end and year-end close in QuickBooks Online, including journal entries, accruals, prepaids, deferrals, and intercompany activity. • Deliver an accurate, timely close (target 7–10 business days) with a clean reporting package for the CEO and investors. • Own AP, AR, payroll accounting, expense management, corporate card programs, and bank reconciliations. • Maintain the chart of accounts and ensure GAAP-compliant policies for revenue recognition (ASC 606), royalties and rev-share with studios, capitalized software / game development costs, and stock-based compensation. • Track recoupment across a large catalog of products, deliver accurate royalty statements to development partners, and ensure timely, transparent reporting on advances, rev-share, and deal-level P&L. • Design and maintain internal controls appropriate for our stage of growth, with an eye toward audit-readiness and future scale. • Manage the annual audit or review process and serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors. • Oversee federal, state, and local tax compliance in partnership with outside tax advisors, including sales/use tax, multi-state nexus, and 1099 reporting. • Manage entity setup and compliance, including state registrations as the team and operations expand. • Prepare monthly, quarterly and annual reports for internal and external stakeholders. • Partner with the fractional CFO and CEO on investor updates, cap table support, and the next round of fundraising. • Support M&A activity, including financial due diligence on potential studio acquisitions or publishing deals, quality-of-earnings preparation, and post-close integration of acquired entities. • Help model and review key publishing deal structures (advances, recoupment, rev-share, minimum guarantees) from an accounting and reporting standpoint. • Within the first 6-12 months, define, recruit, and hire your first direct report. • Build the accounting org over time as the business grows, including evaluating systems beyond QuickBooks when scale demands it (e.g., NetSuite or similar).

🎯 Requirements

• CPA required. Active license in good standing. • 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including time in public accounting and in-house at a high-growth company. • Series A/B experience. You have been the senior accounting voice (or a key contributor) at a high-growth startup at the Series A or Series B stage, and you understand what investors and boards expect. • QuickBooks Online expertise. You can run a clean close in QBO today and know its limits, you have a point of view on when and how to graduate to a larger ERP. • M&A expertise. You have supported at least one transaction (buy-side or sell-side), financial due diligence, QoE, working capital true-ups, or post-close integration. • Strong technical accounting, including US GAAP, ASC 606 revenue recognition, capitalized software costs, and stock-based compensation. • Builder mindset. You are equally comfortable doing the work yourself today and hiring, mentoring, and leading a team tomorrow. • Excellent communication. You can translate accounting for a CEO, a board, and a non-finance audience without losing precision. • Location: You currently reside in Colorado, North Carolina, or Texas, and are authorized to work in the United States.
