📋 Description

• Own technical accounting across the topics that will define our audit and S-1, including revenue recognition (ASC 606), stock-based compensation and equity transactions (ASC 718), capitalized software (internal-use and software to be sold), leases (ASC 842), business combinations (ASC 805), and complex financing instruments. • Own GAAP financial statement preparation and footnote disclosures from the ground up, including MD&A and the disclosures required for registration. • Quarterback the external audit — build the policy library, stand up the PBC process, and serve as the primary technical point of contact for auditors. Defend positions independently. • Scope and manage external technical accounting advisors — direct their work, decide when to bring them in versus execute in-house, and hold them to our standards. • Own the relationship with valuation specialists on 409As, purchase price allocations, and intangible asset valuations. • Partner with tax advisors on international transfer pricing and intercompany accounting. • Lay the foundation for SEC reporting (S-1, 10-K, 10-Q) and SOX readiness — design the workflows, controls, and calendars that will support public-company operations. • Develop and document accounting policies that are clear, defensible, and scalable. • Leverage AI aggressively — for research, memo drafting, tie-outs, disclosure benchmarking, and workflow automation — and build your own tooling where it helps. • Build the team as we scale.

🎯 Requirements

• Active CPA, with a strong Big 4 or national firm foundation. • 8+ years of progressive experience in technical accounting and/or financial reporting, with deep fluency in US GAAP. • Hands-on technical range across revenue (606), equity comp (718), leases (842), and business combinations (805) — you can take on a gnarly issue and come back with a defensible memo you drafted yourself. • Experience preparing GAAP financial statements and footnotes from scratch, not just reviewing them. • Experience managing external auditors and external accounting consultants — you know how to scope, direct, and push back. • A builder's instinct — comfort with ambiguity, no waiting for playbooks, strong bias to ship. • A demonstrated AI-native working style — you use LLMs daily for drafting, research, and analysis, and can talk concretely about what these tools do well and where they fall short for accountants. • Strong written and verbal communication — you can translate technical accounting for non-accountants without losing precision. • Comfort vibe-coding small scripts or automations (Python, SQL, etc.) to accelerate your own work. • High integrity, high ownership, low ego.

🏖️ Benefits
