Accounting Manager

Overview

This role owns the monthly close, technical accounting, and the internal control environment for a high-growth technology organization. Responsibilities include running US GAAP-compliant financial reporting, maintaining SOX 404 controls, and ensuring audit-ready workpapers across revenue recognition (ASC 606), stock-based compensation, and accruals.

You will lead a small accounting team, serve as the primary liaison with external auditors, and partner with FP&A and legal on SEC-related disclosures and compliance matters. Accuracy and speed are both critical, with ongoing efforts to make each quarterly close faster and cleaner.

Responsibilities

• Own the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close process, delivering accurate financial statements within a 5-business-day target
• Prepare and review journal entries, reconciliations, and flux analysis for key accounts, including revenue, prepaid assets, accruals, and equity
• Maintain and test SOX 404 internal controls; document control matrices and remediate deficiencies with process owners
• Research technical accounting issues (ASC 606, ASC 842, ASC 815) and draft position papers for review by leadership and auditors
• Manage the external audit cycle: coordinate PBC requests, lead walkthroughs, and resolve auditor comments on schedule
• Drive process automation in NetSuite and FloQast to reduce manual work and tighten close timelines
• Supervise and develop 2–3 accountants by reviewing their work and building clear procedures with cross-training coverage

Requirements

• 5–8 years of combined public accounting and industry experience; Big 4 or national firm background preferred
• Active CPA license
• Deep US GAAP knowledge, including hands-on SOX 404 control design, testing, or remediation experience
• Proficiency with NetSuite (or comparable ERP) and close-management tools such as FloQast or BlackLine
• Strong Excel skills and comfort analyzing large datasets; SQL or scripting exposure is a plus
• Proven ability to manage external auditors and deliver clean audit outcomes under deadline pressure

Preferred Qualifications

• SEC reporting experience (10-K/10-Q drafting)
• SaaS revenue recognition depth
• Experience supporting M&A diligence and purchase accounting
