About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Partner on the monthly close process across multiple entities — making sure the numbers actually tie (cash, intercompany, and everything else)
Prepare and review balance sheets and P&Ls, and flag what looks off on your own read
Investigate variances and resolve reconciling items, especially in cash and intercompany
Help build and maintain intercompany processes across entities so they stay clean as entity count and volume grow
Track and reconcile intercompany balances
Support allocation of shared expenses in a consistent, defensible way
Own and improve expense coding workflows (Ramp and related tools) and fix inefficiencies as you find them
Think about how to automate or streamline workflows, balancing what’s realistic with the tools we have today
Support implementation of better systems and processes over time
Own the rhythm of entity compliance across all entities — recurring filings like annual reports, franchise taxes, property tax, 1099s, and state registrations — so nothing gets forgotten until it’s late
Handle one-off items as they come up: new state registrations, entity formations or dissolutions, beneficial ownership filings, and supporting documentation for banks, lenders, and auditors
Partner with legal and tax when filings require outside input, and keep ownership of items that aren’t on a set calendar yet
Partner with the Controller on audit preparation and PBC, including pulling schedules, responding to auditor requests, and keeping workpapers organized across entities
Work with tax and audit partners to make sure deliverables are accurate and timely
Hold external partners accountable — review their work, catch issues, and push for quality and timeliness

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of accounting experience, including ownership (or co-ownership) of month-end close at a venture-backed or high-growth company
Multi-entity experience — you have worked across more than one legal entity and understand intercompany mechanics and shared service allocations
Familiarity with entity-level compliance — annual reports, franchise taxes, property tax, 1099s, state registrations, and the general rhythm of keeping multiple entities in good standing
Has participated in at least one financial statement audit cycle from the company side (not as the auditor)
Strong working knowledge of a modern accounting stack: Ramp or a peer spend management tool, a real ERP (Rillet, NetSuite, Sage Intacct), and solid spreadsheet skills
Strong judgment on accuracy vs. speed — knows what must be right and what must be done
Able to get the details right (recons, tie-outs) while also improving the underlying process so the same issue doesn’t recur next month
Willingness to challenge things that aren’t working and help fix them, professionally
Comfort operating in a dynamic, high-growth environment with evolving priorities
Strong interest in leveraging technology and AI day to day.
