About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Monthly close. You'll own close end-to-end — journal entries through published financials — with a target cadence of 10 business days monthly.
Audit readiness and external audit. You'll stand up documentation and controls for external audit, partner with the CFO on firm selection, and manage fieldwork through to a clean opinion.
The books. Full GL, AP, AR, treasury, payroll accounting, and revenue recognition. You'll have CFO partnership on technical accounting matters and external support available for heavier lifts (ASC 718, 340-40, SAFE conversion) as needed.
Finance systems. You'll own the finance systems roadmap — GL, AP, expense, and billing tooling — and lead evaluations and migrations as the business scales. We want someone who has opinions here.
Revenue recognition policy. SaaS subscription, some services, occasional non-standard deals, a reseller arrangement. You'll own the policy, review non-standard contracts before they close, and partner with RevOps on ARR tie-out.
