About the role

  • Own the end-to-end AP cycle with a bias toward automation-first design — actively reducing manual touchpoints in invoice intake, coding, approval routing, and payment disbursement
  • Build and maintain smart aging and payment term workflows that proactively surface cash flow risks, with alerting and escalation handled programmatically where possible
  • Enforce internal controls and approval hierarchies that are scalable by design — structured for audit-readiness as transaction volume grows
  • Own the invoicing process end-to-end, with a focus on automating generation and distribution at scale across contract types, billing schedules, and revenue streams
  • Drive a collections process supported by automated follow-up sequences, intelligent prioritization of delinquent accounts, and exception-based escalation workflows
  • Build and maintain AR reconciliation infrastructure capable of handling high payment volumes across multiple processors with minimal manual intervention
  • Produce AR aging and collections reporting through automated pipelines, with human review focused on exceptions and strategic decisions
  • Maintain daily cash visibility through automated payment receipt reporting across all channels
  • Prepare and post journal entries for accruals, prepayments, depreciation, and recurring transactions — with a priority on automating recurring entries and reducing manual posting over time
  • Maintain general ledger integrity, including account coding standards and period-end close accuracy, and help build the control frameworks that make automation safe and auditable
  • Lead month-end and year-end close contributions with a continuous improvement lens — identifying steps in the close process that can be templatized, accelerated, or automated
  • Support financial statement preparation and variance analysis, building toward reporting that is increasingly self-serve and real-time
  • Design and own reconciliation frameworks that scale — built to handle growing transaction volumes across bank accounts, payment processors, merchant accounts, and sub-ledgers with accuracy and speed
  • Identify, investigate, and resolve discrepancies across platforms, with a focus on building detection logic that catches issues before they require manual discovery
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure data integrity between accounting systems and operational platforms, and help define the data standards that make automation reliable
  • Build monitoring and exception-handling for scheduled vs. actual payment activity — flagging timing differences, failed transactions, and duplicates systematically
  • Serve as a key driver of finance automation strategy — owning the identification, prioritization, and implementation of automation opportunities across AP, AR, reconciliation, and reporting
  • Lead or co-lead the evaluation and rollout of AI tools, automation platforms, and system integrations that reduce manual effort and unlock scale
  • Partner with finance and technology teams to implement intelligent solutions including automated data extraction, anomaly detection, workflow orchestration, and reporting pipelines
  • Build and maintain documented, audit-ready automated processes — ensuring controls keep pace with automation adoption
  • Stay ahead of the curve on emerging finance technology and proactively bring recommendations tied to clear business impact

Requirements

  • 4–7 years of progressive accounting experience, ideally in a high-growth or operationally complex environment
  • Strong command of AP, AR, general ledger, and month-end close — you can own these functions independently and under deadline
  • Hands-on experience with accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage, or similar) and a track record of pushing those tools to their limits
  • Demonstrated experience building or improving reconciliation frameworks across high-volume, multi-platform transaction environments
  • Practical experience with finance automation tools, AI-assisted workflows, or no-code/low-code platforms (e.g., Zapier, Make, Ramp, Brex, Vic.ai, or similar)
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally with operations and technology teams to scope and implement system integrations
  • Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills; experience with data tools like Python, SQL, or BI platforms is a plus
  • CPA or CPA-track preferred, but not required — we care more about what you've built than what you've passed
  • A continuous improvement mindset: you document what you build, you think in systems, and you leave processes better than you found them
  • Sense of humor
Benefits
  • Health insurance
  • 401(k) matching
  • Paid time off
