- Hands-on experience across financial operations: payables, receivables, billing, collections, payroll coordination, and cash-management controls
- Experience coordinating external audits and building documented policies, supporting schedules, review procedures, and effective internal controls
- Experience implementing or improving accounting systems and related workflows, with a track record of making financial data more reliable and reducing manual work
- Clear communication, sound judgment, and ability to work independently with operational leaders, external accountants, legal advisors, and small internal teams

- CPA or equivalent professional accounting qualification; public-accounting experience combined with hands-on operating experience is valuable
- Experience in AI infrastructure, cloud, developer tools, software, or other technology businesses with complex commercial terms or consumption-based billing
- Experience with international entities, intercompany accounting, foreign currency, and coordination with local accounting, payroll, or tax advisors
- Experience evaluating leases, fixed assets, infrastructure commitments, and other material arrangements relevant to compute-intensive businesses
- Experience working with FP&A on management reporting, cost classification, and cash visibility while maintaining clear distinction between accounting conclusions and forecast assumptions
- Built a company's accounting function through rapid growth rather than only administering an established process
- Connected contract terms and usage data to accurate invoicing, revenue accounting, and collections in technical product businesses
- Led ERP migration or financial-system integration without disrupting reporting, controls, or day-to-day operations
- Improved close quality, audit preparedness, or financial operations through automation while maintaining clear review trail
