You will own and scale the company's month-end close and general ledger as the business grows rapidly. This is a hands-on role responsible for journal entries, reconciliations, and supporting schedules for operating expense accounts and international subsidiaries (APAC and EMEA), including high-volume areas like infrastructure and compute spend, software subscriptions, and prepaid commitments. You'll partner closely with Accounts Payable, Payroll, FP&A, Tax, Legal, and Procurement to ensure transactions are coded, recorded, and reconciled correctly.
Key responsibilities include: preparing and posting journal entries for accruals, prepaids, reclasses, and fixed asset depreciation; owning operating expense accruals and gathering support from AP and Procurement; maintaining prepaid schedules and amortization for software, cloud, and compute commitments; performing monthly flux and variance analysis on operating expense accounts; reconciling balance sheet accounts (cash, prepaids, accrued liabilities, deposits, fixed assets, intercompany); tying out payroll and benefits postings; supporting month-end close for international subsidiaries including intercompany transactions, eliminations, and FX remeasurement; assisting with local statutory and tax filings; maintaining GL coding accuracy across ERP and spend management platforms; participating in ERP enhancements and testing; documenting close procedures and building SOX-ready controls; preparing PBC schedules and workpapers for external auditors; identifying and automating manual close steps; and supporting tax, compliance, and other accounting projects.
Success in the first 6–12 months means owning a consistent, on-time close for operating expense accounts and international subsidiaries; building reliable accrual and prepaid schedules that hold up at audit; keeping balance sheet reconciliations current with reconciling items cleared monthly; improving GL coding accuracy; documenting close procedures and controls; and reducing manual effort through automation and cleaner processes.
Requirements:
- 4–6 years of general ledger or corporate accounting experience, ideally at a high-growth technology or SaaS company; public accounting experience a plus
- Strong grasp of U.S. GAAP and accrual accounting, including prepaid and capitalization policy
- Hands-on experience owning month-end close tasks (journal entries, accruals, balance sheet reconciliations)
- Experience with multi-entity accounting, intercompany, and foreign currency a plus
- Strong systems orientation with ERP experience (NetSuite preferred); familiarity with spend management platforms (Ramp) a plus
- Advanced Excel skills and ability to build clean, auditable schedules
- Experience supporting external audits and preparing clear supporting documentation
- Exposure to SOX readiness, internal controls documentation, ERP implementation, or chart-of-accounts redesign a plus
- Strong communication skills and comfort partnering across teams
- Comfortable in an environment with rapidly evolving systems and changing business requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA or progress toward CPA preferred
