Job Description:

We are looking for a strategic and driven Accounting Program Manager to lead accounting efforts for new and complementary product initiatives across the business.

Reporting to the Director of Accounting, you will play a pivotal role in bridging accounting requirements with innovative product launches, ensuring scalable and compliant solutions.
You'll be embedded in the business, working closely with product, engineering, and operational teams to understand new initiatives deeply and proactively shape their accounting implications from design to launch. This role also includes contributing to monthly close processes to stay connected to the core operations and continuously optimize performance and resource planning.

Actively engage in product launch discussions, support user acceptance testing (UAT), and ensure clear, consistent communication and alignment among Accounting, Product, Engineering, and Executive stakeholders.

  • Stay hands-on in the monthly close process to maintain operational insight, focusing on areas of friction and opportunities for automation, efficiency, and skill development.

  • Deepen your understanding of order-to-cash, revenue recognition, foreign exchange, transfer pricing, and other complex accounting areas. Bring this knowledge to influence both short- and long-term product strategies.

  • Champion process improvement and change management within Accounting. Drive initiatives that enhance accuracy, scalability, and efficiency.

You have:
  • 5+ years of experience in accounting or finance, with at least 2 years in a program/project management role.

  • Professional certification in accounting (CPA, CMA, etc.).

  • Strong knowledge of GAAP and financial regulations.

  • Experience with financial software and systems (e.g. ERP, accounting software).

  • Proven track record of managing and leading cross-functional teams.
