About the Role
We are looking for a motivated Staff or Senior Accountant with 5–7 years of experience — ideally including a foundation in public accounting — to join our finance team. This is a high-ownership role at a growing SaaS company where you will take on meaningful responsibility across monthly close, revenue, compliance, and systems. A CPA license or active candidacy is a strong plus.
You will work closely with our Controller and cross-functional partners in RevOps and Sales to ensure our financial data is accurate, our processes are scalable, and our systems are being used to their fullest potential. We are also actively investing in AI-enabled finance workflows,and we want someone eager to be part of that journey.

• Help oversee the quote-to-cash process, including revenue accounting and operating within our CRM and billing systems to support monthly reconciliation and reporting.
• Maintain the integrity of the general ledger and ensure timely, accurate financial reporting

• Partner with the Controller and broader finance team to test and deploy AI-enabled workflows
Quote-to-cash
• Help manage billing/deal desk queue: review, validate, and process incoming deal requests.
• Perform reconciliations between billing system (Chargebee) and CRM (Salesforce) validating accuracy of deals.
• Cross-functional collaboration with Sales, Legal, and Data to ensure billing and revenue recognition are correctly captured.
What We're Looking For
Experience & Education

• CPA license or active CPA candidacy is a meaningful plus
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

• Genuine curiosity about AI and automation and how they apply to finance
• Self-starter who can manage competing priorities with limited supervision in a fully
remote setting
Nice to Have
• Experience supporting or leading system implementation projects (ERP, billing, revenue)
• Prior experience working in a high-growth startup or scale-up environment
Compensation: $115,000-$120,000
