About the Role
As the first dedicated accounting hire, you will own the accounting function end-to-end, reporting to the Head of Finance. This hands-on role involves managing daily tasks, leading the company's first financial statement audit, and potentially expanding into FP&A as the company grows. The goal is to build a scalable accounting function using AI and automation.
Responsibilities
- Own the monthly close and prepare accurate, timely financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, including bank and balance sheet reconciliations and the statement of cash flows
- Deliver monthly financial reporting to leadership, investors and other stakeholders, and prepare for potential lender reporting and compliance requirements

- Lead technical accounting research and document positions on complex or judgment-intensive transactions

- Own stock-based compensation accounting and equity administration
- Keep accounting, payroll and spend systems integrated and in sync
- Manage outside advisors on federal and state tax returns and R&D credits, and own the compliance calendar, including franchise, property, and sales and use tax filings
- Build a scalable, low-touch accounting function using AI and automation, identifying manual work across the close, AP and reporting and automating it
- Continuously improve close speed and accuracy as volume grows
- Provide variance analysis and, as the function matures, own budget vs. actual reporting by department
- Support annual budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling and scenario analysis alongside the Head of Finance
