POSITION SUMMARY

The Senior Accountant is a key contributor responsible for ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and timeliness of the company’s financial records in a high-growth SaaS environment. This role goes beyond transactional accounting and requires strong technical accounting skills, ownership of complex areas, and the ability to operate independently with minimal oversight.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter, problem solver, and continuous improver who can manage complexity, anticipate issues, and elevate the accounting function as the company scales.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

Accounting & Close Ownership

• Own key areas of the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close with full accountability for accuracy and timeliness.

• Prepare and review complex journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules.

• Maintain strong balance sheet hygiene; proactively identify and resolve variances.

• Partner with the Assistant Controller to accelerate close timelines and improve close quality.

Technical Accounting & Judgment

• Apply GAAP with confidence across revenue, accruals, reserves, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, and software capitalization.

• Support ASC 606 and other technical accounting areas by preparing schedules, analyses, and documentation.

• Identify accounting implications of non-standard transactions and escalate appropriately.

• Participate in technical accounting research and memo preparation.

Process Excellence & Controls

• Design, document, and improve accounting processes and internal controls.

• Identify inefficiencies, root causes, and control gaps; propose and implement solutions.

• Ensure compliance with internal policies, audit standards, and SOX-lite controls.

• Serve as a trusted partner during audits; deliver clean, well-supported schedules.

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Work closely with FP&A, Billing, AR, AP, Payroll, and cross-functional teams (Sales Ops, Product, Legal).

• Translate operational activity into accurate accounting outcomes.

• Provide guidance to junior accountants and serve as an informal mentor.

Systems & Data Integrity

• Maintain strong system discipline across ERP, billing, and subledgers.

• Partner in system implementations, enhancements, and automation initiatives.

• Use Excel and reporting tools to reconcile data and identify risks.

What “Super Star” Looks Like in This Role

• Owns problems end-to-end — does not wait to be told.

• Sees issues before they show up in the financials.

• Brings solutions, not just questions.

• Can be trusted with complex areas without constant review.

• Improves processes while executing day-to-day responsibilities.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Experience

• 5–8 years of progressive accounting experience.

• Strong background in SaaS, technology, or subscription-based businesses.

Behavioral Competencies

• Strong judgment and attention to detail.

• Ability to operate with speed and accuracy.

• Clear communicator with strong business acumen.

• Comfortable working in ambiguity and fast-changing environments.

Performance Expectations (First 90 Days)

• Independently own assigned close areas with minimal rework.

• Demonstrate strong understanding of key accounting policies and systems.

• Identify at least 2–3 process or control improvements.
