You'll own accounts payable end to end, drive a meaningful share of the month-end close, and help build the reconciliations, schedules, and documentation that keep a fast-growing SaaS business audit-ready. This is a hands-on role at an early-stage finance function, so you'll get broad exposure: multi-entity consolidation, usage-based revenue, and sales tax compliance, with room to take on more as the company scales. DUTIES MONTH-END CLOSE & GENERAL LEDGER - Prepare and post journal entries for accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, payroll, and other recurring areas. - Own assigned balance sheet reconciliations, including cash, prepaids, accruals, and intercompany, with clear support and documented explanations for open items. - Maintain supporting schedules (prepaid amortization, fixed assets and depreciation, accrual rollforwards) and keep them tied to the GL. - Assist with flux and variance analysis on close deliverables, flagging unexpected movements before reporting goes out. - Help tighten the close calendar and document procedures as processes mature. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE & DISBURSEMENTS - Own the AP cycle: vendor onboarding, invoice intake and coding, approval routing, and payment runs. - Manage corporate card and employee expense reporting, including policy compliance and receipt substantiation. - Reconcile the AP subledger to the GL and manage the accrual for unbilled vendor activity at period end. - Maintain vendor records, W-9s, and 1099 reporting. COMPLIANCE & TAX SUPPORT - Support US sales tax compliance: nexus monitoring, registrations, filings, and exemption certificate management. - Assist with state and local registrations and annual filings as we expand. - Prepare schedules and pull support for external tax preparers and advisors. - Support intercompany transaction recording and reconciliation between our US and non-US entities. Work with external and internal entity stakeholders. SYSTEMS, PROCESS & CROSS-FUNCTIONAL - Work in our ERP and connected systems day to day, helping improve data quality and automate manual steps. - Partner with GTM, Marketing, Engineering, HR and Operations on vendor, contract, and expense questions. - Take on ad hoc analysis and project work as the finance function builds out. SKILLS - 4+ years of accounting experience, ideally a mix of public accounting or in-house at a technology or SaaS company. - Working knowledge of US GAAP and the accrual close cycle. - Hands-on experience owning AP and account reconciliations. - Comfort in an ERP (NetSuite, Rillet, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, or similar). - Able to work through large data exports in Excel or Sheets — pivots, lookups, tying subledger detail back to the GL. - Comfortable using and implementing AI tools and solutions - Clear written communication and comfort working cross functionally NICE TO HAVES - CPA License - Experience working with non-US entities, preferably in Germany or The Netherlands. - Exposure to SaaS or usage-based billing and deferred revenue. - Experience with multi-entity environments, intercompany activity, or consolidations. - Familiarity with sales tax automation tools Anrok or an ERP implementation. - Experience at a startup where processes were still being built.
