Hex has raised over $100M from leading investors like Sequoia, a16z, Snowflake and Amplify. With office hubs in San Francisco and New York, as well as remote team members throughout the US and UK, we’re a high-agency team that ships fast and has fun doing it. Check out our Intro to Hex video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAXsnrNlavk and employee handbook https://www.notion.so/hexhq/Hex-Handbook-9fff0d42860e4f70815c599e0d1664d6 to learn more about what it’s like to work at Hex.

About the role:

We're looking for a Head of Accounting to lead our existing accounting team and build the systems, processes, and technical expertise that will support Hex's next stage of growth. We already have a strong team of accounting individual contributors in place—this is an opportunity to build on that foundation, giving the team dedicated leadership, clear priorities, and support to do their best work.

This is a hands-on, player-coach role: you'll be as comfortable working through a complex revenue recognition question or improving a billing workflow as you are developing the team and partnering with leaders across the business. Our hybrid subscription and AI consumption model creates interesting accounting challenges—and an opportunity to rethink how an accounting function scales. You'll help us use agents and automation to grow our capacity without growing manual work at the same pace.

What you will do:

- Build an AI-enabled accounting function. Experiment with agents and automation across collections, journal entries, reconciliations, and close workflows. Help the team adopt what works, with appropriate review and controls.

- Simplify order to cash. Partner with Revenue Operations to move invoicing from Stripe to Rillet and connect clean contract data with accurate billing, collections, and revenue recognition. Reduce manual work and unnecessary processing costs while improving the customer experience.

- Own technical accounting in close partnership with the Head of Finance. Lead ASC 606 accounting for our hybrid subscription and consumption model, including evolving contract structures, and own equity and stock-based compensation accounting under ASC 718. Work closely with the Head of Finance on complex accounting judgments and the implications of new products and commercial terms. Develop clear policies and audit-ready memos, bringing core expertise in-house.

- Deliver a fast, reliable close. Maintain a five-business-day month-end close and accurate, timely US GAAP financial reporting. Own the external audit, tax compliance, and business insurance renewal, keeping internal partners and outside providers aligned.

- Lead and develop the accounting team. Own day-to-day accounting operations, help senior individual contributors prioritize and solve problems, and build the team's capabilities as Hex grows.

- Support international expansion. Establish scalable processes for local accounting, intercompany activity, consolidation, statutory audits, and VAT, and coordinate banking, payroll, and employee expense requirements with internal and external partners.

- Improve cash and working capital management. Own treasury operations and identify opportunities across collections, cash deployment, and vendor payment terms.

- Build processes that fit our stage. Evolve our controls, travel and expense policies, and financial systems as the business grows—balancing sound governance with speed and simplicity.

About You:

- You're a CPA with progressive accounting experience, including accounting leadership at a high-growth SaaS company. You have owned both the details of the work and the outcomes of the function.

- You bring strong technical expertise in US GAAP, particularly ASC 606 and ASC 718. You've worked through subscription and consumption-based revenue questions and can independently write a clear, defensible accounting memo.

- You understand order to cash end to end, from contract and order-form data through invoicing, collections, and recognized revenue. You've worked hands-on with billing and ERP systems and partnered with Revenue Operations to improve the upstream processes behind them.

- You've managed and developed experienced accounting professionals. You enjoy teaching, give clear direction, and are willing to roll up your sleeves rather than manage from a distance.

- You use AI tools and agents to improve accounting workflows, explore new approaches independently, and help others learn. You bring sound judgment about accuracy, review, and controls.

- You've led successful external audits and know how to build controls appropriate to a company's stage—not simply copy a public-company playbook.

- You have experience with multi-entity accounting, consolidation, intercompany activity, and international compliance. Experience helping a company launch internationally is a plus.

- You're comfortable owning cash management and working capital, and can connect operational improvements to their financial impact.

- You communicate clearly with technical and nontechnical partners, explaining both the accounting detail and why it matters to the business. You can run several complex projects at once and keep teams and outside providers on track.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
