Position Overview

We are a rapidly growing technology and cybersecurity company seeking an experienced Accounting Manager to join our Finance team. This is a hands-on individual contributor (IC) role responsible for owning key accounting processes, leading the monthly close, strengthening internal controls, and driving process improvements as the company scales.

While this position does not initially include direct people management responsibilities, the successful candidate will be expected to demonstrate leadership through cross-functional collaboration, process ownership, mentoring of junior team members, and the development of scalable accounting practices. As the organization grows, this role may evolve to include team leadership responsibilities.

The ideal candidate combines strong technical accounting expertise with operational excellence, a continuous improvement mindset, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Key Responsibilities

Fixed Assets & Operational Accounting

  • Own fixed asset accounting, including capitalization, depreciation, sub-ledger maintenance, and physical asset verification processes.
  • Ensure proper accounting treatment and reporting for operational accounting activities.
  • Monitor accounting processes to ensure accuracy, consistency, and compliance.

Process Improvement & Automation

  • Identify opportunities to automate, streamline, and scale accounting processes.
  • Lead process transformation initiatives that improve efficiency, reduce close timelines, and enhance reporting quality.
  • Partner with Finance Systems and IT teams on ERP enhancements, integrations, and system implementations.
  • Leverage technology to eliminate manual processes and strengthen reporting capabilities.

Cross-Functional Partnership

  • Partner closely with FP&A, Operations, Sales, HR, Legal, and executive leadership teams.
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and strategic planning activities.
  • Provide accounting guidance and financial insights to business stakeholders.
  • Collaborate across departments to ensure alignment between accounting, operational, and business objectives.

Leadership & Ownership

  • Demonstrate leadership through accountability, initiative, and process ownership.
  • Mentor and support junior accounting team members when appropriate.
  • Foster a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence.
  • Proactively identify risks, control gaps, and process weaknesses.
  • Perform root-cause analysis when issues arise and implement long-term solutions.
  • Operate effectively in situations where processes are evolving or not fully established.

Communication & Stakeholder Management

  • Communicate complex accounting concepts effectively to both finance and non-finance audiences.
  • Present financial information and recommendations to management.
  • Influence decisions through strong business partnership, analytical thinking, and effective communication.
  • Demonstrate the confidence to challenge assumptions and advocate for accounting integrity when necessary.

  • Demonstrated experience owning full-cycle close and financial statement preparation.
  • Experience with account reconciliations, journal entries, accruals, and audit support.
  • Experience designing and improving accounting processes, internal controls, and operational workflows.
  • Experience supporting external audits and working within SOX or SOX-like control environments.
  • Advanced proficiency with Excel, including complex formulas, pivot tables, and financial analysis.
  • Experience with ERP systems such as NetSuite or similar accounting platforms.
  • Proven ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent analytical, organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • CPA (active or inactive) strongly preferred.
  • Experience in SaaS, software, cybersecurity, or other high-growth technology companies.
  • Experience with ERP implementations, system integrations, and finance transformation projects.
  • Experience building scalable accounting processes and control environments.
