  • Annual Bonus: Up to 20%

Your Impact: General Ledger & Month-End Close

  • Own the general ledger and the month-end close in NetSuite, from the close calendar through final review, across multiple entities and currencies (U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia), including intercompany, cost-plus, revenue reclass, loan and accrual entries.
  • Review and approve journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations and flux analyses, ensuring every account is reconciled, supported and signed off on schedule.
  • Manage financial statement preparation, including consolidation, footnote disclosures and supporting schedules.
  • Maintain the chart of accounts, GL mapping and close controls, and continuously improve close speed and accuracy through process improvement and automation.

Payroll, Benefits & Compensation Accounting

  • Oversee payroll accounting for bi-weekly U.S. payroll and monthly U.K. payroll, including payroll, PTO, bonus and commission accruals, payroll flux and reconciliations, and off-cycle and final pay.
  • Own 401(k) and benefits accounting, including deferral and loan funding, reconciliations and plan audit support.
  • Serve as the finance owner of payroll systems (currently Paycom, transitioning to Workday), partnering with HR on setup, GL mapping and benefit codes.
  • Own the payroll forecast, headcount reporting and the payroll components of the annual budget, partnering with FP&A and HR.

Treasury, Banking & Cash

  • Manage bank relationships and portals, including account and signer administration, KYC and bank projects, and ensure timely cash and bank reconciliations.
  • Oversee loan accounting and lender reporting requirements.

  • Serve as business owner of NetSuite and Airbase, directing administration, user access reviews and segregation of duties, and lead finance systems implementations and upgrades.
  • Maintain the internal control framework, accounting policies and process documentation, and ensure backup coverage for every critical process.

Technical Accounting & Strategic Support

  • Perform technical accounting research and prepare position memos on non-routine transactions (revenue recognition, leases, equity, business combinations), ensuring compliance with U.S. GAAP.
  • Maintain accounting policies aligned with evolving accounting standards and company operations.
  • Partner with the Controller and CFO on M&A due diligence, purchase accounting and integration of acquired entities, including pro forma financials.

Accounting Leadership & Collaboration

  • Lead, coach and develop the accounting team across GL, payroll, AP and AR, setting priorities, delegating clearly, cross-training and holding regular 1:1s.
  • Stay hands-on: step in to prepare, review or troubleshoot day-to-day accounting work when needed, especially during close and audit.
  • Partner with the Controller and CFO, and collaborate with FP&A, HR, Legal, IT and Operations on financial reporting and process improvement initiatives.

What you Bring:

  • Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP, including ASC 606 (Revenue Recognition), ASC 842 (Leases) and ASC 805 (Business Combinations).
  • Hands-on experience with financial statement preparation, audit management and tax coordination; payroll and benefits accounting experience strongly preferred.
  • Experience with NetSuite, including period close and administration; familiarity with Paycom, Workday, ADP or Airbase is a plus; advanced Excel skills.
  • Highly operational and hands-on, with a strong sense of ownership, reliability and commitment; comfortable rolling up sleeves on a lean team.
  • Quick learner who adapts fast, handles ambiguity and juggles competing deadlines without losing accuracy.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with proven ability to write clear, concise memos and to work with auditors, advisors and executives.
  • Strong leadership, organization, and time-management skills, with high attention to detail.

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.
