About the Role:
We’re looking for an exceptional Accounting Manager to build and scale the accounting foundation at a fast-growing, venture-backed marketplace platform.
You’ll be responsible for all aspects of accounting and financial operations, from monthly close and revenue recognition to systems implementation and process redesign. You’ll work closely with the leadership team to ensure financial integrity as we scale, bringing a deep understanding of marketplace economics and the accounting challenges that come with multi-sided platforms, while building AI-enabled processes that make the function smarter, faster, and more insightful.
What You'll Do:
Billing and AR
Own end-to-end billing operations for marketplace revenue streams (gross vs. net revenue).
Review customer contracts to ensure proper ASC 606 revenue recognition.
Partner with Sales and Customer Success to ensure accurate and timely billing and collections.
Reconcile AR, deferred revenue, billing, and revenue to ensure timely and accurate month-end close.
AP
Oversee the full accounts payable cycle, from standard vendor payments to high-volume payments to 1099 contractors (recruiters) in a marketplace environment.
Own vendor setup, purchase orders, invoice processing, and payments.
Implement scalable, automated AP workflows and payment systems to support rapid growth and high transaction volumes in a marketplace environment.
Support cash-flow forecasting by providing AR/AP visibility.
General Accounting & Reporting
Prepare monthly close deliverables, including journal entries and reconciliations.
Assist in annual financial audit and tax filings.
Support Strategic Finance / FP&A with operational data and insights.
Who You Are:
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA preferred
3-5 years of accounting experience. Big four or national firm experience preferred but not required.
Experience in high-growth or venture-backed environments; you know what “building while scaling” feels like.
Excited to design and automate processes with AI rather than simply recreate stale playbooks.
Energized by ambiguity and a fast-changing environment.
Curious about and comfortable with AI tools and modern finance stacks (e.g., Stripe, Ramp, Bill, Campfire, Rillet, Tabs, or similar).
Strong communicator who brings clarity and thrives in a culture that values intellectual honesty, speed, and excellence.
