About Us

Backed by leading investors and growing quickly, we are entering an exciting chapter of scale—expanding our team, maturing operations, and building the foundation for our next phase of growth. We are looking for an Accounting Lead to build and scale a world-class accounting function where finance acts as a strategic business partner.

The Opportunity

As an Accounting Lead, you will own the accounting foundation of a fast-growing AI business. This role is ideal for a builder who combines strong technical accounting judgment with a practical mindset. You will lead core accounting operations, strengthen controls, and implement the scalable systems needed to prepare the company for audit, investor readiness, and long-term success.

What You’ll Do

  • Core Operations: Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes, general ledger, and financial reporting for timely, accurate, and scalable financials.

  • Technical Accounting: Oversee critical areas including revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, and accruals relevant to a venture-backed business.

  • Audit & Compliance: Lead audit readiness and manage relationships with external auditors, tax advisors, and finance partners for board reporting and future fundraising.

  • System Building: Partner cross-functionally to improve operational rigor and establish robust internal controls without adding unnecessary complexity.

What We’re Looking For

  • CPA required or strongly preferred.

  • 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally combining public accounting with leadership roles in high-growth, venture-backed companies.

  • Deep knowledge of U.S. GAAP, financial reporting, controls, and audit management.

  • A "roll-up-your-sleeves" builder capable of operating at both strategic and hands-on levels in a fast-moving startup environment.

  • Strong interpersonal skills to partner effectively across business functions.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with usage-based pricing, enterprise contracts, or multi-entity operations

  • Experience with ERP implementations or finance systems optimization.

  • Proven track record of building, mentoring, and developing accounting teams
