About the role
We’re looking for a hands-on accountant to own our monthly close and keep our financial records accurate, current, and easy to understand. You’ll do the detailed work, follow discrepancies through to resolution, and give leadership a reliable view of the business each month.
Monthly accounting and reporting are the core of this role. You’ll also support a focused set of revenue operations tasks: keeping billing accurate, coordinating collections, preparing commission accruals, and making sure revenue data agrees across systems.
What you’ll own
Monthly close and financial reporting

• Run the monthly close from start to finish, with a clear checklist, timeline, and ownership for every step

• Prepare and post journal entries, accruals, and adjustments; maintain supporting schedules for revenue, deferred revenue, prepaid expenses, and other balance sheet accounts

• Reconcile bank, credit card, and balance sheet accounts; investigate discrepancies and resolve outstanding items

• Bring together accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll inputs, and expense records so the books are complete and correctly categorized

• Prepare the monthly income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow reporting, with a concise explanation of material changes and unusual items

• Keep documentation organized and reviewable, and coordinate with internal partners and outside accounting support to get missing information and close on time

Light revenue operations

• Check customer billing against agreed terms and subscription changes; work with customer-facing teams to resolve errors

• Maintain visibility into overdue receivables and coordinate follow-up with the people who own the customer relationship

• Calculate and reconcile commissions and related accruals using approved compensation plans

• Reconcile billing and revenue records across operational systems and the general ledger, and flag inconsistencies in recurring-revenue reporting

Make the process better

• Document recurring work, reduce unnecessary manual steps, and build checks that catch problems before close

• Surface financial risks and data gaps early, with a practical recommendation for resolving them

What success looks like in your first 90 days

• You understand the accounting systems, recurring entries, revenue flows, and open reconciliation items

• You own a documented close calendar and deliver accurate monthly financials on an agreed schedule

• Key balance sheet accounts have clear supporting schedules, and unresolved items have an owner and a plan

• Billing, collections, and commission workflows have simple, repeatable checks

• Leadership can understand the monthly results and trust the numbers behind them

What you’ll bring

• Experience personally owning month-end close and preparing financial statements

• Strong working knowledge of accrual accounting, balance sheet reconciliations, and revenue recognition

• The ability to trace a number from the source transaction through the financial statements and explain what happened

• Confidence working in accounting software and spreadsheets, including reconciling data across systems

• Careful judgment with confidential information and a habit of maintaining clear documentation

• Crisp communication, dependable follow-through, and the initiative to solve problems without waiting to be asked

Especially useful

• Experience with B2B SaaS or another subscription business

• Familiarity with deferred revenue, recurring-revenue metrics, billing systems, and sales commission calculations

• Experience improving a lean accounting operation and working with outside accounting partners
