⛳️ Requirements

• A minimum of 8 years of progressively responsible accounting experience, with significant time spent in the industry (not exclusively in public accounting).

• A combination of public accounting (Big 4 or a reputable mid-tier firm) and SaaS industry experience is ideal.

• Strong knowledge of ASC 606 revenue recognition as applied to SaaS contracts.

• Practical experience with US multi-state sales tax compliance (experience with Anrok is a plus).

• Experience in leading or significantly supporting an external audit.

• Comfortable as the senior accounting professional in a small, lean US environment – you know how to be hands-on.

• Demonstrated interest in or hands-on utilization of AI tools to enhance finance workflows.

• Strong judgment on escalation matters, including when to escalate and the required level of supporting analysis – you provide options and recommendations rather than open-ended questions.
