As Staff Accountant, you'll be the day-to-day engine of our accounting operations. You'll own accounts payable end to end, drive a meaningful share of the month-end close, and help build the reconciliations, schedules, and documentation that keep a fast-growing SaaS business audit-ready.

This is a hands-on role at an early-stage finance function, so you'll get broad exposure: multi-entity consolidation, usage-based revenue, and sales tax compliance, with room to take on more as the company scales.

Duties

Month-End Close & General Ledger

• Prepare and post journal entries for accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, payroll, and other recurring areas.

• Own assigned balance sheet reconciliations, including cash, prepaids, accruals, and intercompany, with clear support and documented explanations for open items.

• Maintain supporting schedules (prepaid amortization, fixed assets and depreciation, accrual rollforwards) and keep them tied to the GL.

• Assist with flux and variance analysis on close deliverables, flagging unexpected movements before reporting goes out.

• Help tighten the close calendar and document procedures as processes mature.

Accounts Payable & Disbursements

• Own the AP cycle: vendor onboarding, invoice intake and coding, approval routing, and payment runs.

• Manage corporate card and employee expense reporting, including policy compliance and receipt substantiation.

• Reconcile the AP subledger to the GL and manage the accrual for unbilled vendor activity at period end.

• Maintain vendor records, W-9s, and 1099 reporting.

Compliance & Tax Support

• Support US sales tax compliance: nexus monitoring, registrations, filings, and exemption certificate management.

• Assist with state and local registrations and annual filings as we expand.

• Prepare schedules and pull support for external tax preparers and advisors.

• Support intercompany transaction recording and reconciliation between our US and non-US entities. Work with external and internal entity stakeholders.

Systems, Process & Cross-Functional

• Work in our ERP and connected systems day to day, helping improve data quality and automate manual steps.

• Partner with GTM, Marketing, Engineering, HR and Operations on vendor, contract, and expense questions.

• Take on ad hoc analysis and project work as the finance function builds out.

Skills

• 4+ years of accounting experience, ideally a mix of public accounting or in-house at a technology or SaaS company.

• Working knowledge of US GAAP and the accrual close cycle.

• Hands-on experience owning AP and account reconciliations.

• Comfort in an ERP (NetSuite, Rillet, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, or similar).

• Able to work through large data exports in Excel or Sheets — pivots, lookups, tying subledger detail back to the GL.

• Comfortable using and implementing AI tools and solutions

• Clear written communication and comfort working cross functionally

Nice to Haves

• CPA License

• Experience working with non-US entities, preferably in Germany or The Netherlands.

• Exposure to SaaS or usage-based billing and deferred revenue.

• Experience with multi-entity environments, intercompany activity, or consolidations.

• Familiarity with sales tax automation tools Anrok or an ERP implementation.

• Experience at a startup where processes were still being built.
