Обязанности
- We are looking for a Director, Assistant Controller to join a high-growth, pre-IPO SaaS company at a pivotal stage. This role is the operational backbone of our accounting function owning the month-end close, leading the external audit, and developing a high-performing team. The ideal candidate is a strong operational accountant who has built and run accounting functions in a SaaS environment and brings the maturity to execute.
- This is an execution-focused role for someone who takes pride in running a clean, efficient accounting function while bringing enough technical breadth to be a thought partner on complex accounting matters.
- You will report to the Controller and lead the core Accounting GL team. The role has a meaningful runway to grow into broader scope as the company grows.
- Lead the accounting function with the ability to define and implement an effective controllership framework that scales with the business
- Own the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close processes, maximizing the efficient use of resources to ensure timely and accurate results
- Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing accounting team, building a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and high performance
- Lead the year-end audit and serve as the primary point of contact for the external audit team, coordinating PBC requests, substantive testing, and audit committee deliverables
- Strengthen accounting policies, procedures, internal controls, and governance structures — carrying out regular reviews to ensure they remain effective as the company scales toward IPO readiness
- Partner with Controller on technical accounting matters including revenue recognition (ASC 606), internally developed capitalized software (ASC 350-40), and stock-based compensation (ASC 718)
- Drive process improvement initiatives, including AI tooling adoption, to keep systems and controls effective as the company scales
- Keep the Controller and CFO informed of key financial reporting activities, close status, and financial risks to the business
- Contribute to financial strategy and operational initiatives that support the company's growth objectives
Требования
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field required
- CPA designation required
- 8–10 years of progressive accounting experience; SaaS industry experience strongly preferred
- Demonstrated experience owning the month-end close and managing the external audit end-to-end
- Hands-on team management experience — you've hired, developed, and held people accountable
- Working knowledge of SaaS revenue recognition (ASC 606) — sufficient to review complex arrangements and identify issues that require escalation; familiarity with capitalized software (ASC 350-40) and equity accounting (ASC 718) is a meaningful differentiator
- Startup mindset — comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with ambiguity and shifting priorities; able to pivot quickly and roll up your sleeves as a preparer when needed
- Comfortable in a systems-intensive environment; experience with NetSuite, Zip, Stripe, or comparable platforms a plus
- Highly organized and detail-oriented, with strong problem-solving skills and the ability to proactively identify and resolve issues before they escalate
- Demonstrated ability to identify, implement, and improve financial systems, automation, and AI tooling that drive scalability and efficiency
- Proven track record of effective communication at all levels of the organization — clear, direct, and confident presenting to senior leadership
- High degree of self-awareness, humility, and collaborative instincts; this team values business partnership as much as technical rigor
- Candidates located in the Bay Area are strongly preferred
