About The Role

We’re hiring an Accounting Manager who owns the close and builds the system behind it.

This is a high-ownership, systems-focused role for someone who:

• Runs a clean, predictable close
• Sees inefficiencies and eliminates them
• Builds scalable processes that reduce manual work
• Operates independently and improves everything they touch

You won’t just maintain accounting operations—you’ll modernize them.

We are in the middle of an ERP buildout (Campfire) and actively working toward a faster, more automated close (goal: sub-3 day, long-term 1-day close). This role will be central to that transformation.

This is a strong fit for someone who wants to:

• Move beyond “doing the close” → designing the close
• Own systems, not just outputs
• Be a force multiplier in a lean environment

This is a hybrid role out of our San Francisco office — currently three days per week, with the expectation that in-office time may evolve.

Systems & Process Design

• Play a key role in ERP implementation and ongoing optimization (Campfire)
• Build scalable workflows and documentation

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• 6+ years of progressive accounting experience
• Demonstrated ownership of or significant responsibility for month-end close

• Strong understanding of US GAAP
• Systems-minded—you think in workflows, not tasks
• Comfortable in a lean, high-autonomy environment
• Proactive, detail-oriented, and bias toward fixing root causes
