## Description

About the Role

We are a fractional CFO/COO firm that supports fast-growing startups and small businesses with finance, operations, and systems expertise. We are hiring an Accounting Manager who will be placed as a dedicated resource for one of our clients–an emerging adtech company founded by former Googlers.

This role manages day-to-day accounting operations (GL, AR/AP, reconciliations, month-end close), improves processes and tools, and contributes to financial visibility and reporting. As this will be the first Finance/Accounting role, this person should show the ability to contribute to and grow into Financial Planning & Analysis responsibilities.

This role has a strong analytical component.  We are looking for someone who can connect the numbers to the story, not just record them.

### Key Responsibilities

### Core Accounting

-   Record daily entries across AP, AR, payroll, reimbursements, and operating expenses.
-   Prepare and post adjusting journal entries (accruals, amortization, reclasses).
-   Own monthly reconciliations for bank accounts, credit cards, accruals, prepaid schedules, and other balance sheet accounts.
-   Lead a clean, timely month-end close; investigate and resolve discrepancies.
-   Prepare monthly financial statements (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) and supporting schedules.

### AR / AP & Cash Operations

-   Manage invoicing, contract-based billing, and maintain an accurate AR aging.
-   Process vendor bills, reimbursements, and recurring expenses.
-   Ensure timely payment runs aligned with cash priorities.
-   Maintain day-to-day cash visibility and assist with short-term cash forecasting.
-   Keep vendor and customer records current and accurate.
-   Support cash forecasting by analyzing timing of inflows/outflows and highlighting operational drivers of cash needs.

### Process & Tool Optimization

-   Improve accounting workflows and implement automations where possible.
-   Optimize use of tools such as QuickBooks, Xero, Bill.com, Ramp, Airbase, etc.
-   Strengthen financial controls, documentation, and review processes.
-   Pursue the zero day close.

### FP&A & Financial Analytics 

-   Support budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis.
-   Contribute to analytics such as margins, spend trends, customer profitability, and KPI reporting.
-   Assist leaders in setting revenue, cost, and hiring assumptions.
-   Connect actuals to forecasts, explaining what changed and why it matters.

### Qualifications

-   4-7+ years of accounting experience (GL, reconciliations, AR/AP, month-end close).
-   Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP and experience supporting U.S.-based companies.
-   Proficient in cloud accounting tools (QBO, Xero, Bill.com, Ramp, etc.).
-   Advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills.
-   Analytically oriented–able to interpret the numbers, not just prepare them.
-   Excellent English communication and strong attention to detail.
-   Able to work U.S. hours

### Nice-to-Have

-   CPA / CA / ACCA (or progress)
-   Experience working with startups or tech companies
-   Exposure to FP&A or dashboard/reporting tools.
