At Rula, we are a remote-first company that believes mental health is just as important as physical health. We recognize that mental health issues can be complex and multifaceted, and we are dedicated to treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.
We aim to create a world where mental health is no longer stigmatized or marginalized, but rather is embraced as an integral part of one's overall well-being.
We believe that by providing quality care that is both evidence-based and compassionate, we can empower individuals to take charge of their mental health and achieve their full potential. We are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of those struggling with mental health issues and we strive to be a force for positive change in the field of mental healthcare.
About the Role
We are seeking a Corporate Accounting Manager to strengthen Rula's Accounting team by taking on our more complex journal entries, including payroll, and helping make our monthly close faster, simpler, and easier to repeat as the business scales. In this role, you will support the month-end close, review colleagues' work where needed, and document and improve the processes behind our financials as we grow. You will work closely with the Sr. Corporate & Technical Accounting Manager and a small, collaborative team, with real room to shape how we work, including using automation and AI to cut down manual effort. If you enjoy bringing order to a fast-moving environment, this is a visible role where your ideas will be put to use.
Required Qualifications
6+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 2+ years in public accounting (audit or assurance)
Hands-on experience contributing to the monthly close in an industry setting, including preparing complex journal entries, account reconciliations, and flux analysis
Demonstrated experience designing, documenting, and improving accounting processes (for example shortening the close, reducing manual work, or strengthening controls)
Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and the ability to apply it to non-routine transactions
Experience working in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities, balancing recurring close deadlines with improvement projects, and the flexibility to move across areas of the team as needs change
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
Preferred Qualifications
While having the preferred qualifications enhances your candidacy, having all of them is not mandatory. We encourage all interested applicants to apply, even those who may not meet every preferred requirement.
Active CPA license
Experience at a high-growth, venture-backed, or pre-IPO company
Experience reviewing the work of other accountants and sharing knowledge with the team
Experience with close management, ERP, and spend tools (for example NetSuite, FloQast, Zip, Ramp, or similar), including automating manual work
Exposure to internal controls over financial reporting (SOX), audit coordination, or public company readiness
Experience preparing payroll journal entries across multiple entities, or with equity (stock-based compensation) or capitalized software accounting
