• Partner cross-functionally with FP&A, Legal, Tax, People, and Product to evaluate accounting implications of new products, contracts, and strategic initiatives
• Support external financial reporting, including preparation and review of disclosures, footnotes, and tie-outs for quarterly and annual financial statements
• Play a key role in IPO readiness activities, including S-1 preparation, SEC comment responses, and coordination with external advisors
• Liaise with external auditors on technical accounting positions, ensuring issues are identified early and resolved efficiently
• Design, implement, and maintain scalable accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls to support a public-company operating model
• Identify accounting and reporting risks proactively and recommend solutions that balance technical compliance with business practicality
• Provide review, coaching, and mentorship to junior team members, elevating overall team capability and execution quality
• Support ongoing SOX readiness and control documentation related to technical accounting and financial reporting processes
• Stay current on emerging accounting standards and SEC developments, assessing impact and leading implementation efforts as needed

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in accounting, finance, or business administration

• Ability to navigate ambiguity, multitask, and handle non-routine requests
• Clear, confident communicator who can influence without authority
