[Hiring] Accountant @Aikido Security

Role Description

We're hiring a US Accountant to own day-to-day accounting for our US entity as we build a public-company-ready finance function. You'll run the US close, keep the books audit-ready under US GAAP, and help put the controls and reporting in place that an IPO requires.

• Run the monthly and quarterly close for the US entity: journal entries, accruals, prepaids, fixed assets and balance sheet reconciliations
• Account for SaaS subscription revenue under ASC 606, including deferred revenue and contract review with the revenue team
• Manage intercompany transactions and reconciliations with our Belgian parent, and support US GAAP to IFRS reporting for group consolidation
• Own US payables and receivables processes, vendor setup, 1099 reporting and sales tax filings, working with outside advisors
• Document processes and run internal controls as we build toward SOX compliance
• Prepare schedules and answer requests for the annual audit and quarterly reviews
• Help roll out our new ERP and automate manual steps in the close
• Support FP&A with clean actuals and variance explanations

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
• 2–5 years of accounting experience, split across Big 4 audit and/or in-house roles
• Public company experience: SEC registrant in-house, or auditing SEC registrants
• Experience in tech or SaaS, including subscription revenue under ASC 606
• Solid US GAAP knowledge and hands-on month-end close experience
• Working knowledge of SOX controls and documentation
• Strong Excel skills and comfort working in an ERP
• Clear written communication; you'll work daily with a team in Belgium

Requirements

• Bonus if you have:
• CPA, or working toward it
• IPO readiness or first-year SOX experience
• Multi-entity accounting with a foreign parent, intercompany and FX
• Exposure to IFRS
• ERP implementation experience (e.g. NetSuite) and billing tools such as Stripe
• Cybersecurity or developer-tools industry background

Benefits

• Build the US accounting function early, with real ownership from day one
• Get hands-on IPO readiness work: SOX, audit, ERP and technical accounting
• Small, senior finance team where your work reaches the CFO directly
• Fast-growing security company with teams in Belgium and the US
• Short decision lines. Big ownership. Shape the projects that matter and ship fast.
• Grow as fast as we do. Take on more, own more, and carve out your own path.
• Top-tier tech pay and equity.
• High trust, strong values, zero corporate BS.
• Flexibility in working hours.
• A company that sticks to its values in an open and informal atmosphere.
• We hire for talent, drive, and potential. Everything else is noise.
