[Hiring] Accounting Manager @Clutch

Role Description

Clutch is hiring an Accounting Manager to step into a functioning accounting operation and drive its next chapter. Reporting to the VP of Finance, you will take ownership of the monthly close, our AP/AR workflows, and our audit—and partner with the Head of FP&A to select and implement our next ERP.

This is a high-ownership role for someone who believes great accounting is a design problem as much as a compliance one. You will co-lead the ERP selection and rollout, identify automation wins across reconciliations, close, and AP/AR, and codify the policies that will carry Clutch through the next several audit cycles.

If you are energized by the combination of strong technical accounting and modern tooling—and want to leave a footprint on systems and processes that scale—this is your seat.

What You’ll Do

• Within 3 months, you will:
  • Step into the monthly close, meet the existing calendar, and publish a current-state read on what is clean, what is manual, and where automation will move the needle first.
  • Take ownership of AP/AR from the VP of Finance and identify the top automation opportunities across the stack.
  • Learn our tooling end-to-end—QuickBooks Online, Rippling, Sequence HQ—and form a point of view on ERP requirements.
  • Build relationships with the Head of FP&A, People, Legal, Engineering and map the accounting touchpoints across each of their workflows.
• Within 6 months, you will:
  • Partner with the Head of FP&A to complete ERP selection and kick off implementation.
  • Ship the first wave of automation wins—reconciliations, accruals, AP routing—measurably reducing manual effort in close and month-to-month operations.
  • Formalize and document the accounting policies that are currently tribal knowledge (prepaid amortization, fixed assets, materiality thresholds, revenue recognition).
  • Run a clean, predictable monthly close that the rest of the business trusts and uses.
• Within 9 months, you will:
  • Deliver the ERP implementation and a post-migration close that is faster, cleaner, and more automated than what came before.
  • Lead the next audit cycle end-to-end with a well-managed PBC process and a strong auditor relationship.
  • Build the roadmap for the next phase of the function—tooling, headcount, and process—as Clutch continues to scale.
  • Have moved the accounting function toward a best-in-class benchmark in fintech, measured in close speed, audit readiness, and degree of automation.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 2 years in a manager or lead role.
• ERP implementation experience—led or been a core driver on at least one ERP selection and go-live.
• Hands-on ownership of a monthly close process.
• Experience running a financial statement audit end-to-end—PBC ownership, auditor relationship, and defending judgment calls.
• Fluency in modern accounting automation.
• Strong technical accounting foundation: US GAAP, revenue recognition (ASC 606), equity, and multi-state compliance.
• Proficiency in QuickBooks Online or comparable ERP, and comfort navigating a modern fintech stack (Rippling, Sequence HQ, Salesforce).
• High bar for documentation and process.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.

Nice to Have

• CPA license (or active pursuit).
• Big 4 or regional audit firm background.
• Prior experience at a venture-backed fintech or SaaS startup.
• Exposure to lending, credit, or regulated financial services.

Benefits

• Remote Flexibility: Enjoy the freedom of remote work from anywhere.
• Unforgettable Off-Sites: Twice a year, bond with colleagues in exciting destinations.
• Paid Time Off: Enjoy flexible PTO days yearly for relaxation and rejuvenation.
• Stock Options: Joining us means having a stake in our success.
• Home Office Setup: Create your ideal workspace with a dedicated budget for home office essentials.
• Work Trip Budget: Grow personally and professionally with a budget for work-related trips and co-working.
• Health Coverage: Prioritize your well-being with comprehensive health and dental insurance plans.
