[Hiring] Accounting Manager @Bland

Role Description

The current finance team is small and nimble. This is our first internal accounting hire where you will have the ability to make an outsized impact on accounting processes, policies, and reporting. You will have ownership of the accounting close, partnering with our external providers, with the goal to deliver seamless, accurate, and consistent reporting standards. You will be a thought partner to other leaders across the company to enhance internal tooling and reporting.

The right person for this role is someone who is interested in building processes, implementing tooling, willing to roll up their sleeves to dive into the details, and can operate in a fast-paced environment.

• Responsible for ensuring the monthly close is done consistently and timely each month.
• Partner with external providers on monthly close procedures and reconciliations.
• Collaborate with department leaders on ensuring proper expense tagging, allocations, and reporting.
• Prepare the reporting package once the close is complete.
• Experience with revenue recognition (ASC 606) is a must; knowledge of usage-based recognition is nice to have.
• Build out revenue reporting processes with newly implemented tooling to drive automation of both self-serve and enterprise lines of business.
• Oversee day-to-day accounting operations: AP, vendor management, accounting policies, sales tax, and 1099s.
• Implement internal controls appropriate for the company's size and maintain documentation for audit readiness.
• Establish a world-class accounting function that delivers value across the company.

Qualifications

• Operational experience and deep knowledge of revenue and the broader accounting close.
• Experience with financial audits and understanding of internal controls.
• Knowledge of accounting tooling and systems.
• Ability to build strong reporting processes to handle a high volume of transactions.
• Experience working with unstructured data with strong knowledge of spreadsheet formulas and tooling.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and chaotic startup environments.
• Pride in unglamorous work and attention to small details.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related track.
• 4+ years of accounting experience across public accounting, senior accountant, or accounting manager roles.
• Hands-on ownership of month-end close and account reconciliations.
• ASC 606 revenue recognition experience.
• Audit experience — prepared PBC support and workpapers and worked in those tools.
• Highly self-directed — does not need heavy management or a fully built playbook to be effective.

Nice-to-Have Experience

• CPA or progress toward one.
• Experience working with external partners in tax and accounting.
• Experience in a finance or accounting role at a high-growth startup.

Benefits

• Salary range is $90,000 to $140,000 depending on experience.
• Equity range is $50,000 to $150,000.
• Health insurance, dental, vision, and a 401K is provided.
• Unlimited PTO.
