> Leads technical accounting and financial reporting for audit and IPO readiness at a voice AI company, owning GAAP statements, ASC topics like revenue recognition and equity comp, external audits, and SOX preparation. Requires CPA, 8+ years experience, AI fluency, and scripting comfort.

## Job Description

## What You'll Do

- Own technical accounting across revenue recognition (ASC 606), stock-based compensation and equity transactions (ASC 718), capitalized software (internal-use and software to be sold), leases (ASC 842), business combinations (ASC 805), and complex financing instruments.
- Own GAAP financial statement preparation and footnote disclosures from the ground up, including MD&A and registration disclosures.
- Quarterback the external audit — build the policy library, stand up the PBC process, and serve as the primary technical point of contact for auditors. Defend positions independently.
- Scope and manage external technical accounting advisors — direct their work, decide when to bring them in versus execute in-house, and hold them to standards.
- Own the relationship with valuation specialists on 409As, purchase price allocations, and intangible asset valuations.
- Partner with tax advisors on international transfer pricing and intercompany accounting.
- Lay the foundation for SEC reporting (S-1, 10-K, 10-Q) and SOX readiness — design workflows, controls, and calendars.
- Develop and document accounting policies that are clear, defensible, and scalable.
- Leverage AI aggressively — for research, memo drafting, tie-outs, disclosure benchmarking, and workflow automation — and build your own tooling.
- Build the team as we scale.

## What You'll Need

- Active CPA, with a strong Big 4 or national firm foundation.
- 8+ years of progressive experience in technical accounting and/or financial reporting, with deep fluency in US GAAP.
- Hands-on technical range across revenue (606), equity comp (718), leases (842), and business combinations (805) — you can take on a gnarly issue and come back with a defensible memo you drafted yourself.
- Experience preparing GAAP financial statements and footnotes from scratch, not just reviewing them.
- Experience managing external auditors and external accounting consultants — you know how to scope, direct, and push back.
- A builder's instinct — comfort with ambiguity, no waiting for playbooks, strong bias to ship.
- A demonstrated AI-native working style — you use LLMs daily for drafting, research, and analysis, and can talk concretely about what these tools do well and where they fall short for accountants.
- Strong written and verbal communication — you can translate technical accounting for non-accountants without losing precision.
- Comfort vibe-coding small scripts or automations (Python, SQL, etc.) to accelerate your own work.
- High integrity, high ownership, low ego.

## It Would Be Great If You Had

- Prior experience preparing a company for its first external audit.
- Prior experience taking a company public (S-1, IPO readiness, first 10-K).
- Capitalized software accounting experience in a SaaS or AI business.
- Experience coordinating with valuation specialists on 409As, PPAs, or intangible asset valuations.
- Exposure to international transfer pricing or intercompany accounting.
- Working knowledge of Workiva, NetSuite, FloQast, or similar tools — and strong opinions about them.

## Benefits & Perks

- Holistic health: Medical, dental, vision benefits; Annual wellness stipend; Mental health support; Life, STD, LTD Income Insurance Plans.
- Work/life blend: Unlimited PTO; Generous paid parental leave; Flexible schedule; 12 Paid US company holidays; Quarterly personal productivity stipend; One-time stipend for home office upgrades.
- Financial: 401(k) plan with company match; Tax Savings Programs.
- Continuous learning: Learning / Education stipend; Participation in talks and conferences; Employee Resource Groups; AI enablement workshops / sessions.
