## Job Description
## Close Execution
- Support periodic close processes, ensuring precise reporting.

## Workflow Ownership
- Entirely own accounts payable and procurement operations, ranging from vendor management and invoice processing to final payment execution.

## Audit Readiness
- Assist seamlessly with financial statement audits and proactively maintain deep financial systems knowledge.

## Process Optimization
- Continuously identify, design, and implement smart process improvements to increase the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of accounting operations.

## Internal Controls
- Actively support the documentation, design, and daily adherence to internal controls, keeping Cape in a continuously SOX-ready reporting posture.

## Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner effectively across the aisle with Finance/Data, Telco, and Product teams, as well as external vendors to resolve workflow bottlenecks.

## Data Integrity & Scale
- Master the hygiene and optimization of complex financial datasets. Design automated validation frameworks to scrub unstructured sub-ledgers and rectify missing inputs, establishing a high-fidelity, definitive source of truth.

## Requirements
- 2–4 years of relevant accounting experience within a Big 4 accounting firm, consulting, or a fast-paced tech/SaaS environment.
- Strong core systems knowledge, with a strong preference for hands-on experience using Ramp.
- Demonstrated ability to thrive inside high-growth, dynamic environments while cleanly managing competing priorities and tight deadlines.
- Clear track record of looking at status-quo processes, identifying inefficiencies, and independently driving optimization.
- Meticulous organizational skills with a history of successfully owning large projects end-to-end alongside recurring daily workflows.

## Competencies
- Technical mastery of foundational accounting principles (GL, accruals, close optimization) and financial software ecosystem structures (specifically QBO, Ramp).
- Exceptional precision in data entry, documentation, and reconciliation. Ability to catch small discrepancies before they hit financial statements.
- Anticipates workflow friction; actively builds and refines simplified, scalable solutions for transaction processing rather than just managing manual work.
- Practical understanding of internal controls, risk mitigation, and documentation structures required to maintain a SOX-ready reporting environment.
- Clear, effective verbal and written communication styles. Easily translates financial requirements or bottlenecks to non-finance stakeholders (Telco, Product) and external vendors.
- Comfortably handles shifting priorities in a high-growth environment. Successfully balances long-term optimization projects with strict, recurring close deadlines without getting overwhelmed.

- 401(k) match
- 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision premiums for you and your dependents
