United States, New York, New York
Feb 19, 2026
Accounting Manager
Location: Onsite NYC
Salary: $160,000-200,000
The Opportunity: Our client is in a state of hypergrowth, scaling rapidly and redefining their industry through AI-driven solutions. As the first Accounting Manager on the team, you won't just be managing the books-you will be the architect of the firm's global accounting infrastructure.
Reporting directly to the Controller, this is a hands-on leadership role for a technical expert who thrives on simplifying complexity, leveraging automation, and building "best-in-class" processes from the ground up.
The Mission
  • Build the Foundation: Design and oversee all core accounting functions, including the month-end close, journal entries, reconciliations, and full-cycle financial statement preparation.
  • System Architecture: Implement scalable financial systems and internal controls. You will lead the transition from early-stage workflows to robust, audit-ready policies.
  • Technical Leadership: Serve as the subject matter expert for technical accounting (ASC 606 Revenue Recognition, ASC 842, and Stock-Based Comp).
  • Operational Excellence: Modernize the Procure-to-Pay process, optimizing vendor onboarding, purchase approvals, and spend visibility.
  • Strategic Growth: Partner cross-functionally with the broader Finance and Ops teams to automate workflows and provide data-driven insights that inform executive decision-making.
The Profile
  • Experience: 6-8+ years of progressive accounting experience. A mix of Big Four public accounting and high-growth SaaS/Tech experience is highly preferred.
  • Credentials: Active CPA and a Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.
  • Technical Depth: Mastery of US GAAP and the ability to draft technical memos for complex areas.
  • The Tech Stack: High fluency with modern accounting software (NetSuite, QuickBooks) and SaaS billing tools. Stripe/Billing experience and SQL skills are significant advantages.
  • The Startup Mindset: You are comfortable with ambiguity, move at "rocket speed," and have a passion for using AI and technology to eliminate manual work.
