About the role

We're looking for a Senior Manager, Accounting to take significant ownership across Ema's accounting operation as the company scales. Reporting directly to the CFO, and with a growth path to Controller, you'll be responsible for major portions of the accounting close, financial reporting, technical accounting, audit process, and accounting infrastructure. This is a hands-on, builder role: you'll execute the work while continuously improving the processes, systems, controls, and automation behind it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Deep working knowledge of US GAAP, with 5-7+ years of experience in SaaS or usage-based revenue businesses, including revenue recognition complexity under ASC 606
  • Direct experience with multi-entity financial reporting and consolidation
  • A track record of evaluating and deploying ERP or accounting systems, and genuine fluency with AI tools as part of your everyday accounting workflow
  • Experience owning or significantly contributing to the auditor relationship and leading a financial statement audit from planning through completion
  • CPA required, public accounting background a plus
  • Comfort operating without a large team around you: you will build and improve the function, not simply manage an established process
