Lead the preparation of periodic financial statements for management, investors, and auditors. Drive internal Budget v Actual reporting to members of the leadership team, and, in conjunction with the CFO, update the Company’s financial model, test assumptions, and support forecasts. Manage the Company’s finance systems, including NetSuite, Bill, Avalara, and related tools, ensuring accurate data flow, integration, and system utilization. Develop, document, and implement efficient internal controls, scalable processes, and continuous improvements to workflows and reconciliations across all finance functions. Responsible for tax filings, sales/use tax, and regulatory compliance in partnership with external advisors. Manage external audit, tax, and valuation providers and associated audit and compliance activities. Own cash management and risk management policies and enforcement.

Mastery of NetSuite, Bill, and related accounting/finance systems. Demonstrated experience with complex contracting, invoicing, and revenue recognition — customers with multiple concurrent SOWs, mixed revenue types, and shifting delivery timeframes — and the ability to get their arms completely around the contract-to-revenue lifecycle. Track record of designing and driving accounting and operational process change, ideally in high-growth/PE/start-up environments.
