Job Description
Accounting Manager managing the monthly close and AP/AR workflows in a fintech startup. Driving automation and ERP selection while collaborating with finance and executive teams.
Responsibilities:
- Step into the monthly close, meet the existing calendar, and publish a current-state read on what is clean, what is manual, and where automation will move the needle first
- Take ownership of AP/AR from the VP of Finance and identify the top automation opportunities across the stack
- Learn our tooling end-to-end—QuickBooks Online, Rippling, Sequence HQ —and form a point of view on ERP requirements
- Build relationships with the Head of FP&A, People, Legal, Engineering and map the accounting touchpoints across each of their workflows
- Partner with the Head of FP&A to complete ERP selection and kick off implementation
- Ship the first wave of automation wins—reconciliations, accruals, AP routing—measurably reducing manual effort in close and month-to-month operations
- Formalize and document the accounting policies that are currently tribal knowledge (prepaid amortization, fixed assets, materiality thresholds, revenue recognition)
- Run a clean, predictable monthly close that the rest of the business trusts and uses
- Deliver the ERP implementation and a post-migration close that is faster, cleaner, and more automated than what came before
- Lead the next audit cycle end-to-end with a well-managed PBC process and a strong auditor relationship
- Build the roadmap for the next phase of the function—tooling, headcount, and process—as Clutch continues to scale
- Have moved the accounting function toward a best-in-class benchmark in fintech, measured in close speed, audit readiness, and degree of automation
Requirements:
- 6+ years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 2 years in a manager or lead role
- ERP implementation experience—you have led or been a core driver on at least one ERP selection and go-live
- Hands-on ownership of a monthly close process (you have been the one pushing the button, not just a contributor)
- Experience running a financial statement audit end-to-end—PBC ownership, auditor relationship, and defending judgment calls
- Fluency in modern accounting automation—you seek out tooling that removes manual work rather than adding to it
- Strong technical accounting foundation: US GAAP, revenue recognition (ASC 606), equity, and multi-state compliance
- Proficiency in QuickBooks Online or comparable ERP, and comfort navigating a modern fintech stack (Rippling, Sequence HQ, Salesforce)
- High bar for documentation and process—you write the runbooks so others can follow them
- Excellent communication—you can explain accounting concepts to non-finance stakeholders without jargon
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
Benefits:
- Remote Flexibility: Enjoy the freedom of remote work from anywhere, balancing life and career seamlessly.
- Unforgettable Off-Sites: Twice a year, bond with colleagues in exciting destinations, fostering teamwork and fresh ideas.
