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.
  • Paid Time Off: Enjoy flexible PTO days yearly for relaxation and rejuvenation.
  • Stock Options: Joining us means having a stake in our success, so you'll receive stock options as part of your compensation package.
  • Home Office Setup: Create your ideal workspace with a dedicated budget for home office essentials.
  • Work Trip Budget: Grow personally and professionally with a budget for work-related trips and co-working.
  • Health Coverage: Prioritize your well-being with comprehensive health and dental insurance plans.
