About the Role:
The Accounting Manager will own day-to-day accounting operations (AR/AP/close), operate subscription accounting workflows in Maxio and QuickBooks Online, and lead the implementation and ongoing operation of Ramp for expense management and AP. You will improve process discipline and system integrity while producing timely, decision-grade reporting.
Role Responsibilities:
* Accounting Operations & Month-End Close
* Own month-end close activities, including journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and balance sheet integrity in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
* Maintain and improve consistent accounting controls and processes; document workflows to support audit readiness.
* Ensure financial data integrity by reconciling activity across multiple systems (e.g., HubSpot ↔ Maxio ↔ QBO) and investigating variances.
* Billing, AR, and Cash Application (SaaS)
* Operate and improve billing + AR workflows across Maxio (sub-ledger) and QBO, ensuring completeness, accuracy, and clean syncing.
* Manage invoicing, collections cadence, and cash application in a check-heavy AR environment (most customers pay by check).
* Support operational execution through peak seasonality (invoicing concentrated in Q3).
* AP, Expense Management, and Ramp Ownership
* Own Ramp setup and ongoing operations for expense management and AP: receipt/OCR capture, GL mapping rules, approval workflows, vendor management, and payment scheduling.
* Build scalable policies and workflows that enforce spend discipline, maintain audit trails, and improve operating efficiency.
* Reporting, Metrics, and Business Support
* Produce reliable monthly reporting packages and support leadership with clean, consistent reporting tied back to the GL.
* Help ensure commercial metrics and “business language” reconcile to accounting outputs; reduce manual spreadsheet dependency over time.
* Audit and External Partner Coordination
* Coordinate with external partners (e.g., bookkeeping/tax/audit providers) and maintain the documentation and schedules needed for timely audits and filings.
Requirements:
* 6–8+ years of progressive accounting experience.
* Previous SaaS experience.
* Hands-on QuickBooks Online (QBO) experience.
* Hands-on Maxio experience (billing workflows, rev rec sub-ledger operation, integrations, and reporting).
* Strong operational accounting capability: AR, AP, close ownership, reconciliations, and process improvement.
* Advanced Excel/Google Sheets proficiency for reconciliations, roll-forwards, and management reporting.
* Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment with deadlines; high attention to detail and follow-through.
Preferred Qualifications:
* Experience with growth-stage startups.
* Familiarity with internal controls and audit readiness, including supporting external audits.
* Experience with indirect/channel sales complexity (buying entity vs end customer; renewals attribution).
* K–12 market familiarity is helpful, but not required.
* Ramp experience (strongly preferred due to immediate ownership of expense/AP workflows).
Why This Role:
* Growth equity–backed company with leadership visibility and meaningful ownership from day one.
* Opportunity to modernize core accounting operations and systems (QBO + Maxio + Ramp) and build durable controls and reporting infrastructure.
* Clear pathway to Controller in 12–18 months for a candidate who demonstrates strong close leadership, systems ownership, and high-integrity reporting and controls.
