Job Summary

Head of Accounting leads in-house accounting for a high-growth AI startup, owning close, order-to-cash, ERP selection, and implementation, while designing scalable processes and controls to support rapid expansion.
Location: San Francisco
Workplace: Hybrid
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Finance & Accounting

Key Responsibilities

  • •Own close: Run the monthly close end-to-end — journal entries, reconciliations, financial statements — with accuracy and improving speed over time. Establish a close calendar and repeatable processes that get tighter every month.
  • •Build the accounting foundation: Design and document accounting policies, internal controls, and workflows from the ground up with the Head of Finance. There is a lot of white space, which is both the challenge and the opportunity.
  • •Lead order-to-cash: Own the full cycle from invoicing through collections — working cross-functionally with Sales and Customer Success to ensure accuracy, reduce time-to-payment, and flag issues early.
  • •Drive ERP selection and implementation: Evaluate our current tools and lead the process of selecting and implementing the right ERP for where we're going. Bring a systems-thinking mindset — understand what integrates well, what will scale, and what the real cost of switching will be later.
  • •Identify and adopt the right AI finance tools (including our own): We build AI for a living — we expect our own finance function to use it intelligently. Proactively identify where AI-powered tools can eliminate manual work and improve accuracy.
  • •Prepare us for our first audit: Own audit readiness end-to-end: building audit-ready workpapers, managing the relationship with external auditors, and ensuring we can move through our first audit efficiently and cleanly.
  • •Support strategic decisions: Partner with the Head of Finance on financial analysis, diligence support, and any corporate development activity.
  • •Ensure compliance: Own tax filings (federal, state, local), entity-level compliance, and any relevant regulatory requirements.
