Accounting Manager

ABOUT NUMERAL:

Numeral is transforming how taxes get done. Digital businesses are currently bogged down by a painful web of regulations across 47 states and 70+ countries. We’re eliminating this burden so teams can focus on their core mission.

We’re the largest and fastest-growing AI-native tax solution. Started in 2023, Numeral has raised over $57M from Benchmark, Mayfield, Y-Combinator, and many others. We now serve over 3,000 paying customers and have more than tripled our revenue every year in our history.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

We’re hiring an Accounting Manager to help build the accounting foundation for Numeral’s next stage of growth. Reporting to our Controller, you’ll be a hands-on owner of the month-end close, core accounting operations, AR/AP, billing and invoicing workflows, balance sheet reconciliations, audit readiness, and finance systems improvements.

This is a high-impact role for someone who likes clean books, tight processes, and building from first principles. You’ll take meaningful work off the Controller’s plate while helping Numeral move from early-stage finance processes to a scalable, audit-ready accounting function.

You’ll be a great fit if you can both do the work yourself and build the process so the work gets easier, faster, and more reliable over time.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Own key parts of the monthly close process, including the close calendar, journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, flux analysis, and supporting schedules

• Prepare balance sheet reconciliations across cash, AR, AP, prepaid expenses, accruals, deferred revenue utilizing ASC 606, fixed assets, payroll-related accounts, and other GL accounts

• You’re comfortable leveraging AI to unblock yourself and create a process flow. The ideal candidate can problem solve and present solutions with minimal oversight

• Partner with the Controller to improve close quality, reduce manual work by leveraging AI and automations, and move toward a faster, more predictable monthly close

• Own AR, AP, billing, invoicing, and collections workflows, ensuring transactions are accurate, timely, and well documented

• Work cross-functionally with Sales and Customer Success to resolve billing questions, contract changes and collections matters

• Partner with the Controller on finance systems migration and audit preparedness

• Take on ad hoc projects as needed

WHAT YOU’LL BRING:

• 5–8+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally with a mix of public accounting and high-growth SaaS company experience. CPA license is a plus

• Strong working knowledge of US GAAP, ASC 606, subscription billing, and experience driving the month end close process in a fast paced company

• Knowledge to run the AR, AP, billing, invoicing, collections, and order-to-cash processes.

• Experience supporting audits and preparing clean, well-documented workpapers

• Strong systems orientation, with experience using ERPs and modern finance tools such as NetSuite, Rillet, Campfire, QuickBooks,Ramp, Brex, Stripe, Salesforce, HubSpot, or Orb

• Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills and comfort working with large datasets

• High attention to detail and a strong bias toward clean documentation, clear ownership, and repeatable processes

• Ability to operate in ambiguity, prioritize competing deadlines, and improve processes while still getting the close done

• Leveraging AI to build out workflows and speed up the close process

• Clear communication skills and the ability to work effectively with non-accounting stakeholders

• Low-ego, high-ownership operating style. You are comfortable rolling up your sleeves and doing the work

LOCATION:

• This role is hybrid (3 days a week in our SF office)

WHAT WE OFFER:

• Competitive salary and equity - you'll share directly in the company's success

• Full medical, dental, and vision coverage

• Wellness perks like Headspace and the Peloton One App

• 401(k) to help you build long-term financial security

• Relocation assistance to NYC or SF (if needed)

• Lunch and snacks when you're in the office
