About this role
Metabase’s BizOps & Finance team is looking to add to our team with a high-performer who can own our accounting and tax function. Our bookkeeping and tax accounting are outsourced, so this will require managing and overseeing external accounting firms. This role will require wearing many hats: digging deep into our financials to ensure accuracy of our month-end books, project managing our audit and tax initiatives, and systematizing key elements of our financial operations.
The role will offer significant exposure to the financial management of a rapidly growing company, and the opportunity to own and scale our accounting functions. We are a small team, so you should be prepared to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in where you are needed.
Responsibilities
- General ledger & close — manage and review the month-end close (run today through external accountants); investigate and resolve discrepancies
- Audit — own the external auditor relationship; coordinate information requests internally; investigate and resolve issues that surface
- Tax — manage external tax accountants; handle direct execution like new-state registrations and payments
- Accounts payable & expenses — run the payment cycle; own and troubleshoot the corporate card / expense system
- Over time — lead implementation of new systems (ERP, rev rec, payments); potentially build an in-house close process
About You
- Seasoned accountant with an active CPA
- Expertise with US GAAP, SaaS revenue recognition, stock based compensation, multi-entity / international accounting
- Owned full-cycle month end close / quarter end close processes and managed audits end-to-end
- Prior experience in a startup and / or big 4 audit a plus
- Undergraduate qualification in accounting, finance, or a rigorous quantitative field
- Strong investigative skills - you spot when something is off and can reconstruct what happened
- High bar for accuracy, with exacting attention to detail and little tolerance for errors
- Strong organizational skills - you can keep multiple streams of work running in parallel
- Low ego attitude - you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in
- Based in the US
We're a global team (50% outside the US), fully distributed (from Thailand to California), who get things done asynchronously, with plenty of uninterrupted time, supporting each other to do the best work of our careers. We offer flexibility (define your own schedule and work from wherever you want), autonomy, and an environment that fosters growth, learning, and development. We're relentlessly user-focused and believe in building long-term value, not short-term hacks. And we raised a $30M Series B to take our approach to the next level for years to come.
