About Our Client

We’re partnering with our client, a well-established and growing SaaS company, on their search for a Corporate Accounting Manager. Our client is a stable, profitable business known for strong benefits and a collaborative accounting organization that’s expanding to keep pace with the company’s growth.

Why This Role Exists

This is a newly created position, added because of growth, not a replacement. Our client’s Corporate Accounting function is expanding its capacity and technical depth, and this hire will work alongside an experienced, well-established Corporate Accounting Manager while reporting to the Senior Director, Assistant Controller. That gives the incoming hire two strong accounting leaders to learn from and collaborate with as they build toward greater ownership and independence in their own area.

Role Overview

This is a broad corporate accounting role with substantial technical responsibility. This is an individual contributor position, not a people-management role: you’ll own significant areas of corporate accounting, play a key part in the close process, and work cross-functionally across the business. The corporate accounting team is responsible for roughly 90% of the P&L through month-end close (revenue, commissions, tax, and international accounting sit outside this role’s primary scope).

Key Responsibilities

• Own significant portions of corporate accounting and the monthly close, including accruals, reconciliations, and financial statement support.
• Manage accounting for fixed assets, leases, cost capitalization, allocations, cash accounting, and insurance-related accounting (including IBNR).
• Support or coordinate on relevant AP, AR, and payroll accounting activities as responsibilities evolve.
• Review complex accounting analyses and ensure technical accuracy within your areas of ownership.
• Identify and drive process improvements and efficiencies across corporate accounting.
• Partner closely with business stakeholders across departments.
• Support external audit activities and participate in the implementation of a new AI-enabled accounting tool.

Month-End Close

The close is fast-paced and requires strong organization and technical skill: close in roughly six business days, review activity around day eight, and reconciliations completed by around day ten. You’ll need to understand the close process thoroughly and be capable of reviewing complex work independently.

Ideal Candidate

Our client is open to candidates coming from public accounting or industry. A CPA and public accounting background are a plus but not required; what matters most is a strong technical accounting foundation and a genuine ability to take ownership of complex work. What matters most:

• A strong technical accounting foundation and experience with complex accounting issues and financial statement preparation.
• Solid understanding of month-end close and reconciliations, with the ability to independently review and evaluate accounting analyses.
• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills, with proactive ownership and follow-through.
• Ability to operate in a busy, deadline-driven accounting environment and work cross-functionally across the business.

Backgrounds we’d love to see: Senior Accountants or Corporate Accounting professionals from industry with strong technical depth; public accounting candidates with strong technical experience; and candidates from SaaS, technology, or other complex corporate accounting environments.

Why You’ll Love This Role

A newly created role with real ownership from day one, built to add technical depth as the team grows. Direct mentorship from two experienced accounting leaders. Broad, meaningful responsibility across corporate accounting and the close process. Exposure to complex technical accounting areas and the chance to help implement a new AI-enabled accounting tool. Regular visibility and interaction with departments across the business. A stable, established SaaS company with strong benefits, fully remote across the continental U.S. Room to grow professionally as the function evolves.
