Requirements
• Board and investor reporting (Controller provides the audited/GAAP numbers; Cameron contextualizes) • Fundraising data room (financial statements, cap table schedules, rev-rec memos, audit workpapers) • Financial systems roadmap (NetSuite upgrade, billing system consolidation) • Hiring the next layer of accounting staff (Senior Accountant, likely a 2027 hire) • CPA required. This person will own the audit relationship and sign off on technical memos. • 5–9 years of experience: Big 4 Controller or Senior Manager at a VC-backed SaaS company. • ASC 606 depth — must have personally built or owned rev-rec policy for a SaaS company with usage-based or consumption revenue. Subscription-only experience is insufficient given our credit/consumption model. • First audit experience — either taken a company through its first audit or managed the annual audit process at a Series B/C company. Comfortable as the primary counterparty to the auditors, not just a document preparer. • NetSuite experience — we are on or moving to NetSuite; prior implementation or heavy operating experience required. • Startup mentality — will be largely solo on the accounting side initially. Must be comfortable building the close process from scratch, writing the accounting policies, and doing the reconciliations themselves before eventually delegating. • OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU: • An opportunity to build something truly impactful to the world • Contribute to open source alongside world-class engineers
Responsibilities
• Monthly and quarterly close (full ownership — journal entries, reconciliations, flux analysis) • Revenue recognition policy and execution under ASC 606, including consumption/usage contracts, minimum commits, credit structures, and bundled offerings • Sales tax compliance: nexus study, Anrok/Avalara implementation, historical VDA process, ongoing accruals • Deferred revenue waterfall and RPO reporting • Audit relationship and annual audit execution (first audit likely FY2026 or FY2027) • Tax filings (federal, state income; R&D credit; 1099s) — managing external preparers • Equity accounting: ASC 718 stock comp expense, 409A coordination, option grant journal entries • Lease accounting: ASC 842 assessment on cloud infrastructure commitments (AWS/GCP CUDs that may qualify as embedded leases) • Billing system integrity: NetSuite/QuickBooks↔Metronome/Stripe reconciliation; ensuring recognized revenue ties to invoiced and collected amounts • Internal controls: designing and documenting controls sufficient for a first audit and eventual SOC 1/SOC 2 readiness
