Engine - Accounting Manager
Requirements
• CPA strongly preferred. • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, with manager-level ownership over complex close processes in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. • Strong technical accounting foundation, especially in ASC 606 and revenue recognition. • Demonstrated experience building or deploying AI/automation tools to reduce manual accounting work. This is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have. • Experience working with large, complex datasets to validate accounting outcomes, investigate discrepancies, and support scalable close processes.Strong judgment in ambiguous situations: you move quickly, explain your reasoning clearly, and back your decisions with documentation. • Strong ability to collaborate with product and data engineers — you understand how systems work well enough to ask the right questions, identify gaps, and ensure accounting requirements are built in, not bolted on. • Start-to-finish ownership mentality — you don't leave work in someone else's inbox. You close the loop. • Strong business acumen: you understand the economics behind the numbers, not just how to post the entry. • Self-directed: you surface problems with proposed solutions attached, escalate the right things at the right time, and manage multiple deliverables to completion under deadline pressure. • Proficiency in NetSuite or comparable ERP. • 2+ years at a regional or Big Four audit firm. • Experience with Looker, Hex, or similar data platforms. • Experience with Salesforce or similar CRMs. • Familiarity with close management tools and pre-close workflow design. • Evergreen Status: • We accept applications for this role on an ongoing basis. We review applications as they are received and encourage interested candidates to apply early. • Applications for this role will be accepted through 10/23/26 or until the role is filled. We encourage you to apply early, as we may begin reviewing applications before the deadline. • The Engine Edge: Perks & CompensationWe believe in rewarding great work with great benefits:
Responsibilities
• Own month-end close across assigned GL areas — journal entries, reconciliations, and flux analysis — with a relentless focus on accuracy, speed, and reducing manual effort close-over-close. Key assigned areas include high-complexity, revenue-specific workflows across multiple business verticals. • Develop and maintain deep understanding of Engine's revenue model and business economics — enough to anticipate the accounting implications of product and commercial decisions before they hit the GL. • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Data Engineering, Finance, and Operations on accounting for new and evolving areas of the business — often before a playbook exists. Work directly with large, complex datasets to support accurate and complete accounting records, navigating and manipulating data across systems to drive close deliverables and substantiate positions. • Build and maintain automation workflows using AI tools (Claude, Gemini, Cowork, or equivalent) and reporting platforms to eliminate recurring manual work and compress close timelines. • Partner with the data team to investigate issues at root cause, assess full population impact, and implement solutions that hold up at scale. • Communicate accounting findings, data investigations, and process changes clearly to Finance, Product, and business leadership — translating complexity into actionable insight and empowering data-driven decisions. • Prepare timely, well-organized support for financial audits, quarterly close packages, and technical accounting memos.
