About the Role  

Armada AI is building the next generation of edge infrastructure and AI systems — and we need exceptional finance talent to match. As Technical Accounting Manager, you will serve as the right hand to the Director of Technical Accounting, driving complex US GAAP research, owning key components of audit readiness, and partnering cross-functionally to ensure our accounting framework keeps pace with rapid business growth.

This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for a technically sharp accountant who thrives in fast-moving environments and wants to grow into a senior leadership position.

 

Location. This role is remote-based on the continental US.  

 

Main responsibilities: 

Technical Accounting Research & Memos

  • Lead and execute complex US GAAP research across key areas including ASC 606 (revenue recognition), ASC 842 (leases), ASC 718 (stock-based compensation), and ASC 340-40 (sales commissions).
  • Draft and review technical accounting position papers and memoranda, with clear conclusions and audit-defensible rationale.
  • Monitor emerging standards (FASB and SEC) and assess applicability and impact to Armada's business model.
  • Support the Director in evaluating accounting implications of new products, business models, and strategic transactions including M&A, equity financings, and international expansion.

 

Audit Readiness & SOX Compliance

  • Own the preparation of audit-ready financial statement schedules, account reconciliations, and supporting workpapers for interim and year-end external audit cycles.
  • Collaborate with external auditors on technical accounting and financial reporting matters, responding to auditor inquiries and managing PBC (prepared-by-client) deliverable lists.
  • Prepare process walkthroughs and build control frameworks for future SOX compliance.
  • Identify control deficiencies or gaps and drive remediation efforts in coordination with Internal Audit and the broader Finance team.
  • Support the preparation of financial statement footnote disclosures in accordance with US GAAP and SEC regulations.

 

Policy Development & Implementation

  • Assist in drafting, maintaining, and operationalizing corporate accounting policies to ensure consistent application across the global organization.
  • Translate complex accounting standards into clear, practical guidance for non-accounting stakeholders.
  • Drive implementation of new accounting standards, coordinating with systems, operations, and FP&A teams to ensure smooth adoption.

 

Cross-Functional Partnership

  • Collaborate with Engineering, Product, Legal, and Tax teams to assess accounting implications of new initiatives prior to execution — including novel AI/edge product structures and international launches.
  • Partner with FP&A and Corporate Development to ensure deal economics and business model changes are correctly reflected in the financial statements.
  • Build trusted relationships with operational stakeholders to proactively surface and resolve accounting issues before they become audit findings.

 

 Team Leadership & Development

  • Create a culture of technical excellence, intellectual curiosity, and continuous improvement within the technical accounting function.
  • Provide training and guidance on US GAAP topics and company accounting policies to the broader Finance and Accounting organization.

 

 

Qualifications: 

  • 6-8 years of progressive accounting experience, with demonstrated technical accounting depth.
  • Public accounting experience required; Big 4 Accounting experience is strongly preferred.
  • Deep, hands-on knowledge of US GAAP, with particular expertise in ASC 606, ASC 842, ASC 718, and ASC 340-40.
  • Direct experience with public SEC filers.
  • Demonstrated experience preparing or reviewing technical accounting memos and position papers.
  • Experience supporting external audits (preparation of workpapers, audit liaison, PBC management).
  • Solid understanding of SOX compliance requirements, internal controls design, and testing.
  • CPA license required.

 

 

Preferred Qualifications: 

  • Experience at a high-growth technology, SaaS, or infrastructure company.
  • Familiarity with multi-national consolidations and international accounting considerations.
  • Exposure to M&A accounting, purchase price allocations (ASC 805), or equity transaction accounting.
  • Prior experience in a pre-IPO or IPO-readiness environment.
  • Proficiency in NetSuite or similar ERP; comfort with BI/reporting tools.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
