About Hologram

Hologram is building the future of IoT connectivity, delivering internet access to millions of connected devices worldwide. We process over 5 billion transactions per month across our global infrastructure. This isn't just another app, it's the invisible backbone powering everything from fleet tracking to smart city infrastructure. We tackle challenges of scale, reliability, and performance that few companies face.

We're looking for a Lead Accountant to join our Finance team, owning the work that keeps close, compliance, and cash on track.

What makes a Hologrammer?

We look for people with insatiable curiosity and an uncompromising commitment to excellence. Hologrammers are the type who dig deeper when things break, ask 'why' before 'how,' and aren't satisfied until the solution is bulletproof.

You'll love working here if you:

Value tenacious ownership of outcomes: You don't just close the books, you understand why every number is what it is, chase down the exceptions, and leave a trail someone else could follow without asking you a single question.

Thrive on building the system, not just running it: Billions of transactions a month means usage-based revenue, multi-channel billing, and multi-state compliance that won't hold together on spreadsheets and memory. You find the manual work that shouldn't be manual and fix it.

Relentlessly pursue growth: You want visibility into how the business actually runs, and the range of work that comes with a small team. Finance at Hologram is changing fast, and so are we.

Lead Accountant

About this role:

The Lead Accountant owns the execution layer of Hologram's accounting function: the monthly close, balance sheet reconciliations, revenue recognition support under ASC 606, and the full corporate compliance calendar. Reporting to the Associate Controller, you'll run recurring close and reconciliation workstreams end-to-end with light oversight, not close supervision. You'll also own billing, collections, and daily cash across Stripe, Shopify, wire, and ACH for a usage-based business.

What You'll Do:

Close and reporting

  • Run the monthly close: journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, and GAAP financial statements, reviewed and signed off by the Associate Controller
  • Prepare revenue recognition support under ASC 606 across usage, hardware, and prepaid billing, and surface exceptions early
  • Prepare supporting schedules for the annual audit, corporate tax filings, and diligence requests, and manage the auditor request cycle
  • Prepare and file annual 1099s

Corporate compliance

  • Own the compliance calendar end to end, and build it into a system with named owners, real deadlines, and alerting
  • Manage Secretary of State annual reports, franchise tax, and local business licenses in partnership with our registered agent
  • Intake, log, and resolve state and local tax notices, including direct contact with agencies
  • Coordinate annual business insurance renewals with our broker and issue certificates of insurance to customers, vendors, and lessors
  • Complete statutory annual filings and surveys
  • Run point in yearly external audit
  • Document the work as you go, so every recurring obligation has a runbook someone else could follow

Billing, AR, and cash

  • Own collections end to end: AR aging, dunning, billing contact follow-up, and at-risk account escalation
  • Generate customer invoices across Stripe and Shopify, and manage billing schedules, credit memos, and billing adjustments
  • Manage prepaid top-ups, renewals, and prepaid-to-postpaid conversions
  • Execute daily cash application and bank reconciliation, and reconcile payments across Stripe, wire, and ACH
  • Process and route AP invoices, chase missing vendor invoices ahead of close, and keep vendor and customer billing records current
  • Resolve complex multi-team billing disputes and triage finance tickets in HelpScout and Linear within a 24-hour SLA

Process and systems

  • Find the manual work that shouldn't be manual and fix it, using the tools available and AI where it fits
  • Support the NetSuite implementation and ongoing optimization

What We're Looking For: 

  • 6+ years of progressive accounting experience
  • Experience owning full-cycle month-end close
  • Strong understanding of GAAP, with hands-on experience in revenue recognition, leases, and credit losses
  • Experience in a startup or high-growth environment where you built processes rather than inherited them
  • Comfortable owning a wide range of work rather than one narrow lane
  • Revenue recognition experience (ASC 606) in a usage-based or multi-element billing environment
  • Multi-state compliance experience: Secretary of State filings, franchise tax, and state and local tax notices
  • Experience supporting an external financial statement audit as a preparer
  • Experience making accounting processes faster and more reliable through automation and AI, without compromising controls or accuracy
  • Produces work that holds up without rework, catching your own errors before they reach review
  • Advanced Excel and comfort learning new systems quickly

Bonus Points:

  • Collections or billing experience at a SaaS or usage-based company
  • ERP implementation or migration experience (NetSuite preferred)
  • Experience standing up a compliance calendar or corporate compliance function

 

Role Compensation: $125,000 – $145,000 base salary + 12,750 RSUs

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.
