  • Own the accounting tech stack; evaluate, implement, and optimize tools (Xero, Plooto, and beyond) to eliminate manual effort and increase accuracy
  • Partner with Business Intelligence and Engineering to automate reconciliations, reporting, and close processes
  • Establish and maintain a continuous-improvement roadmap for the accounting function, tracking efficiency gains and reporting outcomes to leadership
  • Lead the FinOps best-practices group, working with team leads to govern and optimize variable usage-based costs such as cloud and infrastructure spend

Team Leadership & Stakeholder Management

  • Partner closely with FP&A on internal and investor reporting, ensuring accounting outputs are investor-ready
  • Serve as the primary accounting point of contact for external auditors, tax advisors, banking partners, and payment processors
  • Provide clear and timely financial reporting to the Accounting Director and executive team

What You Bring

  • CPA designation or actively pursuing CPA completion

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.
