What Makes You Stand Out

You are a detail-oriented and dependable accounting professional who takes pride in accuracy and organization, and you enjoy bringing structure to financial processes and ensuring that everything ties out cleanly. You’re excited to learn, and comfortable with change, especially in a fast-moving startup environment where a strong work ethic is required.

You balance technical accounting knowledge with strong ethics, communicate proactively, and have an ownership mindset. You’re a team player who seeks to develop strong working relationships with colleagues. You welcome the opportunity to grow within a collaborative finance team and contribute to building scalable, technology-forward processes.

How You’ll Make An Impact

As an Accountant at Surefire Cyber, you will play a key role in strengthening our financial operations and ensuring accuracy across accounting activities. Partnering directly with the Controller, you will handle the accounting work that keeps the business running smoothly, including invoicing, accounts payable, accruals and expenses to support our month-end close process. You will also gain exposure to revenue recognition and help support financial reporting to stakeholders, various accounting and finance projects, and compliance efforts.

This is a new role created to support our growing organization, where you’ll help strengthen our accounting processes, improve internal controls, and identify opportunities to make our operations more efficient as we continue to scale.

Your Role In Action

• Help prepare financial statements and support revenue recognition activities
• Maintain and strengthen internal controls to safeguard company assets and ensure policy compliance
• Coordinate with external partners for audits, tax filings, and 1099 reporting and help support our completion of these compliance activities, including the compilation of documentation for audit and tax purposes
• Work closely with the controller to schedule out deadlines and priorities (i.e. monthly close), which may require some work during evenings or weekends to ensure timely delivery of financial data to stakeholders (always a collaborative process to manage workload).
• Be an active participant in our regular finance team meetings, attend company-wide meetings, and participate in cross-departmental projects as needed.
• Participation in our semiannual, in-person all-hands meeting is required. We may also hold an initial in-person training session with you to ensure a smooth and successful onboarding and integration with the team
