About the Role:

Netomi is looking for a strong operator to build and lead the accounting function at a critical stage of scale. This person will own the close, elevate the company from lightweight cash-based processes toward disciplined accrual accounting, improve controls, and create a finance operating backbone that management and investors can trust.

This is not a maintenance role. The right candidate is hands-on, systems-minded, comfortable with ambiguity, and excited to build clean processes in a fast-moving enterprise AI environment.

### Responsibilities:
  • Own monthly, quarterly, and annual close, including journal entries, reconciliations, financial statement preparation, and close calendar management.
  • Lead the transition toward GAAP-like accrual accounting and stronger revenue recognition practices.
  • Design and document accounting policies across revenue, accruals, prepaid expenses, commissions, software capitalization, and reserves as needed.
  • Partner with Finance, Sales, Legal, and Operations to ensure customer contracts are reflected correctly in invoicing and accounting treatment.
  • Build reliable AR, AP, expense reimbursement, and vendor payment workflows with clear controls and approval paths.
  • Improve audit readiness, support tax and compliance workstreams, and coordinate with external accountants, auditors, and advisors.
  • Evaluate and improve systems, including ERP/accounting stack, spend management tools, and close tooling.
  • Hire, coach, and manage future accounting team members over time.
  • What Success Looks Like in 12 Months:
  • A predictable monthly close with clear ownership, deadlines, and reconciliations.
  • Accrual-based reporting that management and investors can rely on.
  • Cleaner revenue accounting and contract-to-invoice workflows with fewer manual workarounds.
  • Stronger controls over spend, payments, approvals, and balance sheet integrity.
  • A scalable accounting foundation that can support fundraising, diligence, and future audits.
  • ### Requirements:
  • 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally across a mix of public accounting and high-growth SaaS or enterprise software environments.
  • Strong command of U.S. GAAP, monthly close, revenue recognition, and internal controls.
  • Experience building or upgrading accounting processes in a company that moved from scrappy to more institutional.
  • Comfort working directly with finance leadership, founders, and cross-functional business partners.
  • Strong systems orientation; experience with NetSuite, QuickBooks, or comparable ERP tools, plus spend tools such as Ramp, Brex, or Expensify.
  • Hands-on mindset with sound judgment and strong attention to detail.
  • CPA strongly preferred.
  • ### Nice to Have:
  • Experience with enterprise contracts, consumption or usage-based pricing, or complex invoicing environments.
  • Exposure to AI, software infrastructure, cloud cost allocation, or revenue operations.
  • Experience preparing a company for financing, audit, or major diligence processes.
  • Disclaimer: For all United States-based applicants, please note that Netomi participates in E-Verify for the purpose of work authorization. More information on E-verify can be found here and here.
