Accounting Manager

✨TL;DR - Why This Role Matters. We’re looking for an Accounting Manager to build and scale the financial foundation that powers Scribe’s next phase of growth. As one of the Scribe’s first accounting hires, you’ll own core accounting processes, ensure timely and accurate reporting, and partner across the company to improve financial operations. At this stage, we need someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, can balance detail with big-picture thinking, and wants to shape how accounting operates at a high-growth SaaS company.

📌 About the Role

As Accounting Manager at Scribe, you’ll work closely with our Finance and cross-functional teams. You’ll help lead our month-end close, strengthen internal controls, and provide insights that help guide business decisions. Success in this role looks like accurate, reliable reporting; streamlined processes; and proactive problem-solving that positions Accounting as a true business partner.

In your first 3–12 months, you will:

• Lead monthly and quarterly close processes, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting.

• Own preparation and review of journal entries, account reconciliations, financial statements, and various financial analyses.

• Manage various matters of revenue accounting, including, but not limited to, revenue recognition, processing costs, customer receivable reconciliation, and deferred revenue.

• Partner with data, engineering, and product teams to automate reporting and streamline accounting processes.

• Drive automation and process improvements in our ERP and reporting workflows.

• Develop and document accounting policies and internal controls to support scale and audit readiness.

• Support external audits and tax compliance requirements, ensuring Scribe meets all reporting standards.

• Support accounts payable process, including approving of vendor bills and timely payments.

• Partner with FP&A to provide budget-to-actual reporting and insights that inform business strategy.
  

🌎 Location

This role is open to remote candidates across the United States. For those based near San Francisco, our team works in-office 3 days per week.

🧩 What Makes You a Great Fit

• You have 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including time in a growth-stage SaaS or technology company.

• You’re a CPA (or equivalent), with big 4 experience.

• You’re fluent in Excel and have experience working with data/automation tools (SQL, Python, or similar).

• You’ve owned and improved structured month-end close processes, delivering accurate results under tight deadlines.

• You thrive in ambiguity — building processes from scratch excites you more than inheriting playbooks.

• You balance precision and pragmatism: you are extremely detail oriented and have a high regard for precision but know how to keep pace in a high-growth environment.

• You communicate financial information clearly, tailoring your approach for executives, cross-functional partners, and auditors.
