But we're more than software - our compounding network effect grows stronger with every partner we add, bringing the energy of in-store experiences online and transforming how businesses engage, convert, and build lasting customer relationships at scale.\nHaving raised over $235M to date, led by investors such as SoftBank Vision Fund 2, and operating at global scale, we offer unparalleled opportunities to solve complex challenges and drive meaningful impact in the future of connected commerce.\nIf you're curious, ambitious, and energized by big ideas - Firework is the place to grow, lead, and shape what comes next. Together.\nSummary\nWe are looking for a highly technical, hands-on Senior Accounting Manager to own the core accounting infrastructure of a growing, global, post-Series B company.\nThis person will lead the company through a rigorous GAAP close, consolidation, revenue recognition, reporting, audit, payroll partnership, finance administration, and accounting systems environment. The role requires someone who can operate at both the technical and operational level: able to work through complex accounting questions, improve financial systems, develop a strong team, and continuously increase the leverage of the finance organization through automation, AI, clear standards, and scalable processes.\nWe intentionally operate with a lean finance organization. Success in this role will not come from adding layers or headcount. It will come from building better operators, stronger systems, cleaner processes, and a finance function that can scale significantly without becoming unnecessarily complex. This is ideal for a high-potential manager who aspires to learn, lead, and grow their career into a future finance leader.\nWhat you’ll be doing\nOwn the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, driving a disciplined, accurate, and increasingly efficient GAAP close process\n\nLead global consolidation across multiple legal entities, currencies, and jurisdictions, including intercompany accounting and eliminations\n\nOwn advanced and technical accounting matters, including revenue recognition, complex transactions, accounting policy, and GAAP interpretation\n\nOwn preparation and review of internal and external financial reporting, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and timely delivery\n\nLead the evolution of the company’s accounting systems, integrations, and financial data architecture, reducing manual processes and improving control and visibility\n\nPartner closely with People Operations on global payroll, ensuring accurate accounting, reconciliations, controls, and coordination across payroll providers and entities\n\nOversee core finance administration, including banking, treasury administration, entity support, expense and vendor processes, accounting documentation, and related operational workflows\n\nLead the company’s external financial statement audit, managing audit readiness, supporting schedules, technical accounting documentation, and auditor relationships\n\nEstablish and maintain accounting policies, procedures, controls, and documentation appropriate for a growing global organization\n\nPartner with business leaders to ensure financial reporting accurately reflects business performance and supports decision-making\n\nProactively identify financial, accounting, systems, and process risks and resolve issues before they create downstream problems\n\nLead a deliberately lean finance organization, developing direct reports into stronger operators and increasing team capability through systems, automation, standards, and clear ownership rather than relying primarily on additional headcount\n\nWe’ll be excited if you have\nActive CPA required\n\n8+ years of progressive accounting experience, with significant experience owning close, consolidation, reporting, and technical accounting\n\nDeep knowledge of the U.S. GAAP and demonstrated ability to independently research and resolve complex accounting matters\n\nPrior experience in a post-Series B or later-stage, high-growth technology company\n\nExperience working with global entities, multi-entity consolidation, intercompany transactions, and international accounting operations\n\nStrong experience with revenue recognition and other advanced accounting topics relevant to a SaaS or technology business\n\nDemonstrated ownership of annual external audits and audit readiness\n\nStrong understanding of accounting systems, ERP environments, integrations, and financial data flows\n\nHighly technical and AI-savvy, with a track record of using automation and technology to materially improve finance operations\n\nExperience partnering with People Operations on payroll, ideally across multiple countries or payroll providers\n\nExperience managing and developing accounting professionals in a lean operating environment.\n\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills with exceptional attention to detail\n\nAbility to move fluidly between strategic issues, technical accounting, systems architecture, and hands-on execution\n\nComfortable operating in an environment where processes are still evolving and where leaders are expected to build rather than inherit fully mature infrastructure\n\nAbility to work U.S. business
