Director of Accounting

Job description

ABOUT ONELEET Oneleet is one of the fastest-growing security and compliance platforms in history. We are on a mission to change the compliance and security industry by making cybersecurity and compliance effective, easy, and painless. We provide a platform that helps companies build, manage, and monitor their cybersecurity programs and achieve compliance standards such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001 efficiently, without cutting corners. Having just raised a $33 million Series A, we are rapidly growing in customers and employees. Our team has decades of experience in security and compliance. Join our team of opinionated rebels and help us build a category-defining company reshaping the broken and fragmented compliance and cybersecurity industry. WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR: We value passionate self-starters with a growth mindset and a bias for action and personal accountability. If you love solving hard problems, thrive in ambiguity, and want to make a real impact, you’ll fit right in. We’re especially drawn to: - Rebels with a cause — frustrated with the status quo and eager to disrupt it. - Opinionated (but not obstinate) builders — decisive yet collaborative, who help us move fast. - Clear communicators — who own their ideas and follow through. Our mission is simple: make effective cybersecurity painless. We believe cybersecurity should empower, not burden. This belief unites our team and drives every decision we make. If you’re ready to challenge the status quo and help shape the future of cybersecurity, we’d love to meet you. THE ROLE We're looking for a hands-on Director of Accounting who is energized by building, not maintaining. You own things end-to-end: the full accounting cycle, internal controls, GAAP compliance, audit readiness, and the build-out of a small high-performing accounting team. This role is ideal for a detail-oriented finance leader who thrives in dynamic environments and can balance strategic oversight with day-to-day execution. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: - Accounting Operations: Own the full close cycle end-to-end: GL, AP, AR, payroll accounting, deferred revenue, and reconciliations. Prepare accurate GAAP financial statements on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis. - Revenue Recognition: Own ASC 606 across all product lines, including review of material contracts for proper recognition, maintenance of deferred revenue schedules, and reconciling the ARR waterfall in partnership with the VP of Finance. - Collections & AR: Build and run the AR collections process from scratch: aging management, customer outreach cadences, escalation protocols, and DSO tracking. Partner with Customer Success and Sales on billing disputes and cash application. - Internal Controls & Policy: Design and implement the internal controls framework, accounting policies, delegation of authority, and spend approval governance. Build audit readiness over time so the company can move quickly when an audit is scoped. - Tax & Equity: Own federal, state, and sales tax compliance in coordination with external advisors. Manage equity accounting under ASC 718, stock option plan administration, and cap table coordination with legal and Pulley. - Systems & Automation: Own the accounting tech stack: evaluate, implement, and optimize the GL, billing, expense management, and integrations with CRM and payroll. Automate recurring workflows to improve accuracy and reduce close cycle time. - Cross-functional Partnership: Partner with the VP of Finance on board reporting, investor packages, and Series B diligence materials. Serve as the primary liaison with external auditors (when engaged), tax advisors, banking partners, and corporate counsel. YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU HAVE: - Accounting Expertise: 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including time as Controller or Assistant Controller at a venture-backed SaaS company. CPA and Big 4 or regional public accounting background strongly preferred. - Technical Knowledge: Deep command of US GAAP including ASC 606 in a recurring-revenue environment: multi-element arrangements, non-standard deals, and deferred revenue management. Working knowledge of ASC 718 and equity accounting. - Builder Mentality: Demonstrated experience building an accounting function from the ground up: designing policies, establishing controls, and implementing systems rather than inheriting them. - Audit Readiness: Experience managing external audits through completion, with the ability to build audit-ready infrastructure well in advance of one being scoped. - Systems Fluency: Hands-on experience with a modern cloud ERP (e.g. Campfire or Rillet) and integrations with billing, CRM, and payroll platforms. - AI Fluency: Comfortable using AI tools to accelerate accounting workflows: close checklists, variance commentary, contract review, reconciliation drafts, and ad hoc analysis. We use AI actively at Oneleet and expect our finance team to as well. - Communication: Able to translate technical accounting positions into plain language for the Executive leadership, board, and investors. BONUS POINTS FOR: - Background in B2B SaaS, Cybersecurity or Compliance - Experience scaling accounting teams from Series A and beyond, including supporting Series B+ fundraise and investor diligence WHY ONELEET? At Oneleet, you’ll join a tight-knit team of rebels redefining the cybersecurity industry. We move fast, own our work, and challenge outdated models to make security effortless and effective for companies. Here’s what makes us special: - We value impact over titles, autonomy over micromanagement, and clarity over jargon. - You’ll tackle meaningful, hard problems with real-world consequences. - You’ll work with smart, kind, and ambitious teammates who lift each other up. PERKS & BENEFITS - Comprehensive health & wellness benefits - 20 days PTO per year, plus 8 floating holiday - Remote work culture - Team off-sites in stunning places (Amsterdam, Italy, etc). - Competitive compensation & equity We hire globally and compensate competitively within each market using geographic pay bands.
