Sobre esta vaga de Accounting Manager na Sustainment
Company Overview: Sustainment is an AI-native software platform that helps US-based manufacturers easily find and work with the critical suppliers they need to build and manage their supply chains. Our vision is to reimagine American manufacturing as a hyperconnected, secure, and resilient ecosystem of local and regional suppliers who can more easily connect, interact, and do business with the industry and government customers that rely on them. We are a dual-use technology platform that supports both DoD and commercial customers in pursuit of our vision.
Job Overview: We are hiring an Accounting Manager to run our day-to-day accounting operations. Our finance stack is built and operating — QuickBooks Online, Ramp, and Anrok, with documented processes and a clean close. Your job is to run it well, keep it accurate, and improve it as we scale. You will own the month-end close, general ledger integrity, and the transactional accounting cycle, reporting directly to the CFO. This is a hands-on role for someone who takes pride in a fast, clean close and does not need to be told when the calendar is slipping.
For this position you must be local to Austin, TX and willing to be in office a minimum of 3 days a week.
What you'll own:
- Run the monthly close end to end. Own the close calendar and deliver financials within 10 business days, with a path to tightening that as you ramp.
- Own general ledger integrity, including journal entries, account reconciliations, and accruals.
- Manage the full transactional cycle: accounts payable, accounts receivable, expense management, and payroll accounting.
- Apply established revenue recognition policy across both commercial and government contracts, including billing and revenue schedules.
- Produce the monthly reporting package and supporting schedules that feed board and investor reporting.
- Own monthly budget vs. actuals analysis, partnering with budget owners to explain variances, identify key drivers, and incorporate changes into the next forecast.
- Administer and optimize our finance stack — QuickBooks Online for the GL, Ramp for spend and AP, Anrok for sales tax.
- Own sales tax compliance, including nexus monitoring, registrations, and filings across jurisdictions.
- Maintain and improve the documented accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls already in place.
- Prepare audit-ready schedules and support requests; serve as the primary preparer for the annual audit under CFO direction.
- Coordinate with external tax and compliance partners on filings and information requests.
- Identify what's slow, manual, or error-prone in the current process and fix it.
What you'll bring:
- 4–6 years of progressive accounting experience, including 1–2 years owning a monthly close.
- Working knowledge of U.S. GAAP and internal controls, with the judgment to know when a transaction needs to escalate.
- Public accounting or audit experience (Big 4 or national firm preferred).
- CPA or CPA candidate preferred.
- Startup or high-growth company experience, ideally Series A/B.
- Hands-on experience with QuickBooks Online and modern spend and tax automation tools. You are comfortable owning a finance stack and making it work harder.
- Fluency with AI tools, particularly Claude, for budget vs. actuals commentary, ad hoc analysis, and other finance workflows. You use AI as a default productivity tool, know how to prompt it effectively, and apply sound judgment in validating the output before relying on it.
- Multi-state sales tax compliance experience, particularly for SaaS.
- Government or federal contract accounting exposure is a strong plus.
- Precision, deadline discipline, and follow-through. You close on time and you catch your own errors.
- Direct communicator who works well with a small team and operates without heavy oversight.
