Company mission
To use AI to automate a time-intensive process of writing and analysing legal contracts, saving legal teams time and enabling deals to be closed faster.
Role
Who you are
- 8–15 years of accounting experience, with at least 3 years in a leadership capacity—ideally within the B2B SaaS or high-growth tech space
- Deep knowledge of US GAAP, specifically the hands-on application of ASC 606 and ASC 842. A CPA is strongly preferred
- Strong proficiency as a NetSuite system owner; experience with SuiteBilling is a significant plus
- A proven track record of leading annual financial statement audits and managing external tax engagements
- A genuine interest in leveraging AI tooling to streamline finance operations. We don't expect you to have built an AI stack, but we want you to be excited about extending ours
- The ability to translate complex technical accounting into plain language for non-financial partners and build strong cross-functional relationships
What the job involves
- Our Accounting & Finance organization is a detail-oriented, commercially driven group that turns transactional data into actionable business insight. We sit at the heart of LinkSquares’ financial integrity, partnering closely with Revenue Operations, Sales, and senior leadership
- We value a culture of continuous improvement, where we tackle compliance and optimize systems to build a scalable foundation for a rapidly growing AI-powered company
- The Director of Accounting will serve as the senior-most accounting professional at LinkSquares and a central partner across the entire organization. You will ensure the integrity, accuracy, and timeliness of our financial records while serving as the internal architect of our financial tech stack
- This is a high-visibility role with direct executive exposure and a seat at the table for strategic, cross-functional decisions that shape our future
- Lead the full-cycle operational accounting function, including the monthly close, annual audits, and the maintenance of a mature library of reconciliations and internal controls
- Drive our "AI-in-accounting" strategy, building upon existing workflows (such as Claude–NetSuite integrations) to raise the bar on automation, accuracy, and analyst leverage
- Lead annual financial statement audits with our Big 4 partner and coordinate federal/multi-state tax filings with external advisors to ensure full corporate compliance
- Act as the internal expert on technical matters, authoring memos, adopting new guidance, and supporting 409(a) valuations
- Collaborate with Sales and RevOps on complex contract structures and ASC 606 revenue recognition to ensure scalable application across our customer base
- Own the financial tech stack (starting with NetSuite), managing integrated data flows from multiple tools and evolving our SOX-aligned control environment
- Manage corporate banking relationships, monitor cash flow and runway, and oversee corporate expense policies
Our take
Legal teams for large companies often lack the same sophisticated business intelligence and analytics tools that are common in finance and sales departments, relying instead on manual processes and spreadsheets. As such, nearly a third of legal departments around the world are increasing spending on technology.
LinkSquares is a company that may benefit from this increased spending, with its contract management and analytics tool for legal teams. The platform reads, analyses, and extracts structured data from contracts, which allows legal teams to uncover insights and close deals more quickly. LinkSquares has processed millions of documents for 700 companies, including brands like Fitbit, Wayfair, Twilio, Cogito, and TGI Fridays.
The company is far from alone in a growing contract creation and management tool market, with rivals including DocuSign, Concord, Icertis, and Evisort. However, LinkSquares has enjoyed rapid growth and is nearing unicorn status and keeps pace with industry trends, in 2024 announcing a Generative AI strategy which will be implemented across its entire product suite.
