- You are willing to get into the weeds and work with your team to ensure delivery of the best service possible
- You are proactive in anticipating and resolving questions, requests, and challenges
- You are naturally curious, embrace technology, and are committed to learning and adapting
- You enjoy smart problem-solving. You thrive on figuring things out but know when to avoid reinventing the wheel and ask for help
- You are comfortable working as part of a diverse team, which includes team members outside the USA
- You are effective at leading and teaching team members
- You are comfortable interacting with clients and maintain a positive, can-do attitude
- You have the discipline, maturity, and emotional intelligence to work remotely and independently
- 10+ years of accounting experience, of which at least 5+ recent years with startups
- 3+ years in a team leadership role
- Strong understanding of accounting theory and application of GAAP
- Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks Online and apps like Gusto, Rippling, Looker, BigQuerry and Ramp
- Proficient with Google Workspace, Google Docs/Sheets, and Excel
- Able to learn new software and procedures quickly and apply appropriate solutions to improve efficiencies
- Ability to prioritize and manage time to meet deadlines
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Proven ability to build repeatable processes and document procedures
- Bachelor's degree in accounting and/or work history that demonstrates exceptional accounting knowledge and skills
- Certified CPA/ACCA/Chartered Accountant (or on track) preferred but not required
What the job involves
- Lead client engagement on a day-to-day basis
- Deliver the monthly, quarterly, and annual closing processes, ensuring accurate and timely financial statements
- Develop and maintain accounting policies and procedures in compliance with GAAP
- Implement and maintain internal financial controls, including risk management
- Oversee financial systems and data management
- Manage accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll
- Support compliance with US federal, state, and local requirements and assist with new state registrations

- Identify, propose, and implement opportunities to improve workflow productivity
Our take
For many high-growth companies, building a large, in-house marketing team is an expensive and impractical endeavor. MarketerHire aims to solve this problem by matching startups with the best freelance marketing talent.
MarketerHire provides access to a pre-vetted network of experienced marketing professionals, with this vetting process setting the company aside from other platforms and agencies. Through the network, businesses generally fill empty positions within an impressive 3 weeks, which is how the company has attracted big-name customers including Netflix, Puma and Buzzfeed.
The company has also amassed strong funding, including backing from executives at big-name startups such as Zillow and Seamless, which indicates the appeal of its proposition. MarketerHire is now focused on further upgrading its matching service, using machine learning to place experts with suitable roles faster and more effectively, as well as expanding across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
