Role
Who you are
- You are a CPA and have 10+ years of accounting experience, ideally in a high-growth tech or SaaS environment. You've navigated complexity before, whether that's equity compensation, commissions accounting, or supporting a company through its first audit
- You take ownership seriously. When something is yours, you see it all the way through, from policy development to reconciliation to audit support. You don't wait to be asked
- You're audit-ready by nature. You think about documentation, controls, and financial reporting not as a once-a-year scramble but as something you build into how you work every day
- You're a builder. You're excited by the opportunity to implement new processes and tools from scratch, and you see that as an opportunity, not a burden
- You're a team player who doesn't think anything is beneath you. Our team is small and we cover for each other. You're willing to roll up your sleeves wherever the team needs support
What the job involves
- We are looking for a detail-oriented and highly experienced Senior Accounting Manager to own complex accounting areas, drive process and control improvements, and play a key role in the month end close process
- The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise, strong judgment, and the ability to thrive in a dynamic environment focused on long-term impact and timely execution
- As we prepare for our first financial audit and continue to scale, this role offers meaningful ownership and growth potential
- You’ll play a key role in audit readiness, process improvement, and helping the team tighten close and reporting timelines
- We’re seeking someone who embraces change and brings a proactive, solutions-focused mindset to evolving our accounting practices
- Implementing and owning the software capitalization process, including policy development, journal entries, and reconciliations
- Building and owning the commissions capitalization process, including journal entries, reporting, and reconciliations
- Owning stock-based compensation and equity accounting, including journal entries, reconciliations, and disclosure support
- Owning payroll-related journal entries and reconciliations
- Assisting with allocation calculations and journal entries, including overhead, customer support, and depreciation
- Supporting accounting for unique and complex transactions as they arise
- Supporting public company readiness initiatives, including internal control implementation, financial reporting, and close process improvements
- Working directly with external auditors on assigned areas
- Supporting the broader accounting team and take on ad hoc projects as needed

Our take
Reportedly, 50% of employers don’t use applicant tracking systems, largely because of blockers with implementation or insufficient buy-in from top management. Ashby's co-founder and CEO, Benji Encz, experienced first-hand how existing solutions failed to support hyper-growth hiring needs whilst working at PlanGrid, which is in part what led to the creation of the company.
Ashby is looking to redefine the ATS category - providing talent teams with analytics, workflows and automation - and intends to replace solutions from well-established vendors like Greenhouse and Lever with algorithms. The company's AI can schedule interviews and infer demographic data, which clients use for aggregate analyses of DEI hiring metrics.
The market for recruitment software could potentially reach $3.5 billion by 2030. Unsurprisingly, there is now a growing number of startups emerging to compete for a slice of it. Despite the crowded market and having only emerged from stealth in 2022, Ashby has already secured over 500 clients (including high-profile customers like Notion and Figma). The company has also attracted impressive funding, which will be used to expand its product offering beyond what is typically expected from an ATS and grow its customer success and community initiatives.
