Responsibilities
- Where you'll work
- We are an in-office culture - velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is ideally based in our San Francisco, Long Beach, or Houston offices, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays.
- That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent if you live outside one of our hubs. If you're the right person for this role, we'll have a conversation about what works.
- Own all aspects of technical accounting, including revenue recognition (ASC 606), lease accounting (ASC 842), asset capitalization, and complex debt/equity instruments.
- Serve as the company's primary authority on US GAAP compliance, driving accounting policy development and ensuring consistency across all entities.
- Lead and develop the existing accounting team, setting clear expectations, managing performance, and building a high-output culture.
- Oversee the monthly, quarterly, and annual financial close process, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and audit-readiness at all times.
- Manage external auditor relationships and lead the annual audit process end-to-end.
- Partner cross-functionally with legal, operations, and executive leadership to evaluate and account for complex transactions, including project financing, M&A activity, and capital raises.
- Establish and maintain a robust internal controls framework (SOX-ready or equivalent) as the company scales toward a potential liquidity event.
- Drive the implementation and optimization of financial systems and ERP infrastructure to support scale.
Requirements
- CPA required.
- 10+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience, including time in public accounting (Big 4 or national firm preferred) and in-house Controller or VP Finance roles.
- Deep technical accounting expertise across US GAAP, including experience writing and defending accounting memos on complex or non-standard transactions.
- Demonstrated experience managing and developing accounting teams of 3+ people.
- Experience leading an annual external audit process from start to sign-off.
- Hands-on proficiency with ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, or equivalent) and financial reporting tools.
- Strong command of Excel/Google Sheets for financial modeling and analysis.
- Bonus points
- Experience in energy, utilities, infrastructure, real estate, or capital-intensive industries.
- Familiarity with project finance structures or debt covenants.
- Experience scaling a finance function through a Series B or later-stage raise, or through an IPO readiness process.
- Exposure to multi-entity consolidations or international subsidiaries.
