Job Description
Clozd is the leader in Decision Intelligence, helping companies uncover the truth by capturing direct feedback throughout the customer journey.
We believe most revenue organizations are operating without the full picture. CRM and call data only tell part of the story. Clozd delivers the missing truth layer, giving executives the insights they need to improve win rates, retention, and growth.
We need team members who can tackle ambiguity, solve complex problems, and delight customers. We hire dynamic employees who take initiative, find ways to simplify and scale, possess strong interpersonal and communication skills, value humility and learning, crave a fast-paced startup environment, and never compromise their integrity.
As the accounting owner at Clozd, you will lead our accounting function and have the opportunity to build it at the leading edge — a modern, AI-augmented operation where automation and agents handle the work that doesn't require accounting judgment, freeing you to focus on the work that does. You will partner closely with the Controller to design financial processes and deploy automation where it's ready. We've already started down this path with a custom-built close checklist replacing our previous close tool, and we're looking for someone excited to push further. You will own the balance sheet, lead Clozd's monthly close, and serve as the primary point of contact for our annual audit.
This is the senior-most accounting role at Clozd outside of the Controller, with a clear path to Controller as the company grows.
What you will be doing:
Close ownership: Lead the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close. Own timeliness, accuracy, and continuous improvement of the close calendar.
Balance sheet ownership: Own the balance sheet end-to-end — reconciliations, review, and accuracy across cash, receivables, payables, fixed assets, accruals, deferred revenue, deferred commissions, and capitalized software.
Audit leadership: Serve as the primary point of contact for our external auditors. Manage documentation, prepare technical accounting memos, and drive the audit to a clean, on-time finish.
Revenue and compliance: Maintain GAAP revenue recognition under ASC 606. Own sales tax filings, nexus analysis, and debt covenant compliance reporting.
AP, AR, and payroll oversight: Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll operations. Initially hands-on; over time, transition execution to automation and agents under your direction.
Automation and systems design: Evaluate, deploy, and maintain the tooling stack that powers the accounting function — including NetSuite, Ramp, and emerging AI agent tools. Build the roadmap for what gets automated and what stays with you.
FP&A partnership: Support the FP&A team with accurate actuals, GAAP revenue forecasting inputs, and cash flow forecasting.
Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with Operations, R&D, and Revenue teams to ensure data accuracy supporting revenue recognition, commissions, and reporting.
Join Clozd and help define what a modern accounting function looks like. If you are an accounting professional who is energized by building rather than maintaining, we want to hear from you.
Minimum Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
3+ years of accounting experience, including experience owning or substantially leading a monthly close
Strong working knowledge of GAAP, with the ability to research and document technical positions
Demonstrated experience automating or restructuring an accounting process
Proficiency with NetSuite
Preferred Qualifications:
CPA certification
ASC 606 / SaaS revenue recognition experience
Audit experience, ideally as a primary point of contact
Experience with deferred commissions and capitalized software
Multi-state payroll and sales tax nexus experience
Familiarity with finance automation tooling (Ramp, Bill.com) and AI/agent-based workflows
Experience at a SaaS company
Benefits:
- Competitive compensation (i.e. salary, bonus, 401k, and equity)
- Majority of medical, dental, disability, life, and other insurance paid
- Unlimited PTO with a boss that encourages taking time off and using PTO to recharge
- 10 paid holidays and company shutdown between Christmas and New Years
- Weekly catered lunches, stocked kitchens, quarterly company/department activities, maternity/paternity leave, EAP program, etc.
