About The Role

About Us

We are a high-growth SaaS company at the forefront of innovation in the Internet of Things (IoT) space, delivering connected solutions that transform how people interact with their environments. Over the past several years, we’ve experienced steady, healthy growth and built a high-performing accounting team that plays a key role in sustaining our success.

Reporting to the Senior Manager, Accounting, the Accounting Manager supports execution of the month-end and quarter-end close across our multi-entity structure and assigned financial statement areas, compiles the monthly Flash reporting package and quarterly flux analysis, and serves as the accounting team’s day-to-day owner of our finance systems including Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains), Coupa, Expensify, and Power BI, using them to standardize and automate how the team works.
