Responsibilities

  • Identify, propose, and implement solutions to automate and optimize processes.
  • Work with our team to maintain (or reduce) overhead requirements, even as transaction volumes 10x.
  • Manage and build relationships with all external partners, including tax, bookkeeping, vendors, government partners, and auditors.
  • Develop internal processes, such as expense and procurement policies; build strong relationships with company leaders, as well as trust with all employees.
  • Support a range of initiatives, which may include real estate planning, variable compensation analysis, cash management policies, and contracting.
  • Monitor corporate cash balances and manage treasury movements to ensure the company remains optimized across liquidity and yield.
  • Step outside the normal job description to own key workflows that help a cross-functional team scale rapidly-e.g., assisting with Sales Ops, Legal, HR, and Office operations.

Requirements

  • Accounting Experience: 8+ years of accounting experience, including time in Big 4 (or equivalent) audit and high-growth technology startups.

  • Prepare Twenty for future audits by building the required roadmap and timing of all necessary requirements.
  • Experience with DCAA compliance and government contracts.
  • Highly Detail-Oriented: You believe that formatting is a valuable tool for cross-functional communication, not a burden. You sweat the details because you know they matter.
  • Prioritization: You understand the operational realities of a high-growth startup, knowing when speed must beat perfection and when a task is more efficient handled manually.
  • Financial Systems Expertise: Experience implementing and managing modern financial systems (e.g., ERP, spend management, payroll platforms) is required. Mastery with Excel and Google Sheets.
  • Self-Propelled: You know what an excellent accounting function looks like, identifying gaps and filing them without waiting for instructions. You thrive in the unstructured environment of an early-stage company.
