What Makes You Stand Out

You are a detail-oriented and dependable accounting professional who takes pride in accuracy and organization, and you enjoy bringing structure to financial processes and ensuring that everything ties out cleanly. You’re excited to learn, and comfortable with change, especially in a fast-moving startup environment where a strong work ethic is required.

You balance technical accounting knowledge with strong ethics, communicate proactively, and have an ownership mindset. You’re a team player who seeks to develop strong working relationships with colleagues. You welcome the opportunity to grow within a collaborative finance team and contribute to building scalable, technology-forward processes.

How You’ll Make An Impact

As an Accountant at Surefire Cyber, you will play a key role in strengthening our financial operations and ensuring accuracy across accounting activities. Partnering directly with the Controller, you will handle the accounting work that keeps the business running smoothly, including invoicing, accounts payable, accruals and expenses to support our month-end close process. You will also gain exposure to revenue recognition and help support financial reporting to stakeholders, various accounting and finance projects, and compliance efforts.

This is a new role created to support our growing organization, where you’ll help strengthen our accounting processes, improve internal controls, and identify opportunities to make our operations more efficient as we continue to scale.

Your Role In Action

Record and maintain general ledger activity and accounting schedules, including accounts payable, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, accruals, adjusting journal entries and reconciliations
Independently capture, approve, and code invoices and credit card expenses using our bill and expense management platform to ensure complete and accurate reflection in our accounting software
Manage employee expense submissions and reimbursements, ensuring timely submissions and compliance with our policies
Collaborate with the finance team to carry out our monthly invoicing process, implement process improvements and execute on ad-hoc projects
Handle the initial steps of vendor and customer onboarding, and field finance-related questions from both on an ongoing basis
Help prepare financial statements and support revenue recognition activities
Maintain and strengthen internal controls to safeguard company assets and ensure policy compliance
Coordinate with external partners for audits, tax filings, and 1099 reporting and help support our completion of these compliance activities, including the compilation of documentation for audit and tax purposes
Work closely with the controller to schedule out deadlines and priorities (i.e. monthly close), which may require some work during evenings or weekends to ensure timely delivery of financial data to stakeholders (always a collaborative process to manage workload).
Be an active participant in our regular finance team meetings, attend company-wide meetings, and participate in cross-departmental projects as needed.
Participation in our semiannual, in-person all-hands meeting is required. We may also hold an initial in-person training session with you to ensure a smooth and successful onboarding and integration with the team

Your Expertise

Bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance preferred, or equivalent professional experience
Proficiency in recording adjusting journal entries and reconciling accounting schedules to the general ledger in connection with month-end close activities
Foundational understanding of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, identify issues and meet deadlines
Ability to maintain internal controls and ensure compliance with accounting standards
Proficiency in Microsoft Suite, especially in Excel
Proven ability to understand and leverage technology to work more efficiently and effectively
Experience with QuickBooks or similar accounting software preferred
CPA designation or background in public accounting is a plus
Prior experience working with a professional services/consulting Company is a plus
Strong ethics, reliability, and accountability in handling sensitive financial data is required
Adaptability to adopt new systems, tools, and evolving processes in a growing organization
Clear communicator with a collaborative and solutions-focused approach (demonstrated prior experience working successfully on teams)

Expertise in all these areas is not required, but you should be excited by the opportunity to learn new things and comfortable working with other team members to expand your knowledge base and experience.
