Role Overview

We’re hiring an Accounting Manager to own Stedi’s monthly close and day-to-day accounting operations as the business continues to scale. Reporting directly to the Controller, you will be responsible for general ledger accuracy, timely financial reporting, and the accounting processes and controls that support them.

Stedi’s accounting function is built around integrated systems, automation, and AI. You will build on that foundation by standardizing workflows, establishing clear responsibilities and review procedures, and strengthening controls as transaction volume and complexity increase.

• Manage day-to-day accounting operations, including P2P, T&E, and payroll accounting.
• Prepare and analyze financial reporting and supporting schedules, investigate variances, and provide clear explanations of financial results.
• Develop and maintain accounting policies, research accounting questions, and document conclusions. Partner with the Controller on complex transactions and translate accounting decisions into practical procedures.
• Build and improve accounting processes and internal controls as the business scales. Turn manual and undocumented workflows into clear procedures with defined ownership and repeatable execution.
• Identify opportunities to automate workflows and enhance financial systems using modern tools and AI to improve accuracy, efficiency, and scalability.
• Support cross-functional teams with clear guidance, strong communication, and a practical approach to operational issue resolution.
• Lead the preparation of audit workpapers and supporting schedules, coordinate auditor requests, and serve as a day-to-day point of contact for external auditors in partnership with the Controller.

• Problem solver: Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills with a relentless approach to reconciling discrepancies and understanding underlying data flows.
