Senior Technical Accountant

What this role is about:

RapidSOS is looking for a high-impact Senior Technical Accountant to join our finance team during a period of explosive growth. As we prepare for our next major phase of corporate scale, you will be the architect of our technical accounting policies, the lead on complex consolidations, and the engine behind our financial reporting.

This isn't a traditional "back-office" role. We are looking for a professional who views AI as an essential teammate and leverages a modern tech stack (NetSuite, Abacum, Ramp) to automate the mundane. You will bridge the gap between complex GAAP standards and strategic business decision-making.

What you'll do:

• Technical Policy & Memos: Research and document complex accounting positions (ASC 606, ASC 842, ASC 718) in clear, defensible technical memos.
• Month-End Close & GL Management: Execute critical components of the monthly close process, including the preparation of complex journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, and detailed flux (variance) analysis to ensure the integrity of the General Ledger.
• Process Architecture for Scale: Design and implement scalable accounting processes and institutional-grade internal controls that can withstand 2x–3x transaction volume growth without adding headcount.
• External & Internal Reporting: Lead the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements. You will build out the rigorous reporting framework required for comprehensive external disclosures (MD&A, Footnotes).
• Strategic Business Partnering: Collaborate directly with Sales, Legal, and Deal Desk teams to structure complex deals and new product launches, ensuring favorable revenue recognition and operational feasibility before contracts are signed.
• Consolidations & M&A: Own the global consolidation process for multi-entity structures. You will lead the accounting workstream for due diligence and post-acquisition integration (ASC 805) as we scale through M&A.
• Mentorship & Quality Control: Act as a technical mentor to junior accounting staff, performing first-level review of workpapers and elevating the team's overall technical proficiency.
• AI Integration: Actively identify and implement AI-driven workflows to streamline data reconciliation, anomaly detection, and reporting cycles.
• Audit & Compliance: Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors and regulatory examinations.
