Job Title & Location
Remote Staff Accountant (Remote)
Location: Remote — flexible hours around
Terre Haute, Indiana
We’re hiring a Staff Accountant right now because our recent Series B round added $45 million to the balance sheet, and the accounting engine needs fresh hands to keep the books clean as we launch three new product lines over the next six months. --- ### The Reality of This Role If you walk into our virtual “open‑door” meeting tomorrow, you’ll hear the hum of a finance team that grew from five to twelve members in just 10 months. We’re a B2B SaaS company headquartered in
Terre Haute, Indiana
, but 80 % of our staff work from home across the U.S. The moment you log into our Slack channel, you’ll see the same spreadsheet that a colleague in
Terre Haute
just updated, the same QuickBooks Online dashboard that a teammate in
Terre Haute, Indiana
is reconciling, and the same deadline clock ticking down to the next month‑end close. Your day‑to‑day will be a blend of routine and surprise. The routine part: posting weekly journal entries, reconciling bank feeds, and monitoring cash flow forecasts that keep our CFO from pulling his hair out. The surprise part: a sudden request from product to model the financial impact of a pricing experiment, or a quick dive into a newly‑imported data set from our sales ops team for a month‑end variance analysis. Why now? Our growth to $120 million ARR has outpaced our accounting capacity. The new product suite we’re rolling out in
Terre Haute
adds three revenue streams, each with its own recognition rules, so we need someone who can untangle the complexity without breaking a sweat. You’ll report to the Finance Manager, who sits in a co‑working space just a short drive from downtown
Terre Haute
, and you’ll partner daily with the senior controller, the senior analyst, and a part‑time payroll specialist who lives in
Terre Haute, Indiana
. Our collaboration style is deliberately async — we respect that you might be working in a different time zone, but we’ll always have a 30‑minute “watercooler” Zoom at 9 a.m.
