Too Lost is seeking our second hire in Accounting & Finance to partner directly with our Head of Finance. We have reached a stage of growth where our financial complexity—driven by global royalties, technology fees, and high-volume transactions—requires a dedicated technical expert who is comfortable managing the full accounting cycle.
In this role, you will be the primary person responsible for our day-to-day accounting operations while helping us stand up our formal FP&A function. You aren’t just overseeing the books; you are actively preparing them. This is a role for a technical accountant who wants to move beyond "just the numbers" to help us forecast our future and build the systems that will support our next phase of growth.
This is a hybrid full time position work from our New York, NY office. Our hybrid schedule requires employees to work from the office 4 days a week and allows for 1 day work from home.
What You’ll Do:
- Own the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes. This includes preparing journal entries, performing reconciliations, and ensuring our financial statements are accurate and delivered on time.
- Be the lead on our most complex accounting areas, specifically Revenue Recognition across our distribution and royalty streams.
- Cleaning up the Chart of Accounts; troubleshooting NetSuite sync errors.
- Maintaining the tax calendar; preparing documentation for annual 1099 filings.
- Manage and optimize our Ramp pipeline; ensuring correct department coding for all vendor invoices and expenses.
- Ensure we are compliant with GAAP as our transaction volume scales.
- Once the books are closed, you’ll help turn that data into insight. You will assist the Head of Finance in investigating budget-to-actual variances and building our first formal forecasting models and departmental budgets.
- As an early hire, you will identify where our current workflows are manual and implement automations, systems, or policies that will make our accounting & finance function more efficient and transparent.
- Work across all teams to help them understand their spending and the financial impact of their projects, translating accounting data into clear, actionable advice for the business.
- Ensure we remain "audit-ready" at all times by maintaining rigorous documentation and internal controls.
- Additional projects, tasks, and responsibilities as assigned
What We Are Looking For:
- You have 5+ years of accounting experience, including at least 2 years in public accounting, and hold a CPA. Experience with SaaS, royalties, or digital media is a significant plus.
- You thrive in a lean, two-person environment without a ton of rigid structure. You view a blank canvas as an opportunity to build, rather than a source of frustration.
- You have a strong handle on technical revenue accounting and genuinely enjoy setting up and optimizing tools.
- Experience with NetSuite or similar ERPs is highly desirable. When a system glitches or a transaction doesn't reconcile, you love digging into the "why" to find a solution.
- You take pride in a perfect reconciliation and a clean audit trail.
- You are energized by high-level strategic growth, but equally comfortable staying grounded "in the weeds" of complex datasets and the day-to-day execution (invoice coding, reconciliations) required to keep a growing company healthy.
- In a small, growing company, you will interface constantly with cross-functional teams. You can easily translate a balance sheet, variance report, or complex accounting principle into plain, approachable language for a non-finance audience.
What Makes Too Lost Different?
- You’ll be a core architect: Shape the team and its future direction.
- You’ll never be siloed: Work across functions and levels, directly impacting the company’s trajectory.
- You’ll grow as the team grows: Be positioned for advancement as new hires join under your leadership.
- Flexibility: No two days are the same; you’ll have broad scope and influence.
