Senior Accounting Manager

It's time to build. Whether it's creating more housing, upgrading our infrastructure, or adapting to climate change, one thing is clear: the construction industry is at the center of solving our biggest problems. We’re making buildings cheaper and easier to build by transforming the way commercial construction companies buy their materials. Join us.

Founded in 2018, Kojo is now one of the fastest-growing construction technology companies in the world. Construction accounts for $10 trillion in global spend annually and we can’t live without its output - our roads, schools, hospitals, and offices. Despite this, there’s been very little innovation over the past 70 years in how materials - which constitute up to 40% of project costs - are bought and sold. This is our opportunity.

We are seeking a Senior Accounting Manager who will serve as the senior-most accountant within Kojo’s Finance organization, responsible for owning the integrity of our financials, leading the monthly close, and driving the complex and technical areas of our accounting function.

Kojo is entering an important stage of scale, hiring a Senior Accounting Manager to own the integrity of our financials and the foundation we need for future growth. This role is ideal for a CPA with audit rigor and B2B SaaS experience who is ready to bring structure, judgment, and technical excellence to a fast-moving environment.

This role will include:

• Own the overall timeliness and accuracy of our financial statements by maintaining and monitoring progress against the close checklist, leading the monthly close process, and developing/maintaining policies and internal controls in support of GAAP compliance.

• Own preparation of high-judgement and technical areas including revenue recognition, payroll, payroll related liabilities, commission expense, stock-based compensation/equity, foreign-exchange (FX) translation and remeasurement, and other such areas.

• Serve as the primary accounting contact during our annual AICPA audit.

• Partner with our external tax advisors and support corporate, sales, and other tax tax filings (federal, state, and local); coordinate on the preparation of our ASC 740 tax provision as part of our year-end audit.

• Own the configuration, optimization, and integration of accounting systems (ERP, payroll, billing, and adjacent tools).

• Partner cross-functionally with FP&A, Sales, Operations, and HR to ensure accuracy of financial data and alignment on business processes.

• Drive continuous improvement across close processes, systems automation, and accounting workflows.

• Partner with existing Accounting Manager on processes they own which impact the financials including: A/R aging, sales tax calculations at point-of-sale, bad debt reserves, write-offs, A/P and related accruals and capitalizations / amortizations, bank reconciliations, and other areas.

You’ll lead the monthly close, own our most complex technical areas, and build scalable processes, systems, and controls. This is a hands-on, high-impact role reporting into our Head of Finance with visibility across the organization and the opportunity to shape the accounting function of a growth-stage company.

What you’ve accomplished:

• CPA with a strong audit foundation (Big 4 or large regional firm preferred).

• 4+ years of progressive accounting experience in B2B SaaS.

• Experience owning subscription-based ASC 606 revenue recognition and at least one additional technical area (stock-based comp, taxes, foreign exchange, leases, etc.).

• Proven ability to run or materially lead the monthly close process end-to-end.

• Serves as the go-to for accounting judgment and technical guidance, escalating to the Head of Finance or advisors as needed.

• Strong command of the general ledger, chart of accounts structure, and balance sheet integrity.

• Experience supporting external audits and working confidently with tax and legal advisors.

• Fluency with accounting systems and the ability to own system configuration and integrations, with experience in or willingness to quickly ramp up on our finance tech stack, including Xero, Carta, Avalara, Rippling, Salesforce and Airbase.

What you care about:

• Passion: You care intensely about Kojo's success

• Impact: You are both fast-paced and detail oriented

• Innovation: You seek to understand the truth behind problems and find solutions to them
