Responsibilities

We're looking for a Senior Manager, Accounting to take significant ownership across Ema's accounting operation as the company scales. Reporting directly to the CFO, and with a growth path to Controller, you'll be responsible for major portions of the accounting close, financial reporting, technical accounting, audit process, and accounting infrastructure. This is a hands-on, builder role: you'll execute the work while continuously improving the processes, systems, controls, and automation behind it.
What You Will Own
Own significant portions of the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, ensuring accuracy and full compliance with US GAAP.
Lead and coordinate consolidation of results across entities, producing clean, audit-ready consolidated financial statements.
Build and maintain revenue accounting processes suited to a SaaS and usage-based business, including judgment-heavy areas such as revenue recognition under ASC 606.
Help evaluate, select, and deploy ERP and close-management tooling, with a strong bias toward AI-native systems that reduce manual work rather than add to it.
Design and continuously improve scalable accounting policies, controls, documentation, and processes that hold up as the company grows quickly.
Partner cross-functionally with FP&A, Legal, and the broader business to support fundraising, board reporting, and ad hoc financial analysis.Serve as a key point of contact for external auditors; help plan and run the annual audit end-to-end, manage PBC lists, and resolve technical accounting issues as they arise.
Identify and eliminate manual, repetitive accounting work, using AI tools - including Ema itself - wherever they can make the close faster, cleaner, and more scalable.
Work closely with the CFO and finance leadership on accounting-related initiatives and broader finance priorities.
Deep working knowledge of US GAAP, with 5-7+ years of experience in SaaS or usage-based revenue businesses, including revenue recognition complexity under ASC 606.
Direct experience with multi-entity financial reporting and consolidation.
