Snorkel AI Accounting Manager responsible for end-to-end monthly close, general ledger management, and audit readiness. Leads accounting operations and collaborates with multiple departments to support financial processes.

Responsibilities

We are seeking an Accounting Manager, General Ledger & Accounting Operations to own our monthly close end to end and build a close that can withstand an external audit.
This is a hands-on role for a Big Four-trained accountant who can both build and lead. You will report to the Controller and serve as preparer and reviewer for our senior and staff accountants, while building the models and processes that a fast-growing, project-based business depends on: commissions, bonuses, project margins, equity, and debt. You will work closely with Sales Operations, People, Legal, FP&A, and Revenue, and you will mentor the team as you go.
Close, General Ledger & Audit Readiness
Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close end to end, including the calendar, task owners, checklist, and final sign-off.
Prepare and review journal entries, accruals, flux analyses, and balance sheet reconciliations, with timely and documented review.
Lead cleanup of legacy balances and reconciliations so every account has a defensible, supported position.
Serve as the day-to-day contact for external auditors, managing PBC lists, walkthroughs, and follow-ups, and anticipate what an auditor will ask before they ask it.
Design, document, and operate close controls, process narratives, and an accounting playbook.
Oversee key balance sheet accounts, including cash, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, payroll, commissions, and equity-related balances.
Commissions & Bonus Accounting
Build our commission calculation model from scratch, including plan logic, quota attainment, accelerators, splits, clawbacks, and crediting rules, and own it going forward.
Build and manage our bonus calculation and accrual process from scratch, with clear inputs, review steps, and reconciliation to payroll and the general ledger.
