  • Serve as the primary liaison for external auditors, coordinating and managing financial audit processes and preparing audit schedules where required.
  • Develop and implement robust internal controls, identify and drive process improvements, and enhance the accuracy and reliability of financial reporting.
  • Stay current with and implement new accounting standards and regulatory requirements as the business evolves, ensuring Watershed remains compliant and well-positioned for future growth.
  • Work closely with the broader finance team to analyze financial results, support budgeting and forecasting processes, and provide insights that inform strategic decision-making.
  • Oversee the management of accounting systems and tools, ensuring successful integration with other business platforms and adding capabilities to improve productivity, accuracy, and control as needed.
  • Collaborate with key departments to scale company-wide systems and processes, with a focus on meeting the stringent requirements of a public company over time.
  • Lead, develop, and mentor a growing accounting team, fostering a culture of excellence, continuous learning, and high performance.
Requirements
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 3 years in a managerial role.
  • Strong foundation in technical accounting (US GAAP) and financial reporting, including demonstrated proficiency in ASC 606/revenue recognition, entity establishment and consolidations, acquisitions, purchase price accounting, and other complex technical accounting areas.
  • Advanced proficiency in accounting software (e.g., NetSuite, SAP) and Excel.
  • Proven track record in managing and scaling accounting operations within a high-growth private or public technology company, preferably in the enterprise SaaS space.
  • Extensive experience in developing and implementing internal controls, and establishing accounting policies, procedures, and best practices that scale to public company standards.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret complex financial data and provide actionable insights in an innovative, fast-paced, and rapidly evolving environment.
  • Demonstrated success in leading and developing high-performing global accounting teams, particularly in dynamic and fast-paced environments.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
