Accounting Subject Matter Expert (CPA)

We’re looking for a mid to senior level Accounting Subject Matter Expert to join Alloy Automation. This role is for someone who has lived inside real accounting workflows, understands how modern teams close the books, and can translate that expertise into product direction, go to market strategy, and customer credibility.

Requirements

• Active CPA license is required.
• 5 to 12+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally a mix of public accounting and industry (controller, assistant controller, or senior manager level).
• Deep hands on knowledge of month end and year end close, account reconciliations, journal entry review, and financial statement preparation.
• Strong understanding of internal controls, audit readiness, materiality, and policy driven accounting decisions.
• Fluency with modern accounting systems and workflows (for example NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, Xero, Dynamics, or similar).
• Proven ability to explain accounting concepts clearly to non accountants and to distill complexity into practical decision making.
• Strong product instincts and comfort operating in ambiguity. You are able to go from a problem statement to a structured proposal without heavy guidance.
• Customer facing confidence. You can earn trust quickly, ask sharp questions, and guide conversations toward the real issue.
• Bias for action and ownership. You do not wait for perfect clarity before contributing, and you follow through to impact.
• Comfort working cross functionally with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success in a fast moving environment.
• Interest in AI, automation, and the future of finance operations. Prior experience with automation or systems projects is a plus.
