Director of Technical Accounting

Whop is on a mission to deliver everyone a sustainable income. Today, 50,000 people make money on Whop every month, and Whop users are on track to earn more than $5 billion this year. We are building the infrastructure for the next generation of internet entrepreneurs, and we will keep going until one billion people earn money on Whop every month.

We are seeking a Director of Accounting to serve as a senior technical accounting resource and a builder of scalable corporate-accounting processes.

This leader will own or lead the accounting analysis and execution for complex accounting matters across the business, including leases, equity and stock-based compensation, cost capitalization, impairment, debt and other financing arrangements, revenue, and other non-routine transactions.

• Serve as the company’s technical accounting authority: research, conclude on, and document complex and non-routine transactions under U.S. GAAP, including leases, equity and stock-based compensation, capitalized costs, fixed and intangible assets, impairment, debt and financing arrangements, revenue, and strategic transactions.

• Own financial-statement disclosures, footnotes, accounting policies, and technical schedules, and monitor new standards for their impact on the company.

• Act as the primary contact for external auditors on technical matters, keeping positions well supported and audit-ready.

• Partner with Legal, People, Tax, FP&A, and executive leadership so accounting implications are identified before transactions are finalized.

• Lead the corporate-accounting close and control environment: reconciliations, account ownership, segregation of duties, approval controls, accruals, and audit evidence across close, procure-to-pay, payroll accounting, and fixed assets.

• Own the accounting design of our new Net Suite ERP as we stand it up, continuously refining configuration, workflows, data integrity, and reporting so the system scales with the business.

• Implement AI into individual steps of accounting workflows, with appropriate controls, review, and documentation around each use.

• Build the policies, process narratives, control matrices, and training that make the function repeatable and ready to scale; mentor and develop the accounting team.

• 8+ years of progressive accounting experience with a meaningful technical accounting and financial-reporting component; fintech, SaaS, or another high-growth technology environment preferred.

• Deep U.S. GAAP knowledge across leases, equity and stock-based compensation, capitalization, impairment, financing transactions, and revenue.

• Track record drafting technical accounting memos, preparing disclosures, and working directly with external auditors.

• Hands‑on experience owning or implementing an ERP, ideally Net Suite, and using modern finance tools and automation to improve the close.

• A track record of proactively using AI tools to refine or create new processes with demonstrated, significant gains in speed. Experience with Git Hub is a nice to have.

• CPA required or strongly preferred;
  Big Four or similarly rigorous public‑accounting experience preferred.

• The judgment to distinguish routine operating decisions from transactions requiring technical analysis, escalation, or auditor consultation.

• SOX, IPO readiness, or public-company reporting.

• Multi‑entity, international, intercompany, or foreign‑currency accounting.
