Why Kikoff:

This is a consumer fintech startup, and you will be working with serial entrepreneurs who have built strong consumer brands and innovative products. We value extreme ownership, clear communication, a strong sense of craftsmanship, and the desire to create lasting work and work relationships. Yes, you can build an exciting business AND have real-life real-customer impact.

Kikoff is preparing to become a public company, and the accounting foundation for that is still being built. That's this job. You'll own everything outside of revenue, from the vendor invoice to the cap table. You'll lead a growing team, turn a manual, multi-entity close into one that's fast, predictable, and audit-ready, and help build the SEC reporting process we'll need as a public company.

Most accounting managers have to pick a track. They either run the close or work on technical accounting and SEC reporting. Here you get both. You'll own the day-to-day operations, and you'll also work directly with the US Controller and our Senior Manager of Technical Accounting & SEC Reporting on share-based compensation, EPS, segment reporting, and our first SEC filings. If you're a strong operator who wants technical depth and public-company experience, this role is built for you.

You'll have real authority to change how things work. You'll report to the US Controller who expects you to make the calls, and you'll join a team that uses AI in how it does the work every day, not as a side project.

If you were the person who fixed the close at your last company and you'd like to build it right from the start this time, we'd like to talk.

• Make the close predictable. Take a manual, reactive close across multiple entities, including intercompany, and make it fast and repeatable.
• Get us public-company ready. Build the systems, close automation, controls, and SEC reporting processes a company needs before an IPO.
• Own the full picture. AP, payroll, leases, fixed assets, and equity accounting all roll up to you.

• The close: Monthly, quarterly, and annual close, consolidation, and financial statements across multiple entities, including intercompany.
• Month-end close decks: Prepare the monthly close deck for the Finance leadership, covering results, key fluxes, and what's driving them.
• Non-revenue accounting: Operating expenses, accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, leases, and payroll.
• Equity accounting: Share-based compensation expense (ASC 718), equity activity, and earnings per share (ASC 260), including EPS calculations and disclosures.
• SEC reporting: Partner with our Senior Manager of Technical Accounting & SEC Reporting on the financial statements, and footnotes. Learn SEC reporting from the inside while bringing the operational rigor that makes the filings accurate.
• Segment reporting: Help build our segment reporting under ASC 280, including the new significant segment expense disclosures.
• AP and AR: AP oversight, plus lighter-touch oversight of AR, through the AP/AR Specialist.
• Analysis: Detailed flux and variance analysis. You'll dig into anything unexpected and make sure the teams that drive the numbers understand them.
• Audit: Lead the end-to-end external audit for non-revenue areas.
• Technical accounting: Work through complex accounting…
