Metabase is the easiest way for people to get insights from their data, from tiny startups who get up and running quickly to major corporations with tens of thousands of users. That's why people love us.
We bring data tools with the elegance and simplicity of consumer products to the crufty world of enterprise business intelligence. We provide an opinionated open source starting point for how companies should measure, analyze and share their data, which is used by tens of thousands of companies.
Metabase’s BizOps & Finance team is looking to add to our team with a high-performer who can manage our accounting, external audit, tax and payments. Our bookkeeping and tax accounting are outsourced, so this will require managing and overseeing external accounting firms. Longer-term we may bring some of these functions in-house. Alongside that you will design and build-out our internal systems, processes and reporting.
The role will offer significant exposure to the financial management of a rapidly growing company, and the opportunity to own and grow our accounting functions. We are a small team, so you should be prepared to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in where you are needed.
Responsibilities
- Working with our external financial accountants, managing the month-end-close process
- Project-managing and liaising with our external financial auditors
- Working with our tax accountants, providing ad-hoc analysis in support of tax submissions and making sure things stay on-track
- Building-out internal reporting
- Designing and implementing financial systems and processes to improve our efficiency
- Owning our payments processes, and helping team members with purchases
- Managing our insurance needs
- Getting stuck in where needed
About You
- Rock-solid quantitative skills: you produce error-free analysis and reports, and can diagnose and solve complex issues in our bookkeeping
- Strong organizational / project-management skills
- CPA with strong knowledge of GAAP
- Roughly 3-5 years experience, preferably in a startup, high-growth company, or public accounting firm
- Strong quantitative undergraduate degree
- Based in the US or Canada
- Low-ego attitude: no job should be too small or too large
- Nice-to-have: experience with tax compliance and working with external auditors
- Nice-to-have: familiarity with QBO
- Nice-to-have: some knowledge of SQL and / or a scripting language to help automate things (e.g. python, javascript, VBA)
We're a global team (50% outside the US), fully distributed (from Thailand to California), who get things done asynchronously, with plenty of uninterrupted time, supporting each other to do the best work of our careers. We offer flexibility (define your own schedule and work from wherever you want), autonomy, and an environment that fosters growth, learning, and development. We're relentlessly user-focused and believe in building long-term value, not short-term hacks. And we raised a $30M Series B to take our approach to the next level for years to come.
