Accounting Manager, GL & Close

About the job

Deepgram is the leading platform underpinning the emerging trillion-dollar Voice AI economy, providing real-time APIs for speech-to-text (STT), text-to-speech (TTS), and building production-grade voice agents at scale.

What You'll Do

• Push the close forward. Own the critical-path workstreams and drive them to done. Chase open items, unblock the team, escalate early, and keep the calendar honest.
• Prepare the complex and judgmental areas. Stock-based compensation, leases, capitalized software, payroll and compensation accruals, intercompany and foreign currency.
• Review the established areas. Fixed assets, prepaids, cash, recurring accruals and journal entries, AP, expense reports - prepared by the Senior Accountant and offshore team, reviewed by you.
• Own the tie-out and the story. Consolidation and the close package, plus flux analysis in narrative.
• Manage and develop the team. Coach the Senior Accountant, set the standard, and delegate in ways that grow them.
• Be a day-to-day owner in the first external audit. Build PBC packages and run walkthroughs.
• Design close controls that survive SOX. Documented, evidenced, repeatable.
• Own your workstream in ERP migration off Xero. Close-process design, subledger migration, cutover reconciliations.
• Rebuild the work around AI. Reconciliation matching, anomaly detection, schedule generation, workflow automation.

What You'll Need

• 6+ years of progressive accounting experience, including technical close areas and real experience reviewing another accountant's work.
• Active CPA preferred. Big 4 or national firm foundation a plus.
• Deep operational US GAAP fluency in capitalization, equity compensation, leases, payroll, intercompany, and foreign currency.
• Hands-on ERP and systems experience with equity administration platforms, payroll systems, close tooling, and spend platforms.
• Demonstrated AI-native working style. Use LLMs daily on accounting work with reasoned views on where AI is trustworthy.
• Comfort writing small scripts (Python, SQL, Apps Script) for schedules and reconciliations.
• Strong written communication and reviewer instincts.
• High integrity, high ownership, low ego.

It Would Be Great If You Had

• Experience preparing for or running a company's first external audit.
• Experience implementing or migrating an ERP.
• SaaS, usage-based, or AI infrastructure accounting experience.
• Multi-entity and international intercompany accounting exposure.
• SOX control design or public-company close experience.
• Experience working with offshore or outsourced accounting teams.
• Reasoned views on the modern accounting stack developed through use.
