Accounting Manager at forum ventures | LAYIQ

You’ve owned a close.
5–10 years of progressive accounting experience, including full ownership of a monthly close — calendar, entries, reconciliations, and the deadline.
You’re credentialed.
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required; CPA strongly preferred.
Your GAAP and controls are real.
Accruals, cutoffs, revenue recognition, inventory/COGS accounting, and internal controls you can apply without looking them up, and explain to a non-accountant.
You have range.
Equally credible posting a journal entry and writing the policy that governs it. Controller-level judgment, bookkeeper-level willingness.
You’re strong with systems.
Deep QuickBooks Online (or equivalent ERP) skills, comfort with integrated fintech stacks like Ramp and bill-pay tools, and ideally a migration or implementation under your belt.
You’re accurate under deadline.
Detail-obsessed, tie-out disciplined, and calm when close week collides with an urgent ask.
You’re comfortable with ambiguity.
Processes are being built, not inherited. You’d rather write the SOP than ask for one.
