The Opportunity

New Gig Solutions has partnered with a growing public company to find a Lead Technical Accountant who wants to build real technical depth early, not just check boxes.

You'll sit close to the Financial Reporting Manager and get pulled into the parts of accounting most people don't see until much later in their career: SEC filings, GAAP research on tricky judgment calls, and the control environment that keeps a public company audit-ready year-round. It's a chance to learn by doing, on real filings, with real stakes.

Open to remote candidates based in the Pacific Time Zone.

A Day in This Role Might Look Like

Reporting that actually matters

• Pulling together pieces of the 10-Q, 10-K, and 8-K filings — numbers and footnotes both
• Chasing down data across accounting, finance, and ops teams so the reporting holds up
• Owning the models behind judgment-heavy estimates (think inventory reserves, warranty accruals) and making sure they'd survive an audit
• Digging into new GAAP guidance or an unusual transaction and writing up a clear, well-supported conclusion
• Jumping in on the one-off, non-recurring items that don't fit a template

Keeping the close on track

• Building reconciliations and schedules for the trickier corners of the close
• Finding ways to make the close documentation faster and cleaner over time

Controls that hold up under scrutiny

• Keeping SOX documentation current as processes and risks shift
• Working alongside outside SOX advisors and auditors
• Helping roll out control changes and supporting walkthroughs/testing when auditors come knocking

What Makes You a Fit

• A couple years of public accounting experience under your belt (preferred), plus accounting experience at a public company
• Working toward your CPA or already there — a plus, not a dealbreaker
• Bonus points for Shareworks or NetSuite exposure
• You're an Excel power user
• You don't need someone looking over your shoulder, but you're just as comfortable in a team
• Multiple deadlines and moving pieces don't rattle you
• You write and speak clearly — this role talks to a lot of different people
• You'd rather fix a broken process than just work around it

Why Take a Look

Few early-career roles put you this close to the real mechanics of public company reporting and controls. If you want to fast-track the kind of experience that usually takes years to accumulate — and take real ownership while you're at it — this is worth a conversation.
