You’ll partner closely with the Director of Accounting, AR Specialist, and Accounting Associate to ensure responsibilities are clearly owned and well-coordinated.

• Core Accounting & Month-End Close:
  Own key areas of the month-end close end-to-end, including preparing journal entries, reconciliations, and roll forwards across revenue, equity, sales tax, and other balance sheet accounts while consistently hitting our 10-day close target.

  Prepare and reconcile pay runs across multiple countries and systems; prepare payroll, compensation, and payroll tax accrual journal entries, and ensure all payroll-related balances are fully reconciled each month. Prepare and initiate contractor and channel partner match payments, reconcile benefit accruals, and manage payroll adjustments.
• Revenue Cycle Management:
  Own the revenue cycle from contract to cash, including reviewing contracts and invoicing schedules, calculating monthly revenue recognition and deferrals, recording commission expense, and reconciling accounts receivable and deferred revenue balances. Partner closely with the AR Specialist and growth team to ensure billing, cash application, and revenue recognition stay aligned as the business scales.
• Technical Accounting, Compliance, & Audit Support:
  Support technical accounting areas under U.S. GAAP; prepare schedules and analyses for external audits, tax filings, and advisory engagements; and partner with external advisors to address accounting and compliance questions as they arise.

• Team & Cross-Functional Partnership:
  Act as a trusted accounting partner to teams across the business, support knowledge sharing and cross-training within the accounting team, and bring an ownership-oriented mindset to how accounting supports Hallow’s broader mission and growth.
