ABOUT THE JOB

We’re looking for an Accounting Manager who doesn’t just keep the books clean - they build the systems, processes, and controls that scale with the business.

In this role, you’ll own the core accounting engine at RADAR: driving a fast, accurate month-end close, leveling up our financial infrastructure, and helping us get audit-ready for the first time. You’ll be at the center of how money moves through the company - from revenue and inventory to payments, systems, and reporting - with real influence on how we operate as we grow.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who likes to roll up their sleeves, spot inefficiencies, and turn “how it’s always been done” into something better. You’ll partner across the company, shape processes from the ground up, and help build a modern, scalable accounting function powered by tools like NetSuite, Bill.com, Brex, Rippling, and more.

Responsibilities:

• Own and drive the month-end close - ensuring speed, accuracy, and zero surprises
• Build and deliver clear, insightful financial reporting for leadership, including variance analysis and key business drivers and actionable insights for the business to improve operations and financial performance
• Raise the bar on accounting quality, controls, and GAAP compliance across the board
• Apply technical accounting expertise (ASC 606, ASC 842, etc.) to real-world business decisions
• Manage Procure-to-Pay workflows end-to-end, ensuring clean data, strong controls, and smooth operations
• Prepare and work through our first external audit with us
• Design, document, and continuously improve accounting policies, processes, and internal controls
• Own inventory accounting across raw materials, WIP, finished goods, and in-transit inventory for our integrated hardware / software platform
• Partner with external tax advisors and support income tax preparation
• Support international expansion and the complexities that come with it
• Work closely with the NetSuite team to stabilize, optimize, and expand our ERP capabilities
• Lead, mentor, and elevate the accounting team - setting a high bar for quality and ownership
• Collaborate cross-functionally with teams across Procurement, Growth, Operations, HR, Legal, Tax, IT, and Strategic Finance
