About the RoleWe're looking for a hands-on accountant who ideally has been the number two on a monthly close and an annual audit, and who is ready to step up.

Why CompStakCompStak is the leading crowdsourced data platform for commercial real estate, giving brokers, appraisers, and institutional investors access to lease and sale comp data they can't get anywhere else.

- Own recurring compliance: sales tax (Avalara), 1099s, state filings and 401(k) remittances
- Recommend improvements to our controls, policies and controllership as we grow
What We're Looking For
- 5–8 years in accounting, including time as the number two on a close and audit (senior accountant, assistant controller or accounting manager), at a SaaS company or in public accounting
- Experience managing or mentoring accountants, including remote or international team members
- Strong US GAAP, including ASC 606 and ASC 842
- Multi-entity or foreign subsidiary consolidation experience
- Hands-on NetSuite experience; Ordway, Ramp and Avalara a plus
- Has used AI or automation tools to cut real time out of accounting work, with examples you can show us
- CPA, or progress toward it, preferred
- A builder's mindset and a willingness to do work at every level
