Job Description:

Job Description Job Description Life at Plume At Plume, we believe that technology isn't about moving faster, it's about making life's moments better. Which is why we've built the world's first, and only, open and hardware-independent service delivery platform for smart homes, small businesses, enterprises, and beyond. Our SaaS platform uses WiFi, advanced AI, and machine learning to create the future of connected spaces—and human experiences—at massive scale. We now deliver services to over 60 million locations globally and have managed over 3 billion devices on our platform. We're expanding rapidly, pioneering a new category, and we achieved our Series F funding in just four years. Our customers include many of the world's largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who look to Plume to help them evolve their smart home offerings while gleaning insights from their own data. With a bias for action and a love for being trailblazers, the team at Plume embodies a combination of relentless curiosity and imaginative innovation. We challenge ourselves to think in ways that other companies don't, work to do what should be done (rather than what can), and if we can't do it exceptionally well, we don't do it. It's how we've assembled a team of world-class builders, thinkers, and doers. And it's how we're reinventing what's possible every day. Senior Accountant We're seeking a highly motivated Senior Accountant to own our month-end reporting process for a growing global business. In this role, you will orchestrate the reporting calendar, prepare key journals like ASC 718 and reconciliations, build KPI dashboards and variance analyses, and partner across FP&A, Sales, and Operations to turn data into actionable insights. You'll also ensure reporting accuracy under U.S. GAAP (including ASC 606 impacts) and drive scalable process and systems improvements. Responsibilities Lead the monthly close: prepare JEs (revenue), reconcile key balance sheet accounts, maintain revenue/deferral schedules, and ensure timely, accurate results across multiple entities and geographies. Produce the management reporting package: consolidate financials and prior-period flux analyses, and craft commentary for Finance leadership and Board-level materials. Partner cross-functionally with FP&A on reporting, with Sales/Legal on deal terms that affect reporting, and with Data/IT on ERP/BI enhancements; identify and implement automation opportunities. Identify and implement automation and process improvements in revenue recognition and reporting. Prepare revenue-related reporting items under ASC 606 (SSP analyses, contract assets/liabilities roll-forwards) to ensure completeness and consistency in monthly/quarterly results. Prepare and file sales & use/VAT/GST returns, reconcile tax GLs to filings, support audits and respond to notices, and drive process/automation improvements with our tax engine/ERP. Qualifications Bachelor's in Accounting, Finance, or related field (CPA or progress toward CPA preferred). 2–6 years of accounting experience in SaaS/technology or high-growth environments (public accounting/Big 4 a plus). Strong command of U.S. GAAP with hands-on month-end close, consolidations, and management reporting; working knowledge of ASC 606 impacts on reporting. Proficiency with ERP and reporting tools (NetSuite preferred; SFDC, Looker/Tableau/Power BI, advanced Excel/Google Sheets). Excellent analytical, storytelling, and communication skills; high attention to detail and deadlines. Comfortable operating in a dynamic, scaling, multi-entity global organization. About Plume As the creator of the only open, hardware-independent, cloud-controlled experience platform for ISPs and their subscribers, Plume partners with over 400 ISP customers, including some of the world's largest such as Comcast, Charter, Liberty Global, and J:COM. Using OpenSync, the most widely supported open-source, silicon-to-cloud framework for smart spaces, Plume's software-defined network allows ISPs to decouple their service offerings from hardware and rapidly curate and deliver new services over a multi-vendor, open-platform architecture. Plume is an equal opportunity workplace that maintains a continuing policy of nondiscrimination in all employment practices and decisions, ensuring equal employment opportunities for all qualified individuals without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex, national origin, age, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, pregnancy, childbirth or related individual conditions, medical conditions (as defined by state law), military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local law.
