Accountant

🌍 We’re making security suck less for developers.

Security tools haven’t kept up with how software is built today. They interrupt teams, slow releases, and turn security into a bottleneck instead of a capability. We built Aikido to change that. Aikido builds developer-first security products that reduce real risk without getting in the way of shipping software. We focus on what actually matters and automate the rest.

We’re taking on legacy security tools teams have been stuck with, and we’re winning. If you want to help us take market share and build products developers actually enjoy using, you’re in the right place.

Founded in 2022 by third-time founders, Aikido has $85M in the bank and a long runway ahead. We’re building toward self-securing software. Join an all-star team. Take real ownership. Push boundaries. Build things that matter.

We're hiring a US Accountant to own day-to-day accounting for our US entity as we build a public-company-ready finance function. You'll run the US close, keep the books audit-ready under US GAAP, and help put the controls and reporting in place that an IPO requires.

Responsibilities:

• Run the monthly and quarterly close for the US entity: journal entries, accruals, prepaids, fixed assets and balance sheet reconciliations

• Account for SaaS subscription revenue under ASC 606, including deferred revenue and contract review with the revenue team

• Manage intercompany transactions and reconciliations with our Belgian parent, and support US GAAP to IFRS reporting for group consolidation

• Own US payables and receivables processes, vendor setup, 1099 reporting and sales tax filings, working with outside advisors

• Document processes and run internal controls as we build toward SOX compliance

• Prepare schedules and answer requests for the annual audit and quarterly reviews

• Help roll out our new ERP and automate manual steps in the close

• Support FP&A with clean actuals and variance explanations
