Kit is an email-first operating system for creators who mean business. We help creators grow and monetize their audience with ease. For coaches, YouTubers, authors, podcasters, and other creatives, there isn't a better marketing hub to rely on to grow audiences, automate email marketing, and sell digital products — all within one platform.

More importantly, there isn't a team more committed to helping creators earn a living. We're on a mission to help creators earn $1 billion using our creator marketing platform. We have always been 100% independent and 100% remote.

We are proud to have built a product that our customers love, and we look for people who have enthusiasm and belief in our mission, vision, and values to join our team. We're also embracing AI thoughtfully — both in how we build and how we hire to ensure our team is adaptable, innovative, and ready for what's next.

The role

We’re building a stronger in-house accounting function as we scale, and we need an Accounting Manager to own the day-to-day accounting operations, run a clean month-end close, and tighten the processes that keep our books accurate and reliable.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys getting their hands dirty, improving messy workflows, and building repeatable systems that scale.

This is a full-time individual contributor role. You’ll be accountable for day-to-day accounting workflows and will be the primary point of coordination for our part-time AP contractor and our product-aligned finance partner. You’ll also partner closely with our FP&A manager. 

Your support system

You’ll report to Anthony Wakim, Director of Finance and collaborate closely with:

• Our FP&A Manager (for forecasting, budget vs actuals, and clean mappings that make reporting trustworthy)

• A part-time AP contractor (Bill.com, Brex, invoice intake, payment runs)

• A finance liaison supporting advertiser billing and payments (AR-adjacent workflows)

• External partners and business stakeholders as needed 

What you'll do

• First Week: Get set up in the tools (QBO, Stripe, Bill.com, Brex, Runway, Tax Jar, Sheets/Excel) and learn how data flows between them. Review the month-end close calendar, recurring journal entries, key reconciliations, and supporting schedules.. Take part in GTKYs (Get-To-Know-You ) to meet close partners across Operations, and key business units.

• First Month: Take ownership of the close process, with support as needed, while improving timelines, handoffs, and overall execution. Build and kick off a 90-day transition plan to fully bring accounting in-house, including ownership mapping, close calendar, and cutover milestones. Document “what’s true today” for close steps, owners, and dependencies (short, practical SOP style). Review the close process end to end, flag the biggest drivers of delay or rework (if any), and lock in improvements across coding, revenue workflows, payouts/refunds, and reconciliations.

• First Six Months: Own and run a repeatable close process that is faster and more predictable, with fewer surprises. Improve core schedules (prepaids, accruals, merchant fees, refunds, payouts, key balance sheet accounts) so they are clean and easy to maintain. Strengthen revenue workflows across multiple revenue streams (subscriptions plus other product lines), including clearer tagging and reporting paths. Complete the transition off our third-party bookkeeping partner (target: within ~90 days) and run the close fully in-house with a stable, repeatable process.

• First Year: Accounting operations are stable, documented, and scalable. Finance leaders and business partners trust the numbers and can use them confidently. Close timing supports a consistent monthly business review cadence. Revenue and payout-related workflows are well-documented and reliable across subscriptions and other product lines. 

What will S.E.T. you up for success 

Skills

• Month-end close ownership (journal entries, accruals, prepaids, reconciliations, balance sheet integrity)

• Strong judgment and problem-solving in real-world, messy systems

• Revenue and cash flow mechanics in subscription and multi-stream environments

• Process design (building SOPs, controls, and workflows that scale)

• Clear communication across stakeholders (timelines, trade-offs, and follow-through) 

Experiences

• 6+ years of accounting experience with meaningful close ownership

• Experience in SaaS and multi-revenue-stream businesses

• Experience improving or rebuilding processes (not just operating mature ones)

• Experience managing and coordinating with external partners

• Experience with modern finance tooling (QBO, Stripe, Bill.com, Brex, Sheets/Excel)

Traits

• Owner mindset: You see gaps, fix them, and follow through without needing a lot of direction.

• Strong judgment: You know when “good and consistent” beats “perfect but late,” and when accuracy and controls must win.

• Systems thinker: You spot the root cause (not just the symptom), then improve the workflow so it stays fixed.

• Comfort in ambiguity: You can operate well when the process is evolving, and help make it clearer for everyone else.

• Practical process builder: You like SOPs and checklists that are actually usable, not performative documentation.

• Detail-first, but not stuck: You catch issues early, and you can still keep momentum during close.

• Cross-functional translator: You can explain accounting impacts to non-accountants

What won't set you up for success

• Preferring fully mature systems and stable processes, versus improving and rebuilding them in a scaling company.

• Wanting a role that is mostly oversight vs being hands on and doing the work

• Avoiding cross-functional coordination or uncomfortable conversations

• Optimizing only for speed, without balancing accuracy and control

• Treating close as the finish line instead of the start of learning and improvement

Working hours and location

We're 100% remote with team members across the globe. We work mostly on East Coast time—so if you're based on the West Cost of the United States, Europe, or Asia, you might have a few early mornings or late evenings. We do our best to keep things reasonable, but a little time zone juggling comes with the territory.

For this role, we strongly prefer meaningful daily overlap with US Eastern working hours.
