Job description

At Intento, we automate language translation for Fortune‑500 companies using AI agents. We help global brands provide a native language experience for all their customers across all markets, at all touchpoints.

We’re establishing a rigorous, in‑house accounting function to support scale. You’ll own the month‑end close, centralize AP / AR, implement US GAAP revenue recognition, and build a fast, accurate finance foundation—with a growth path to Controller and potentially CFO.

Why Join Us?

At Intento, we are redefining the future of translation and multilingual AI. Join us, and be a part of this groundbreaking journey where innovation meets excellence. Intento is a diverse team of over 80+ talented individuals working remotely from different parts of the world. At Intento, we value our employees and strive to create a work environment that promotes collaboration, flexibility, and growth. As part of our commitment to our team, we offer competitive salaries, a flexible remote culture, and a supportive and collaborative work environment.

What you’ll do

  • Own the close : Stand up and run a disciplined month‑end close with a D+5 target; maintain checklists, reconciliations, and documentation.
  • Implement revenue recognition : Establish and operate policies aligned with US GAAP (ASC 606) for subscription and services models.
  • Centralize AP & AR : Build vendor onboarding, approvals, payment runs, invoicing, collections cadence, and cash application with clear SLAs and controls.
  • Strengthen controls : Define policies (COA hygiene, accruals / prepaids, fixed assets, purchasing / approvals, documentation, segregation of duties).
  • Improve visibility : Deliver timely actuals, BvA reporting, COGS / gross margin by stream, and a rolling cash view; partner closely with leadership.
  • Scale the function : Identify automation opportunities for AI and software tools and (when volumes warrant) help scope junior support.

What success looks like

  • Month‑end close at D+5 with clean reconciliations and minimal post‑close adjustments.
  • Accurate ASC 606 revenue recognition across subscription and services.
  • Centralized AP / AR with reliable approvals, on‑time payments, improving DSO, and high cash‑application accuracy.
  • Clear monthly BvA and gross margin insights that leadership trusts.
  • This is a remote position; it’s open for candidates based in the EST & CST time zones of the U.S. or willing to work hours overlapping with the U.S. Eastern Time Zone (typically starting around 8 a.m. EST ± 8 hours).

    The expected base salary range for this role is $100K–$120K USD per year, depending on experience. We also offer health benefits, performance-based bonus opportunities, and equity potential.

    Must-haves :

  • CPA (active or inactive) — required.
  • 6–9+ years total accounting experience with hands‑on ownership of the monthly close at a startup / scale‑up.
  • Demonstrated ASC 606 implementation for SaaS + services (practical, not just theoretical).
  • Proven experience centralizing AP and AR with documented controls and SLAs.
  • Strong US GAAP fundamentals; excellent Excel / Sheets; comfort with modern accounting stacks (e.g., QBO / NetSuite, payroll / EOR, expense / AP, billing / collections).
  • Nice-to-haves

  • Public accounting (Big 4 or similar) and / or Controller‑track experience.
  • Exposure to equity accounting and sales / use tax coordination.
  • Experience improving gross‑margin reporting for cloud / service environments.
