Come be a part of our journey! ClickHouse is one of the fastest-growing companies in cloud infrastructure, and our Finance team is scaling to match. We’re looking for a Senior Accounting Manager who operates like a builder, not just an operator. This role is responsible for scaling our accounting function from strong foundations to IPO-ready by building processes, implementing systems, and developing a high-performing team in an environment where not everything is defined yet. If you’ve succeeded in high-growth environments, take ownership without waiting for direction, and enjoy solving problems that don’t have a playbook, this role is for you. You’ll report directly to the Controller and play a key role in shaping how accounting is built at ClickHouse. What You'll Be Doing Oversee the day-to-day operations of the accounting department, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting. Own and continuously improve the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes, with a focus on scalability, efficiency, and accuracy. Build and evolve accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls to support a high-growth, IPO-bound company. Identify gaps in existing processes and proactively design and implement solutions even when there is no established playbook. Lead financial audits and coordinate with external auditors, tax consultants, and regulatory agencies. Prepare financial statements, management reports, and other financial analyses to support strategic decision-making. Partner cross-functionally with teams across the business to ensure alignment, accuracy, and strong financial operations. Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing accounting team that operates with ownership, accountability, and collaboration. Drive systems improvements, including accounting software implementations and automation initiatives to reduce manual work, leveraging AI where possible. Review financial reporting packages, including flux analysis, to identify, investigate, and clearly communicate key variances. Continuously improve workflows to increase speed, accuracy, and scalability as the business grows. What You Bring Bachelor’s degree in Accounting. 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including meaningful experience at a high-growth technology or SaaS company. Mix of Big 4 and corporate accounting experience preferred. Proven ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, high-growth environments with evolving priorities and limited structure. Demonstrated experience building or significantly improving accounting processes, systems, or teams from the ground up. Strong sense of ownership and initiative - you identify what needs to be done and drive it forward without waiting for direction. Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and make difficult decisions. Strong communication skills and comfort partnering cross-functionally and with senior leadership. Demonstrated people management excellence, with success building and developing high-performing, collaborative teams. Enthusiasm for process optimization and financial automation at scale.
