About the Role

Armada AI is building the next generation of edge infrastructure and AI systems — and we need exceptional finance talent to match. As Technical Accounting Manager, you will serve as the right hand to the Director of Technical Accounting, driving complex US GAAP research, owning key components of audit readiness, and partnering cross-functionally to ensure our accounting framework keeps pace with rapid business growth.

This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for a technically sharp accountant who thrives in fast-moving environments and wants to grow into a senior leadership position.

Location. This role is remote-based on the continental US.

Main responsibilities:

Technical Accounting Research & Memos

Lead and execute complex US GAAP research across key areas including ASC 606 (revenue recognition), ASC 842 (leases), ASC 718 (stock-based compensation), and ASC 340-40 (sales commissions).
Draft and review technical accounting position papers and memoranda, with clear conclusions and audit-defensible rationale.
Monitor emerging standards (FASB and SEC) and assess applicability and impact to Armada's business model.
Support the Director in evaluating accounting implications of new products, business models, and strategic transactions including M&A, equity financings, and international expansion.

Audit Readiness & SOX Compliance

Own the preparation of audit-ready financial statement schedules, account reconciliations, and supporting workpapers for interim and year-end external audit cycles.
Collaborate with external auditors on technical accounting and financial reporting matters, responding to auditor inquiries and managing PBC (prepared-by-client) deliverable lists.
Prepare process walkthroughs and build control frameworks for future SOX compliance.
Identify control deficiencies or gaps and drive remediation efforts in coordination with Internal Audit and the broader Finance team.
Support the preparation of financial statement footnote disclosures in accordance with US GAAP and SEC regulations.

Policy Development & Implementation

Assist in drafting, maintaining, and operationalizing corporate accounting policies to ensure consistent application across the global organization.
Translate complex accounting standards into clear, practical guidance for non-accounting stakeholders.
Drive implementation of new accounting standards, coordinating with systems, operations, and FP&A teams to ensure smooth adoption.

Cross-Functional Partnership

Collaborate with Engineering, Product, Legal, and Tax teams to assess accounting implications of new initiatives prior to execution — including novel AI/edge product structures and international launches.
Partner with FP&A and Corporate Development to ensure deal economics and business model changes are correctly reflected in the financial statements.
Build trusted relationships with operational stakeholders to proactively surface and resolve accounting issues before they become audit findings.

Team Leadership & Development

Create a culture of technical excellence, intellectual curiosity, and continuous improvement within the technical accounting function.
Provide training and guidance on US GAAP topics and company accounting policies to the broader Finance and Accounting organization.

Qualifications:

6-8 years of progressive accounting experience, with demonstrated technical accounting depth.

Demonstrated experience preparing or reviewing technical accounting memos and position papers.
Experience supporting external audits (preparation of workpapers, audit liaison, PBC management).
Solid understanding of SOX compliance requirements, internal controls design, and testing.
CPA license required.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience at a high-growth technology, SaaS, or infrastructure company.
Familiarity with multi-national consolidations and international accounting considerations.
