Job description

Who we are Neros is a defense technology company rebuilding America’s drone industrial base. We design and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are tested in combat, iterated at startup speed, and built at massive scale. Our team culture is fast, hands-on, and obsessed with closing the gap between design and deployment. As drones transform the character of warfare, Neros is delivering the systems the West needs to compete on the modern battlefield and deter the adversaries of democracy. We’re hiring engineers, operators, and builders who want to move fast, take on extreme ownership, and get capability into the hands of warfighters in months, not years. What you will be doing Own the month-end close for assigned areas — journal entries, accruals, reserves, balance sheet reconciliations, and flux analysis — and deliver accurate financial statements on a close calendar that gets shorter as we scale Own the full cycle for AP and AR: vendor invoice coding and approvals, customer invoicing, cash application, account reconciliation, and monitoring of both balances against aging and cash targets Prepare schedules, technical support, and documentation for the external audit, and serve as a primary point of contact for auditor requests Build and document repeatable processes and internal controls in anticipation of SOX compliance, including control narratives, evidence retention, and segregation-of-duties design Drive process improvement and automation across the close and transactional cycles — reducing manual effort so headcount growth stays well behind revenue growth Partner across FP&A, Operations, and Supply Chain on special projects, systems work, and ad hoc analysis as the business scales You should have the following 4–8 years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 2 years in public accounting (audit) at a Big 4 firm CPA license, or CPA-eligible and actively pursuing certification Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field Industry experience at either a high-growth private company that scaled revenue materially, or a small-cap / recently public company — you've seen accounting infrastructure get built rather than inherited a mature one Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and demonstrated ownership of month-end close cycles end to end Hands-on experience with a mid-market or enterprise ERP (NetSuite strongly preferred; Oracle, Sage Intacct, or similar considered) plus advanced Excel — pivot tables, lookups, and comfort working with large transaction-level data sets Exposure to SOX and internal controls over financial reporting, whether through audit engagements or in-house implementation Ability to communicate financial information clearly and credibly to executives, cross-functional peers, and external auditors High attention to detail paired with sound judgment on materiality, and comfort operating with ambiguity in a fast-changing environment Nice to have Direct involvement in IPO readiness or an S-1 process — technical memos, PCAOB-standard audits, or public-company reporting infrastructure Inventory and cost accounting experience in a hardware, manufacturing, or physical-product business Experience implementing or migrating an ERP, or standing up automation across close and transactional processes US Salary Range $133,000 – $186,000 USD The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are considered part of Neros' total compensation package. We’re an equal opportunity employer. We welcome all applicants without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status.
