Corporate Accounting Manager at ClassDojo

ClassDojo's goal is to give every child on Earth an education they love.

We started by building a powerful network for communication. ClassDojo’s flagship app is the #1 communication app connecting K-12 teachers, children, and families globally. Teachers use it to share what’s happening throughout the day through photos, videos, and messages that make parents feel like they’re there. It’s actively used in over 95% of US schools, reaching over 45 million children in 180 countries, with a team of just around 200 people [1]. We are now beginning to use this network to give kids the best learning experiences in the world, far beyond those a standard school can provide.

We hire for talent density. Our team comprises the most talented, entrepreneurial, and innovative teammates from around the world, with experience in education and large scale consumer internet companies, including Instagram, Netflix, Dropbox, Stripe, Uber, Y Combinator, and more. We’re building a company where the most talented people want to work. We believe you’ll do the best work of your life here—and you’ll pioneer the future of education, too.

Oversee our external accounting team in month-end and quarter-end close, ensuring accurate and timely US GAAP financial statements, and building scalable multi-dimensional reporting

Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors and tax advisors, overseeing audit readiness and compliance across sales tax and income tax reporting
Partner cross-functionally with Strategic Finance, Legal, IT, and People to support business operations and drive key initiatives, including audits and potential M&A activity

You will be a match if:

7+ years of accounting experience (public + industry preferred)
Proven track record of owning close processes and driving efficiency to cut down time to close
Drive for challenging the status quo and re-designing accounting operation processes for scale
