有很多事情需要解决。你将主导这项工作，制定标准，并在与我们的审计师、估值专家和外部会计顾问的会议中成为最终的技术权威。

## **Company Operating Rhythm**
At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.
Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.
Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5.
Deepgram is hiring a Director, Technical Accounting & Financial Reporting to help prepare the company for its first external audit and, ultimately, for public markets. You'll report directly to the Chief Accounting Officer and work alongside a small, scrappy finance team — owning the technical accounting and financial reporting work that takes a private company from where we are today to audit-ready and IPO-ready.
There's a lot to figure out. You'll quarterback the work, set the standards, and be the buck-stops-here technical authority in the room with our auditors, valuation specialists, and external accounting advisors.

### **What You'll Do**
- Own technical accounting across the topics that will define our audit and S-1, including revenue recognition (ASC 606), stock-based compensation and equity transactions (ASC 718), capitalized software (internal-use and software to be sold), leases (ASC 842), business combinations (ASC 805), and complex financing instruments.
- Own GAAP financial statement preparation and footnote disclosures from the ground up, including MD&A and the disclosures required for registration.
- Quarterback the external audit — build the policy library, stand up the PBC process, and serve as the primary technical point of contact for auditors. Defend positions independently.
- Scope and manage external technical accounting advisors — direct their work, decide when to bring them in versus execute in-house, and hold them to our standards.
- Own the relationship with valuation specialists on 409As, purchase price allocations, and intangible asset valuations.
- Partner with tax advisors on international transfer pricing and intercompany accounting.
- Lay the foundation for SEC reporting (S-1, 10-K, 10-Q) and SOX readiness — design the workflows, controls, and calendars that will support public-company operations.
- Develop and document accounting policies that are clear, defensible, and scalable.
- Leverage AI aggressively — for research, memo drafting, tie-outs, disclosure benchmarking, and workflow automation — and build your own tooling where it helps.
- Build the team as we scale.
### **What You'll Need**
- Active CPA, with a strong Big 4 or national firm foundation.
- 8+ years of progressive experience in technical accounting and/or financial reporting, with deep fluency in US GAAP.
- Hands-on technical range across revenue (606), equity comp (718), leases (842), and business combinations (805) — you can take on a gnarly issue and come back with a defensible memo you drafted yourself.
- Experience preparing GAAP financial statements and footnotes from scratch, not just reviewing them.
- Experience managing external auditors and external accounting consultants — you know how to scope, direct, and push back.
- A builder's instinct — comfort with ambiguity, no waiting for playbooks, strong bias to ship.
- A demonstrated AI-native working style — you use LLMs daily for drafting, research, and analysis, and can talk concretely about what these tools do well and where they fall short for accountants.
- Strong written and verbal communication — you can translate technical accounting for non-accountants without losing precision.
- Comfort vibe-coding small scripts or automations (Python, SQL, etc.) to accelerate your own work.
- High integrity, high ownership, low ego.
### **It Would Be Great If You Had**
- Prior experience preparing a company for its first external audit.
- Prior experience taking a company public (S-1, IPO readiness, first 10-K).
- Capitalized software accounting experience in a SaaS or AI business.
- Experience coordinating with valuation specialists on 409As, PPAs, or intangible asset valuations.
- Exposure to international transfer pricing or intercompany accounting.
- Working knowledge of Workiva, NetSuite, FloQast, or similar tools — and strong opinions about them.
