Director of Accounting

We're building the creative layer for modern communication. Every month, over a billion people make presentations — but the tools they use to make them haven't evolved in decades. We're changing that, using AI to disrupt a massive market.

📈 Millions of people rely on Gamma to create, teach, and persuade, creating more than 1 million gammas every day.

💻 We see Gamma as the next great workplace tool, combining viral B2C love with a massive B2B opportunity. We believe AI can be a true creative partner : one that understands context, clarity, and taste.

💸 We’ve reached a $2.1B valuation , crossed $100M in annual recurring revenue , and have been profitable since 2023.

💙 We're an imaginative, passionate team who takes our work seriously, but not ourselves. Our culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity.

About the role

You’ll build and lead Gamma's Accounting function as we scale from Series B into our next stage of growth. This means bringing accounting fully in-house, establishing scalable processes and controls, and preparing the company for audit. You'll own the full accounting cycle, ensure GAAP compliance, manage payroll and equity operations, and partner cross‑functionally to drive operational excellence.

This role is ideal for a detail‑oriented finance leader who thrives in dynamic environments and enjoys building from the ground up. You'll balance strategic oversight with hands‑on execution, implementing systems and automation that streamline workflows while maintaining accuracy and control. You'll also hire and mentor a small, high‑performing accounting team as we continue to scale.

Our team has a strong in‑office culture and works in person 4–5 days per week in San Francisco. We love working together to stay creative and connected, with flexibility to work from home when focus matters most.

What you’ll do

Bring accounting fully in‑house from third‑party vendors, establishing scalable processes, systems, controls, and automation tools

Own monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes, building a chart of accounts and reporting structure that supports department‑level P&L visibility

Develop and maintain strong internal controls and documentation, managing external auditors and establishing GAAP policies for revenue recognition, expense classification, and capitalization

Own all aspects of SaaS revenue recognition (ASC 606) including contracts, renewals, and deferred revenue, partnering with Sales Ops, Legal, and FP&A

Oversee payroll operations and ensure compliance with federal, state, and international labor and tax regulations across all operating geographies

Manage stock‑based compensation accounting and own the integrity and reconciliation of HRIS, payroll, and accounting systems

Build scalable processes for headcount planning, payroll reporting, and compensation expense forecasting in collaboration with FP&A and People teams

Build, lead, and mentor a high‑performing accounting team while managing the transition from outsourced vendors and partnering cross‑functionally with FP&A, HR, Legal, and Operations

10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including public accounting (Big 4 or national firm) and in‑house corporate experience at a high‑growth SaaS or technology company

Strong technical accounting skills, including ASC 606 (Revenue Recognition), ASC 842 (Leases), and consolidation

Compensation range :

Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including but not limited to experience and expertise in the requirements listed above.

If you’re interested in this role but you don’t meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply anyway! We’re always excited about meeting great people.

You get energy from small teams doing big things.

You love when design, code, and storytelling overlap.

You default to action, even when the answer isn’t clear yet.

You value details, but know when to ship and move on.

You bring both the spreadsheets and the sparkle, equal parts workhorse and unicorn.

You believe AI should amplify creativity, not replace it.

You know kindness and intensity are not opposites.

You like working with people who care deeply : about their craft, their teammates, and the users on the other side of the screen.

Who we are

Gamma is full of imaginative, passionate people who take their work seriously but not themselves. The culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity. It’s the kind of place where you’ll debate a pixel on Monday, laugh over someone’s keyboard setup on Tuesday, and ship something remarkable by Friday.

We care about craft, move with intention, and don’t mind getting a little scrappy. It’s fast, creative, and occasionally chaotic — but that’s what makes it interesting.

Here’s a bit about what it’s like to work here, from people on the inside :

"quirky, inspiring, fun, a little wild in the best way"

"You can have an idea and just run with it."

"Everyone’s talented and humble — the mix keeps you sharp."

"We ship cool stuff, learn a ton, and laugh a lot doing it."

Meet the team

We’re a team of dreamers and doers building in beautiful San Francisco 🌉

We’re kabbadi enthusiasts, pickleballers, dog herders, woodworkers, keyboard nerds, potters, and more — and we can’t wait to meet you!
