Location: San Francisco

Type: Full-time

Reports to: Head of Finance

The role

You will be Daytona's founding accounting hire. Finance is one person today and the books run through an outsourced accounting firm. You will own and level up the accounting function: the books, processes, systems, policies, and audit. What accounting looks like at Daytona is your call to make and your job to build.

The timing matters. As our books evolve — hardware, financing, multiple entities, multiple pricing models — you will design the accounting before it's needed rather than untangle it after.

This is a builder's role, and early on that means rolling up your sleeves and taking on both planning and execution responsibilities.

AI infrastructure is the fastest-growing industry in the world right now, and few seats offer a better view of it: you will see every customer, every contract, and every dollar.

What you'll do

• Own the relationship with our outsourced accounting firm: set the standard, review their work, and decide what moves in-house and when
• Get us audit-ready and lead our first audit from the company side: accounting policies, documentation, controls, auditor selection, and the relationship
• Own the monthly close and the reporting package that goes to leadership and the board
• Own the future ERP: evaluate options, pick one, and lead the implementation
• Take over revenue accounting for usage-based billing: credits, prepayments, deferred revenue
• Evolve the fixed asset and financing side of the books as we explore purchasing compute: capitalization, depreciation, leases, debt
• Own tax and compliance across our US and international entities with outside advisors: sales tax, state registrations, transfer pricing
• Oversee AP and AR
• Hire and build the accounting team when the time comes
