The Mission 💪

No one should suffer from a treatable skin disease because they couldn't access care. That's what Honeydew is fixing — a platform connecting hundreds of millions of people to licensed dermatologists, FDA-approved treatments, and ongoing skin health support. We've helped 40,000+ patients get life-changing results, we're growing 5x YoY, and we're just getting started.

The Opportunity 📈

Honeydew is moving into its next phase of maturity, and we are bringing our accounting function in-house. We need a founding accounting leader—a "player-coach" who is ready to build a world-class organization from the ground up. You aren't just managing a ledger; you are architecting the systems, automation, and AI-native workflows that will allow us to scale 10x without 10x-ing the headcount.

What You’ll Build (Your First 6 Months) 🛠️

At Honeydew, we focus on outcomes over activities. In your first 180 days, you will be the driving force behind these three key milestones:

Modernize the Stack: Run the RFP and implementation for a new, AI-native ERP, integrating it with our entire modern finance stack (Brex, Stripe, Bill.com, etc.).
Bring Accounting In-House: Successfully transition our full accounting function from our outsourced firm to your internal ownership utilizing our new finance stack.
The 10-Day Close: Re-engineer our processes and data integrations to reduce the monthly close to Business Day 10 and then build a path to Business Day 5 or better.

How You’ll Make an Impact

System & Process Architecture: Build and execute accounting processes through heavy automation, moving us away from manual entries and toward real-time financial visibility.
Technical Ownership: Own the results of the people, processes, and systems, ensuring revenue recognition and GAAP policies are impeccable.
AI Integration: Treat AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) as part of your daily operating environment, finding new ways to automate reconciliations, flux analysis, and all accounting workflows.
Strategic Partnership: Act as a true business partner to the CEO, CFO, and the full leadership team using financial insights to help Honeydew make better and faster decisions.

What We’re Looking For

The Non-Negotiables:

Venture-Backed Experience: 10+ years of accounting experience, with at least 4 years owning the close at a high-growth, venture-backed startup.
Modern Stack Mastery: You have personally implemented or operated an AI-native ERP and are comfortable navigating Brex, Bill.com, Stripe, Justworks, and QBO.
The "Builder" DNA: You have a genuine appetite for hands-on work. This is not a role for someone who wants to delegate the close; it’s for someone who wants to do it, automate it, and then teach the next person how to run it.
Inquisitive Ownership: You keep digging until the numbers make sense. You dot every "i" and cross every "t," but never lose sight of the "so what" behind the data.

The Nice-to-Haves:

CPA & Big 4: A CPA is strongly preferred, and a Big 4 background is a major plus.
Industry Context: Experience in healthcare (telehealth), DTC subscriptions, or operating across multiple legal entities (including PC structures).
Audit Prep: You’ve successfully prepared a startup for its first institutional audit.

Why Honeydew?

Real Ownership: We don't micromanage builders; we give you the tools and the autonomy to build a department from scratch.
AI-First Culture: We don't fear AI; we experiment with it. You'll be encouraged to push the boundaries of what is possible in modern accounting.
