About The Role The Senior Staff Accountant role at Emergence is a vital position responsible for managing and executing complex financial accounting processes within our SaaS portfolio. This role involves overseeing the month-end close cycle, ensuring compliance with U.S. GAAP standards, and providing insightful analysis to support strategic decision-making.

The ideal candidate will possess advanced technical accounting skills, particularly in revenue recognition and deferred revenue management, with a proven ability to lead and mentor junior team members. This position offers an excellent opportunity to build and refine core accounting infrastructure within a dynamic, high-growth environment backed by private equity. As a remote role based in India, it allows for flexible working arrangements while contributing to the financial integrity and operational excellence of our organization.

Qualifications The ideal candidate will have a strong educational background in accounting or finance,



with professional qualifications such as CA or CMA being highly desirable. Candidates should possess a minimum of 2-3 years of progressive accounting experience, preferably within private equity-backed or SaaS environments. Expertise in U.S.

GAAP, especially ASC 606 and revenue recognition standards, is essential.
