As Oura scales and prepares for life as a public company, equity compensation and non-routine technical accounting questions are becoming larger and more complex. We’re looking for a Manager, Technical Accounting and Equity Reporting to own stock-based compensation accounting and equity reporting end to end, and to serve as a technical accounting resource on complex and non-recurring transactions.You’ll own ASC 718 accounting and the equity roll-forwards, reconciliations, footnotes, and disclosures that flow from it; work through the accounting for share repurchases; document accounting positions in clear memos; and build SOX-ready processes and controls. You’ll partner closely with Legal, Stock Administration, Payroll, Tax, Corporate Finance, FP&A, Business Systems, and our external auditors.
What You Will Do:
Stock-based compensation accounting (ASC 718)
- Own the monthly stock-based compensation close: validate grant, vesting, forfeiture, and termination data, calculate and record expense by function, and prepare the related journal entries.
- Review valuation inputs and assumptions (e.g., Black-Scholes, 409A) with valuation specialists and support the related audit evidence.
- Account for modifications, cancellations, repurchases, and settlement mechanics, including net share settlement.
- Reconcile the cap table and equity administration platform to the general ledger, and resolve differences promptly.
Equity reporting and disclosures
- Prepare and review equity roll-forwards, APIC and stockholders’ equity activity, and stock-based compensation disclosures for quarterly and annual financial statements.
- Maintain audit-ready support and tie-outs for every equity figure in the financial statements and disclosures.
Liquidity events and capital structure
- Lead the accounting analysis for tender offers, secondary transactions, IPO-related events, and corporate reorganizations as they affect employee equity.
- Lead the modeling process around the expected financial statement impact of an IPO on equity awards, including expense recognition, net settlement, and tax withholding, and keep the model current as timing and terms evolve.
Technical accounting and policy
- Research complex accounting questions under US GAAP and write clear, well-supported technical memos that document facts, guidance, analysis, and conclusions.
- Serve as a technical resource on non-routine transactions beyond equity, as needed - areas could include: debt vs. equity accounting (ASC 480), debt (ASC 470), leases (ASC 842), business combinations (ASC 805), and global entity matters.
- Assist with drafting, updating, and maintaining accounting policies, and monitor new standards and SEC guidance for their impact on Oura.
Controls and audit
- Design, document, and operate key controls over equity and technical accounting in partnership with the SOX team, and remediate gaps promptly.
- Serve as a primary contact for external auditors on equity and technical accounting, including walkthroughs, PBC requests, and technical discussions.
What you'll bring
- 6+ years of progressive accounting and financial reporting experience, including Big 4 or national firm experience.
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance; active CPA strongly preferred.
- Hands-on expertise in ASC 718, including options, RSUs, performance-condition awards, modifications, repurchases and tender offers.
- Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and SEC reporting, with experience in ASC 718.
- Experience producing equity roll-forwards, footnotes, and disclosures for audited financial statements, and reconciling an equity administration platform (e.g., Carta, Shareworks) to the general ledger.
- Demonstrated ability to research complex technical matters independently and write defensible accounting memos.
- Experience designing and operating SOX or other internal controls over financial reporting.
- Clear written and verbal communication, including explaining complex topics to non-accounting partners, and a record of mentoring or managing others.
Nice to have:
- Public company or IPO-readiness experience.
- Workiva and Shareworks experience.
- Experience in consumer hardware, health technology, or subscription businesses.

Tips for Your Remote Technical Accountant Job Search
Show async documentation skills upfront
Remote technical accountant roles require writing clear, well-reasoned accounting memos without real-time back-and-forth. Include a sample technical memo or position paper in your application materials to demonstrate that you can research a standard and communicate your conclusion in writing.
Signal proficiency in cloud accounting systems
Remote employers expect you to operate independently in platforms like NetSuite, Workiva, or FloQast from day one. Name the specific systems you've used in your resume and be ready to describe how you used them to close, consolidate, or manage technical review workflows.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote technical accountant openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your experience level and industry focus and apply directly without sorting through unrelated postings.
Prepare for remote-specific interview questions
Remote hiring managers for technical accountant roles consistently ask how you handle ambiguous accounting questions without immediate access to a supervisor. Prepare specific examples of standards research you conducted independently, including the question, your process, and the documented conclusion you reached.
Remote Technical Accountant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote technical accountant job?
Remote technical accountants get hired by targeting companies that already run distributed finance teams, such as cloud-native software firms, fintech companies, and large insurers with decentralized operations. Remote employers screen hard for self-direction, clear written communication, and proficiency in cloud-based accounting systems like NetSuite or Workiva. Demonstrating that you can research complex accounting standards independently and document your conclusions without hand-holding gives you a real edge.
Which companies hire remote technical accountants?
Companies hiring remote technical accountants right now include CohnReznick, DigitalOcean, and Oscar Health, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote hiring for this role is concentrated at remote-first technology companies, publicly traded firms managing distributed reporting teams, and financial services organizations that have shifted corporate accounting functions off-site.
Can you get a remote technical accountant job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level technical accountant roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work through complex standards questions without in-person mentorship. Your strongest path is targeting smaller remote-first companies or startups that need accounting support and will invest in developing you. Showing completed coursework in U.S. GAAP, a CPA exam progress record, or a portfolio of technical memos from internships or academic projects opens doors when direct experience is thin.
Do you need a degree for remote technical accountant jobs?
Usually, but the degree matters less than demonstrated command of accounting standards and the ability to research and apply them independently. Remote employers focus on whether you can produce defensible technical memos, navigate ASC codification, and communicate conclusions clearly in writing. A CPA license or active CPA candidacy carries significant weight and can offset gaps in formal education history.
Which industries hire the most remote technical accountants?
Most remote technical accountant openings sit in Technology & Software, Science & Research, and Accounting & Auditing, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors rely on distributed finance and reporting teams that handle complex accounting policy questions without needing everyone in the same building.
