ABOUT COGENT
Cogent is an Applied AI Lab building the next generation of AI agents for cybersecurity. AI has fundamentally changed how attacks happen, allowing malicious actors to operate at unprecedented speed and scale. Cogent's "AI Taskforce" assesses petabytes of enterprise data to remediate these issues before critical breaches occur.
To stay at the cutting edge, we blend frontier research with real-world execution. Alongside our core product work, Cogent Research serves as our applied AI lab, providing the research horsepower needed to make truly agentic security workflows a reality. We partner with Fortune 500 companies to secure some of the most complex production environments in the world.
We're backed by Greylock & Bain Capital Ventures, and we've built a team with the best minds in applied AI. Our team is comprised of people from:
- Top universities like Stanford, Berkeley, Penn, Duke, Carnegie Mellon, Waterloo
- Unicorn, high-growth companies like Scale AI, Databricks, Stripe, Tesla, Coinbase
- World class cybersecurity experts from Wiz, Abnormal AI, Zscaler
- Preeminent research labs like DeepMind and SAIL
We're hiring an Accounting Manager to build the accounting function - this is the first full-time accounting hire at the company. You'll own the general ledger and monthly close, accounts payable and vendor payments, invoicing and collections, and the tax and compliance filings that support them. Near-term priorities include establishing the close calendar, building a chart of accounts for management reporting, automating reconciliations, and selecting the ERP we'll scale on. The role reports to the Head of Finance & Operations; it starts hands-on with third-party contractor support and can grow into managing a small accounting team.
What you would do
- Own the monthly close end to end: calendar, journal entries, reconciliations, and reporting deliverables; deliver monthly financials to leadership
- Own the general ledger, chart of accounts, and department structure; maintain accrual, prepaid, and fixed asset schedules
- Own accounts payable end to end: intake, coding, approval routing, and payment runs in Ramp
