SEC & Financial Reporting Manager, San Francisco, California, United States

THE CHALLENGE

Eventbrite is a rapidly growing company and there are exciting things going on behind the finance curtain.  Now more than ever, financial reporting and technical accounting are at the forefront and we are looking to expand our team as the business grows and becomes more complex and dynamic.  This person will be a crucial player in the accounting organization and help us achieve the objectives related to SEC compliance and financial reporting as we aim to become a public company. Our goal is to provide oversight, guidance and comfort when it comes to financial reporting.

THE TEAM
