Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other.

Your Impact

We’re hiring a forward-thinking, technically strong accounting leader to join Accounting Strategy & Financial Reporting and own the end-to-end accounting and operational analysis for Treasury, debt and equity transactions, and high-complexity vendor arrangements. You will lead rigorous technical research and translate conclusions into practical, audit-ready policies, journal entries, controls and process improvements.

Working closely with Treasury, Corporate Development/Strategy, Legal, Tax and SEC Reporting, you’ll advise on deal structure and settlement mechanics, support SEC filings and earnings releases (including non-GAAP metrics), and ensure accounting outcomes are communicated clearly to auditors and senior leaders. You’ll also design and deliver targeted training, produce concise technical memoranda, and present recommendations to senior management and cross-functional partners — shaping how the business executes strategic transactions while keeping our reporting and controls best-in-class.

What You’ll Do

Reports to: Vice President of Financial Reporting and Strategic Investments

Work Location : This role is eligible to be based out of Axon's US hubs located in Atlanta, Boston, New York, Virginia, Denver, Phoenix, San Francisco or Seattle and follows a hybrid schedule. We rely on in-person collaboration and ask that team members work onsite Tuesdays through Fridays, with the flexibility to work remotely on Mondays, unless there is an approved workplace accommodation. We believe that connection fuels innovation, and our in-office culture is designed to foster meaningful teamwork, mentorship, and shared success.
