Member of Accounting TeamWhat you'll own- Own key areas of the monthly, quarterly, and annual close: journal entries, accruals, cutoff, account reconciliations, variance analysis, supporting schedules, and resolution of open items.
- Prepare and support internal and external financial reporting, including financial statements, flux commentary, audit schedules, disclosures, and management reporting.
- Own and improve the procure-to-pay lifecycle-from vendor onboarding, purchasing controls, approvals, purchase orders, invoice intake and coding, through payment support, expense management, and accruals.
- Serve as an accounting owner for ERP and finance systems, including process design, data integrity, testing, reconciliations, workflow improvements, and implementation or optimization projects.
- Own or support equity accounting, including equity roll-forwards, stock-based compensation under ASC 718, and coordination with Legal, People, and equity-administration providers such as Carta.
- Research, document, and apply U.S. GAAP to routine and non-routine transactions. Prepare concise technical accounting analyses and communicate conclusions to leadership and auditors.
- Build durable, well-documented processes and controls that improve close quality, audit readiness, and scalability.
- Manage payroll accounting end to end, including payroll journal entries, accruals for wages, bonuses, and commissions, benefits and payroll-tax reconciliations, and coordination with People and payroll providers.
- Partner closely with FP&A, Legal, People, Tax, and business stakeholders to ensure accounting implications are understood early and recorded accurately.
- Support external audit requests, maintain clear workpapers, and help strengthen internal-control and public-company-readiness practices as the company scales.
- Identify opportunities to automate repetitive work while maintaining appropriate review, documentation, and accounting judgment.
What we're looking for- 4-7 years of progressive accounting experience, ideally including both public accounting and high-growth technology or fintech experience.
- Strong command of U.S. GAAP and hands-on experience with close, financial reporting, balance-sheet reconciliations, accruals, and audit support.
- Experience with AI tools and a habit of proactively using them to work smarter and faster, whether drafting reconciliations, analyzing data, or automating repetitive close tasks.
- Demonstrated experience with ERP systems and modern finance tools; NetSuite, Ramp, Carta, FloQast, or similar platforms are a plus.
- Direct procure-to-pay experience, including purchasing controls, AP workflows, vendor management, expenses/corporate cards, and close-related accruals.
- Experience with stock-based compensation and equity accounting; ASC 718 and Carta experience strongly preferred.
- Hands-on payroll accounting experience, including payroll entries, accruals, and reconciliations; familiarity with providers such as Rippling is a plus.
- Ability to research and document technical accounting conclusions across areas such as ASC 606, ASC 718, ASC 842, debt/equity, internal-use software, and other evolving business needs.
- Strong Excel and analytical skills; comfort working with imperfect data and improving the underlying process.
- A process-builder mindset: able to spot breakdowns, establish practical controls, and take solutions through implementation.
- Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain accounting issues to non-accountants.
Nice-to-have experience- Multi-entity, international, intercompany, foreign-currency, payroll, or consolidation accounting.
