Summary

We are seeking a Senior Accountant to own key parts of our month-end close and help scale our accounting operations. Alongside core close work, you'll get hands-on exposure to technical accounting and financial reporting, and help optimize Rillet, our AI-native ERP. You'll report to the Senior Accounting Manager and partner closely with the broader Finance team and teams across the company.

The ideal candidate brings a strong public accounting foundation and is excited to help scale the finance function at a fast-growing company building the reliable infrastructure behind today's leading AI applications.

What You'll Do

• Own key areas of the month-end close, such as stock-based compensation, leases, and investments, including journal entries and supporting schedules.

• Lead revenue accounting work, including customer contract reviews, oversight of automated revenue schedules and journal entries, and deferred revenue reconciliations.

• Prepare balance sheet reconciliations and flux analysis.

• Support preparation of our year-end financial statements and footnote disclosures.

• Prepare audit schedules and support the annual audit.

• Help optimize Rillet and design automated, AI-assisted close workflows.

• Document processes and strengthen internal controls.

• Partner with FP&A, Billing, People, AP, and other teams on accounting questions and analysis.

What You'll Bring

• 3+ years of accounting experience

• Public accounting audit experience (Big 4 preferred) or equivalent experience at a high-growth tech company

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related field

• CPA strongly preferred

• Strong knowledge of US GAAP

• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills

• Curiosity and hands-on experience using AI tools to work more efficiently, such as drafting reconciliations, analyzing variances, or automating repetitive tasks

• Clear communicator who takes ownership, improves processes, and is comfortable in a fast-changing environment

Nice to Have

• Exposure to SOX and internal controls in a public or public-company-ready environment

• Experience with Rillet, NetSuite, or another modern ERP

• SaaS or usage-based revenue experience

• Experience designing or implementing AI-assisted or automated accounting workflows
