About the Role
We're looking for an Operational Accountant with 5+ years of experience to own day‑to‑day accounting operations in a fast‑paced, evolving environment. This is a hands‑on role for a builder—someone who can run the close, keep the books clean, and improve the systems and processes around them as we scale.
Responsibilities- Own the full month-end close process, including journal entries, accruals, and account reconciliations
- Manage daily bookkeeping and maintain accurate, audit‑ready financial records
- Perform weekly bank and credit card reconciliations
- Process accounts payable and accounts receivable, ensuring timely and accurate payments and collections
- Run payroll, including commission calculations and contractor payroll
- Administer 401(k) processing and ensure compliance
- Prepare and file 1099s
- Produce recurring and ad hoc financial reports for leadership
- Identify gaps in existing processes and build scalable workflows and controls
- 5+ years of hands‑on accounting experience, ideally in a high‑growth or fast‑paced setting
- Strong command of month‑end close, reconciliations, AP/AR, and payroll
- Experience with 401(k) administration, 1099 filing, and commission/contractor payments
- Proficiency across:
Deel, Quick Books Online (QBO), Campfire, Ramp, Hub Spot, and Claude AI - Comfortable working independently with shifting priorities and minimal hand‑holding
- High attention to detail and accuracy
- Strong critical‑thinking skills and a builder's mindset—you improve what you touch
- Flexible, adaptable, and comfortable wearing multiple hats
- Like building systems, not just maintaining them
- Move fast without sacrificing accuracy
- Ask 'why' and spot problems before they become fires
- Want ownership over operational finance end to end
In‑office role at our Austin, Texas headquarters. Applicants must reside within a 1‑hour drive of Austin or be willing to relocate.
