Junior Accountant

You will be responsible for day‑to‑day accounting operations, reconciliations and financial reporting across our portfolio. You’ll work closely with cross‑functional stakeholders to keep the books clean, accurate and audit‑ready. We’re looking for someone who brings solid accounting fundamentals and sees AI as a core part of their work. This includes defaulting to AI‑assisted workflows, automating reconciliations, catching anomalies, or pressure‑testing their own output.

• Perform daily and monthly account reconciliations across multiple entities
• Maintain and update general ledger entries with accuracy and timeliness
• Support month‑end and year‑end close processes
• Prepare and send invoices; monitor accounts for timely payments
• Prepare financial reports and assist with management reporting
• Enter and verify financial transactions, ensuring accuracy and completeness
• Process accounts payable and receivable transactions
• Assist with audit preparation and documentation
• Ensure adherence to relevant accounting regulations, company policies and industry standards
• Use AI tools and LLMs (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT) to streamline routine accounting tasks, identify anomalies and improve reporting efficiency
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders across the RGG portfolio on finance‑related queries
• Support ad‑hoc projects and tasks as assigned

• Accounting Manager – direct reporting line, day‑to‑day guidance and review
• Senior Accountant – close processes, audit prep and escalation point
• Accountant L2 – work side‑by‑side on reconciliations and reporting
• Fellow Junior Accountant – shared workload across entities, peer accountability
• Cross‑functional Stakeholders – finance queries across the full RGG portfolio

This isn’t a static role. Junior Accountants at Puffy can grow into Accountant L2 owning entities end‑to‑end, Senior Accountant leading close processes and audit prep, or AI‑native Accounting Specialist – a profile the industry is barely starting to hire for. What takes 4‑5 years elsewhere happens in 1‑2 here.

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills
• Willingness to learn and adapt to evolving tools and processes
