Sr Staff Accountant

Walla is a remote-first, pre-Series B SaaS platform serving 800+ boutique fitness studios — yoga, Pilates, and barre — with software that helps them run their business end to end. We're a small, fast-moving team where finance and operations work closely together, and where one person's attention to detail has a direct, visible impact on the business.

We're hiring a Sr Staff Accountant to own billing, accounts receivable, and collections for our client base, while also supporting core month-end close, reconciliation, and reporting work. This is a hands-on role for someone who understands accounting fundamentals — the mechanics of the P&L and balance sheet, how transactions flow through close — but who is just as comfortable on a call with a client resolving an invoice question as they are reconciling a Quick Books account.

You'll work cross-departmentally with Sales, Customer Success, and Operations, and report directly to the VP of Operations.

If you've been waiting for a seat where your work is visible, your judgment is trusted, and there's nowhere for good work to get lost, we'd like to hear from you.

• Get real satisfaction from a clean reconciliation and a closed month
• Can deliver an awkward billing or collections conversation with a client and have them still like you afterward
• Like owning a full process end to end rather than handing off pieces of it
• Are comfortable being the only accounting person in the room on most days
• Ask "why" when a number looks off instead of just moving on
• Don't need a big team or a lot of structure around you to stay organized and get things done

• Own the end-to-end client billing cycle — invoice generation, billing accuracy, and timely delivery — working cross-departmentally with Sales and Customer Success to resolve billing setup issues before they reach clients.
• Manage AR collections: monitor aging, follow up on past-due accounts, and elevate appropriately while protecting the client relationship.
• Serve as a friendly, professional point of contact for client billing and collections questions — resolving disputes and payment issues with clear, courteous communication.

• Map and code expenses and transactions to the proper accounts in Quick Books Online (QBO).
• Perform month-end close tasks: journal entries, account reconciliations (bank, AR, prepaid, accrual accounts), and supporting schedules.
• Support the accuracy of the P&L and balance sheet by applying sound accrual-accounting judgment and flagging discrepancies.
• Calculate monthly sales commissions in line with plan terms, coordinating with Sales leadership on inputs and exceptions.
• Maintain and update recurring finance spreadsheets, including MRR/revenue waterfall reporting and other management reporting tools.
• Assist with ad hoc financial analysis, audit support, and process improvement projects as Walla scales toward Series B.

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience; comfortable operating at a Sr Staff Accountant level or above.
• Solid grasp of core finance principles — double-entry accounting, accrual vs. cash, and how transactions flow through the P&L and balance sheet.
• Hands‑on month-end close experience: journal entries, reconciliations, and close checklists.
• Proficiency in Quick Books Online; comfortable learning and troubleshooting within a company's chart of accounts.
• Advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills (pivot tables, lookups, waterfall/reconciliation models).
• A genuinely client‑friendly communication style — able to have direct billing and collections conversations with clients while staying warm and professional.
• Strong organization and follow‑through; comfortable owning a process…
