Senior Accounting Manager

Senior Accounting Manager

Troveo builds the data platform AI labs and model builders use to train the next generation of models. We have created the world's largest licensed platform of scarce, proprietary data spanning video, audio, text, and business workflows. We index, enrich, and package data for training, fine-tuning, evaluation, and agentic applications. Backed by top investors, we are a small team addressing a critical data bottleneck in AI development.

This is a full-time, hands-on individual contributor accounting role reporting directly to the CFO. Accounting operations are currently shared between the CFO and a fractional contractor. You will become the primary internal owner of the monthly close, licensor and partner payouts, receivables, and day-to-day finance operations.

You will build processes while running them, work directly with management on the financial implications of decisions, and serve as the day-to-day finance contact for our Supply Side team and licensors. Deal volume is growing, so the role will evolve with the business. This is a fully remote role that requires meaningful overlap with core Pacific Time business hours.
