We are looking for a Senior Accountant who combines strong accounting fundamentals with a builder mindset.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can own core accounting work while also helping us build a more automated, scalable Finance function. You’ll play a key role in month-end close, multi-entity accounting, reconciliations, and financial reporting - but we’re equally interested in how you improve the way that work gets done.

The ideal candidate is curious about technology and has experience implementing or improving accounting systems, automating manual workflows, and using AI and LLMs to make accounting processes faster, smarter, and more reliable.

• Own key areas of the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, including journal entries, accruals, account reconciliations, and variance analysis.

• Take end-to-end ownership of assigned accounting areas, from understanding the underlying accounting and source data through close execution, reconciliation, and ongoing process improvement.

• Support accounting across multiple U.S. and international entities, including intercompany transactions, eliminations, consolidations, and foreign currency.

• Ensure accurate and consistent accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP and company policies.

• Support financial reporting, audit requests, and technical accounting matters as needed.

• Partner across Finance, Payroll, People, Legal, and other teams to resolve accounting issues and improve upstream processes.

• Identify manual, repetitive, and error-prone accounting processes, understand the underlying business and accounting requirements, and design more scalable solutions using automation, AI, and better systems.

• Build automated account reconciliations that pull together data from multiple systems, identify exceptions, and reduce manual review.

• Automate recurring journal entries, accrual calculations, prepaid schedules, and other components of the month-end close.

• Build AI-assisted workflows to review transactions, investigate reconciliation differences, analyze variances, and summarize unusual activity for Accounting review.

• Develop automated flux and variance analysis that identifies material movements and helps Accounting quickly understand what changed and why.

• Play an active role in ERP implementations, system migrations, integrations, and other Finance transformation initiatives.

• Create close dashboards and workflows that provide real-time visibility into close status, outstanding reconciliations, exceptions, and blockers.

• Use LLMs to turn accounting policies, historical research, and company documentation into tools and data rooms that help the team research accounting questions and consistently apply company policies.

• Develop self-service reporting and tools that reduce recurring manual requests to Accounting and give stakeholders better access to financial information.
