Senior Accountant (Europe - Remote

What You Will Be Working On

TLDR;
We build software for short-term rentals to rent themselves, with a state-of-the-art product and user experience. We have crafted an Applicant Handbook, which we highly recommend you check out, where you can find out more about the company, culture, how we recruit, what we do, and how we do it:  Hospitable is a remote-only, global, and trust-based company. We believe exceptional work comes from exceptional people - no matter their background, geography, or path.

Our team spans continents, cultures, and experiences, and that diversity is one of our biggest advantages. We move fast, think boldly, and build with intention. Our product is loved. Our customers are vocal. Our roadmap moves fast. Feel free to join one of our upcoming public, bi-weekly Town Halls on You Tube to get a glimpse of it for yourself:

We are looking for a Senior Accountant who will take meaningful ownership of month-end close work streams and help us move toward a 5‑day month-end close through better reconciliations, tighter controls, and relentless process improvement.

• Own month-end close deliverables for assigned areas/entities: journal entries, reconciliations, schedules, and variance explanations
• Maintain audit-ready working papers and clear support for every number (no "mystery balances")

• Own bank and cash reconciliations across 20+ bank/payment accounts (multi-entity, multi-currency)
• Drive open items to resolution quickly; prevent recurring recon breaks through root-cause fixes
• Work with Brandon whose favorite fruit is Dragon fruit

• Monitor and resolve subscription revenue flow issues that delay close (e.g., billing → ERP sync errors, credit notes, customer tax/VAT data changes)
• Support Net Suite revenue recognition execution and troubleshooting, including workflow/approval issues that block posting

• Help keep Payhawk "clean" going into close: invoices/receipts captured, correct entity + coding, approvals complete, payment evidence retained, and sync exceptions resolved
• Enforce and improve our Payhawk submission process (right entity inboxes, AP mailbox for bank transfers, clear expectations across the company)

• Own balance sheet integrity for assigned accounts (prepaids, accruals, intercompany, etc.), including aging and follow-ups
• Drive issues to root cause and fix them permanently (process, system, or upstream behavior)

• Document SOPs/checklists, tighten controls, and reduce manual work
• Partner with Finance leadership to shorten close time and increase confidence in the numbers

• Tackle ad hoc accounting/finance requests that come up during the month (analysis, audit asks, process cleanups, cross-functional questions)
• Support the Accountant in Residence with tax return preparation support (as needed)

Hospitable is a remote-only and distributed company. For this position, your location is not a requirement. The ideal fit would work under US Eastern or EMEA timezones.

• 5+ years in accounting with real month-end close ownership
• Strong reconciliation and documentation discipline (you can explain every balance)
• Experience working in an ERP (Net Suite strongly preferred)
• Comfort operating in a fast-moving, remote environment: proactive communication, high ownership, low hand-holding

Extra special kudos if you have:

• SaaS subscription billing/revenue exposure (Chargebee experience is a plus)
• AP/spend tooling experience (Payhawk or similar)
• Multi-entity / multi-currency experience

How we'll measure success:

• Close tasks are completed on time with strong support and minimal rework
• Fewer blockers month over month in billing → ERP → revenue recognition flows
• AP and spend processes don't create surprises at month-end (coding complete, approvals done, exceptions resolved)
• You leave the system better than you found it: cleaner reconciliations, clearer SOPs, faster close

• A supportive, radically transparent, and…
