Associate Accountant: Fast Close & GAAP at Scale

FORT Robotics is hiring an Associate Accountant to join our Finance team and play a hands‑on role in the day-to-day accounting operations that keep the company running smoothly. You'll work closely with the Senior Finance & Accounting Analyst and gain end-to-end exposure to the accounting cycle from AP/AR through month‑end close at a stage where the systems and processes you help build will scale with the company.

This is a high‑visibility role on a small team. You will see your work reflected in board‑level reporting within your first quarter.

• Month‑end, quarter‑end, and year‑end close:
  Support the full close cycle, ensuring deadlines are met with accuracy and the right level of documentation for an audit‑ready environment.
• Perform monthly bank reconciliations and manage inventory reconciliations to ensure book‑to‑physical accuracy.
• Oversee the full‑cycle AP/AR process — invoice processing, vendor management, collections, and payment application.
• Verify purchase orders against receipts and resolve discrepancies in partnership with Operations and Supply Chain.
• Prepare and post journal entries and maintain the integrity of the general ledger.
• Flag friction in current workflows and partner with Finance leadership to refine processes

• 1–3 years of professional accounting experience, ideally including exposure to a full close cycle.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting (preferred) or Finance.
• Proficiency in Quick Books preferred/Net Suite a plus
• Strong working knowledge of GAAP, advanced Excel (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, basic modeling), and meticulous attention to detail.
• You're early in your career but ready to move quickly. You want to ramp in 30–60 days, not six months. You ask questions, document what you learn, and own outcomes without being chased.
