- Perform account reconciliations, journal entries, accruals, and balance sheet reviews in close partnership with business stakeholders
- Prepare payments and payment reconciliations, and stay organized around contract management and deliverables
- Support financial reporting, external audits, and internal controls
- Maintain general ledger integrity and drive process improvements and system enhancements across ERP and automation tooling
- Collaborate on strategic projects spanning new monetization models, international expansion, product launches, and M&A support
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Active CPA license (required)
- 2–6 years of progressive accounting experience at technology or high-growth internet companies; high transaction volume experience is a strong plus
- Experience spanning both early-stage startups and public companies
- Strong breadth of GAAP expertise and the ability to communicate accounting concepts clearly to non-finance stakeholders
- 2+ years of Big 4 experience strongly preferred
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
- Comfort with and curiosity about modern finance systems — crypto, Ramp, Brex, ERP, and automation tooling
- Excel fluency; SQL skills are a plus (we're happy to teach)
The ideal candidate is meticulous, thrives in fast-moving and ambiguous environments, communicates with clarity, and brings a proactive, process-oriented mindset to everything they do.
BENEFITS
- Competitive salary & equity
- Unlimited PTO
- Full Health, Vision, & Dental coverage
- 401k match
