Position Summary:

We're looking for a Senior Accountant who brings equal parts accounting rigor and fluency with AI. This is not a head-down, spreadsheet-only role. You'll be responsible for significant portions of our close and reporting cycle while improving the processes behind them, reaching for Claude, LLMs, and automation tools first rather than as an afterthought. You'll think in process flows, not just transactions, and bring a solutions-oriented, builder's mindset to every problem.

This is an opportunity to put AI to work in accounting and the month-end close, in a fast-paced environment where better processes show up in the results quickly. If you love accounting, stay curious, and want to help shape how the work gets done, we'd like to meet you

What you’ll do:

Accounting & Close

• Deliver assigned areas of the monthly, quarterly, and annual close accurately and on time

• Prepare and post journal entries and other recurring entries

• Support revenue recognition and deferred revenue reconciliations (ASC 606) in partnership with Revenue Accounting

• Prepare and maintain accounting schedules for internal-use software capitalization (ASC 350-40), capitalized commissions (ASC 340-40), leases (ASC 842), and debt

• Prepare account reconciliations in FloQast, maintaining current status and clean documentation throughout the close cycle

• Maintain rigorous workpaper standards; identify ways to leverage AI to improve documentation

• Execute and document internal controls for assigned areas, and recommend improvements where gaps exist

• Support external audit activities and prepare audit schedules for review

Reporting & Analysis

• Prepare monthly flux and variance analysis with clear, concise commentary for finance leadership

• Prepare supporting schedules for monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements

• Support quarterly and annual reporting packages for leadership, lenders, and private equity stakeholders

Process Development & Automation

• Seek opportunities to continuously improve accounting process flows

• Use AI for financial analysis, process documentation, and any other task where AI makes it more efficient or more accurate

• Identify opportunities to replace manual processes with scalable, technology-driven solutions

Systems & Tools

• Develop into the team's go-to NetSuite resource, including report building, saved searches, chart of accounts maintenance, and system enhancements

• Utilize FloQast for close management, reconciliation tracking, and task ownership

• Contribute to implementation, improvement, and documentation of other systems as needed

Partner Across the Business

• Collaborate with the Payroll Accounting team on payroll journal entries and related reconciliations

• Collaborate with FP&A and Financial Operations on reclasses and necessary journal entries

What you should have:

Preferred

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
  • 3+ years of progressive accounting experience
  • Strong working knowledge of GAAP
  • Demonstrated proficiency with NetSuite including report building, saved searches, and chart of accounts/general ledger management
  • Advanced Excel skills, including lookups, pivot tables, and building reconciliation and analysis schedules
  • Demonstrated, hands-on use of AI tools (such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot) in real accounting work, beyond casual prompting
  • High attention to detail with strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Manage multiple priorities during close and communicate clearly with finance and business partners

Preferred

  • CPA license or active candidacy; public accounting a plus
  • SaaS or software company experience strongly preferred
  • Familiarity with SaaS revenue recognition (ASC 606) and deferred revenue
  • Hands-on experience with FloQast for close management and reconciliation workflows
  • Experience with Claude Cowork and Claude Code
  • Proven ability to develop, document, and continuously improve accounting process flows
  • Multi-entity or multi-currency accounting experience

What Sets You Apart

You're naturally curious: you question how things work, wonder if there's a faster path, and then go find out. You were using AI tools before it was on the job description, and you think in prompts and process flows as readily as you think in journal entries. You don't wait to be handed a better process, you are a self-starter that enjoys building one. You challenge assumptions and actively seek better ways to do things.

You ask good questions of the data, of your systems, and of your colleagues. You bring the same inquisitiveness to your relationships that you bring to your work. You listen to understand, communicate with clarity when the stakes are high, and have a knack for raising the bar on what good looks like while bringing others along with you.

You bring a positive, approachable, and easy to work with mindset. You hold yourself to a high standard and jump in to help teammates when deadlines get tight. Bonus points if you love boats, bikes, RVs, or anything outdoors. Our customers do, and so do we.

Pay transparency is a key component of this commitment, ensuring that potential candidates have a clear understanding of the compensation they can expect.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
