ABOUT THE ROLE

We're hiring a Staff Accountant, Financial Operations person to own the day-to-day accounting at a fast-growing marketplace.

Support accounts receivable. Prepare client invoices for placements, apply cash, track aging, and run collections follow-up on overdue accounts.

Own your part of the close. Prepare journal entries, accruals, and supporting schedules; reconcile Stripe activity (payouts, fees, refunds) to the GL; complete assigned balance sheet reconciliations on the close calendar.

Support audit and tax. Pull and organize support for our auditors' request list and for tax and payroll-related requests.

Document and improve. Document the process and automate the manual steps. We use AI heavily and expect finance to as well.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- 1–3 years of accounting experience, ideally at a startup or in public accounting. Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance.

- Has done AP and AR: processed payments, applied cash, followed up on overdue invoices.

- Knows debits and credits, accruals and reconciliations. Can explain why a balance is off.

- Strong Excel/Google Sheets. Comfortable with large transaction exports and pivot tables.

- Organized. Hits close deadlines.

- Bonus: a marketplace or usage-based business; CPA eligible or in progress.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE BRINGS

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.
