The posting

Who we are

Picogrid is a leading venture-backed defense technology company founded to bridge the decades-long gap between modern technology and the critical demands of national security. Today, we're building the essential infrastructure to unify sensors, autonomy, and operators with our technology deployed in active operations around the world. Our mission is to deliver an operational advantage to secure the United States and its allies.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Picogrid is seeking a Senior Accountant to help build and scale our accounting function as the company grows. As an early member of the Finance team, you'll take ownership of key areas of the monthly close, financial reporting, and audit preparation while helping establish the processes and controls needed to support a rapidly scaling business.

We're looking for a self-driven accountant who enjoys solving problems, improving processes, and taking ownership. You'll work across general ledger accounting, revenue, AP and T&E, and financial systems, with opportunities to automate workflows and take on increasingly complex accounting responsibilities as the team grows.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Own the monthly close and financial reporting

- Own key areas of the monthly close and help drive toward a consistent 5-business-day close.

- Prepare journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and supporting schedules.

- Review operating expenses for appropriate classification and departmental allocation.

- Support revenue recognition, accounts receivable, and deferred revenue accounting.

- Perform flux and variance analysis to identify unusual activity and improve financial statement accuracy.

- Perform bank reconciliations and cash matching.

- Help improve and automate our procure-to-pay and expense processes as we scale.

Build an audit-ready accounting function

- Prepare clear, well-supported financial statement schedules and audit-ready workpapers.

- Support Picogrid's annual financial statement audit and coordinate audit requests.

- Help implement and operationalize accounting policies as the business grows.

- Build processes and documentation that strengthen the accuracy and scalability of the accounting function.

Build better systems and processes

- Identify opportunities to automate repetitive accounting processes and accelerate the close.

- Improve integrations and workflows across the finance stack.

- Leverage AI and automation tools to reduce manual work while maintaining strong financial controls.

- Partner cross-functionally with Finance, Operations, Supply Chain, Engineering, and other teams on accounting and systems initiatives.

- Take on increasingly complex accounting responsibilities as Picogrid and the Finance organization grow.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

- 2+ years of progressive accounting or audit experience.

- Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP and accounting fundamentals.

- Ability to independently investigate discrepancies and drive issues through resolution.

- Strong attention to detail while understanding the broader business context behind the numbers.

- Comfort operating in an environment where processes are still being built and improved.

- Strong systems aptitude and the ability to learn new finance tools quickly.

- A process-improvement mindset—you naturally look for ways to make recurring work more accurate, automated, and scalable.

- Clear written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work effectively across functions.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.

- CPA or progress toward CPA certification.

- Big 4 or other public accounting experience.

- Experience at a high-growth startup or similarly fast-moving environment.

- Interest in AI-enabled finance and accounting workflows.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

- Base salary range: $105,000 - $135,000 per year plus performance incentive. Base salary is just one part of your total compensation package.

- Significant stock options with a high potential upside as an early-stage company

- 401(k) with employer matching

- Medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family

- Relocation assistance provided (if applicable)

- Unlimited PTO (two-week minimum) and 11 paid holidays per year

- Paid parental leave for both parents

- Lunch provided when working in-office and a fully stocked kitchenette

- Free EV charging at the HQ

- Unique office in El Segundo, CA stocked with quality coffee, snacks, and craft beer

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.
