ABOUT US

Our mission at Renterra is to modernize the $100B+ equipment rental industry. Tactically, we are building an end-to-end platform that will massively improve the way rental companies run their businesses.

Renterra is a Series A–backed, venture-funded SaaS company serving hundreds of rental businesses across the U.S. and Canada. Many of the rental companies we work with want more than great software: they want a partner who understands rental accounting and helps keep their books accurate every month.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Location: Remote, Chicagoland area. You'll need to come into our Chicago office occasionally for brainstorming and team sessions.

As a Senior Accountant, you'll be the main accounting point of contact for a portfolio of small and mid-size equipment rental companies, and the person who owns their books. You'll take each client from messy or year-end-only bookkeeping to a clean monthly close, with fleet, financing and sales tax handled the way a rental business actually needs. You'll be an early member of a fast-growing accounting team. You'll review the work of a Staff Accountant, make the technical calls, and set the processes and standards the team follows.

This is a hands-on role.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Client relationships: Be the main accounting point of contact for your clients. Meet monthly with owners who want a session to understand their books, explain the numbers in plain language, and coordinate with their outside CPAs and lenders

- Business development: Meet with prospective customers, learn how their business and books run today

- Client setup: Guide new clients through getting set up, clean up prior-period books, and build their chart of accounts and fixed asset register

- Monthly bookkeeping and close: Manage the month-end close for each client, directing a Staff Accountant who handles categorization and reconciliations.

- Review and oversight: Review all accounting work before it's finalized, whether prepared by the client's own staff or by Renterra staff accountants.

- Fleet and fixed assets: Build and maintain a fixed asset register for each client's rental fleet, book monthly depreciation, and record gain or loss on equipment sales.

- Equipment financing: Maintain loan and floor plan schedules and split every payment correctly between principal and interest.

- Payroll accounting: Record payroll from each client's payroll provider, and reconcile payroll tax liabilities, accruals and benefit withholdings.

- Financial reporting: Deliver a monthly P&L, balance sheet and cash flow statement to each client.

- Sales tax: Be comfortable giving clients guidance on sales tax remittance, such as what they owe, where and when, and help tie sales tax collected to each client's books.

- Year-end and tax-ready books: Finalize a year-end tax package for each client's CPA, including depreciation schedules ready for filing. Oversee vendor W-9 tracking and 1099 preparation.

- Processes and standards: Define and document close checklists, standards and client setup processes.

QUALIFICATIONS

- Active CPA license

- 5+ years of accounting experience, with significant time serving small business clients (public accounting, client accounting services or outsourced bookkeeping)

- Hands-on bookkeeping experience: transaction categorization, account reconciliations and month-end close

- Experience reviewing the work of junior staff and managing multiple client engagements

- Expert-level QuickBooks Online and advanced Excel skills

- Tax preparation and filing experience, including sales and use tax

- Experience with fixed asset accounting and depreciation

- Client-facing experience and strong communication skills: comfortable leading meetings with current and prospective clients and explaining their financials clearly

- Located in the Chicagoland area and able to come into the office occasionally

Nice to have:

- Experience with equipment rental, construction or other asset-heavy businesses

- Multi-state sales tax experience

- Experience with equipment loans, floor plan financing or lender reporting

- QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor certification

WHAT WE OFFER

- Competitive compensation

- Health, dental, and vision insurance

- An inclusive and supportive team culture

- Opportunities for professional growth and advancement

- The chance to make a meaningful impact on our business and in our customers' lives

This is a unique opportunity to join an early-stage startup and make a significant impact on its growth trajectory. If you love getting a client's books right every month and want to see the impact of your work on the businesses you serve, we'd love to hear from you.

We encourage individuals of all backgrounds and experiences to apply as we believe a diverse team can drive innovation.

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.
