Position Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Accountant & Corporate Administrator to help build and manage the finance, accounting, and administrative infrastructure of SemiAnalysis as we continue to scale.

This role is ideal for someone who has worked in a startup or high-growth environment and has experience setting up finance and accounting processes from the ground up. You should be comfortable owning messy, ambiguous workflows, building systems where none exist, and improving processes without waiting for step-by-step direction.

You will be responsible for comprehensive financial and administrative activities across multiple business functions, including accounting, payroll, HR administration, vendor management, banking, corporate compliance, and regulatory filings. This role serves as an operational backbone of the organization, ensuring accurate financial reporting, smooth day-to-day business operations, and scalable internal processes.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, autonomous, and proactive, with experience managing accounting records, supporting financial statement preparation, coordinating tax and regulatory requirements, and using tools like QuickBooks, payroll platforms, expense systems, and other business management software.

The role will be full-time, based in the United States.

Responsibilities

  • Finance & Accounting Operations: Own day-to-day accounting workflows, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, expense tracking, reconciliations, and month-end close support.
  • Finance Function Buildout: Help design, implement, and improve finance and accounting processes, including chart of accounts structure, approval workflows, reporting cadence, documentation, and internal controls.
  • Payroll & Benefits Administration: Support payroll processing, benefits administration, employee reimbursements, and coordination with payroll and HR platforms.
  • Banking & Cash Management: Manage banking operations, monitor cash flow, support strategic allocation of funds across accounts, and maintain clean records of cash movements.
  • Vendor Management: Handle purchasing and vendor processes from onboarding through payment, including compliance checks, invoice review, contract tracking, and payment coordination.
  • Financial Reporting: Prepare financial reports, assist with financial statement preparation, monitor budgets and commitments, and support leadership with visibility into company performance.
  • Tax & Regulatory Coordination: Coordinate tax filings, corporate registrations, state registrations, insurance renewals, regulatory filings, and other recurring compliance obligations.
  • Corporate Administration: Maintain organized documentation across finance, HR, compliance, vendor, tax, and corporate records.
  • HR & Employee Operations Support: Support employee onboarding and offboarding, including benefits enrollment, employment documentation, payroll setup, and internal system coordination.
  • Process Improvement: Identify inefficiencies, automate recurring workflows where possible, and build scalable systems that reduce manual work and operational risk.

Requirements

  • 2–5 years of experience in accounting, finance operations, corporate administration, startup operations, or related roles.
  • Experience working in a startup, high-growth company, or lean operating environment where responsibilities were broad and processes were still being built.
  • Demonstrated experience helping set up or improve finance and accounting functions, including accounting workflows, reporting processes, vendor management, payroll coordination, or internal controls.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, Human Resources Management, Organizational Management, or a related field.
  • Experience with QuickBooks or similar accounting software.
  • Experience supporting financial statement preparation, accounting records, reconciliations, and month-end close processes.
  • Experience managing tax filings, state registrations, corporate compliance requirements, or other recurring business obligations.
  • Comfort working across payroll systems, HR management platforms, expense tools, banking platforms, and business management software.
  • Exceptional organizational skills with strong attention to detail.
  • High agency and autonomy; able to identify what needs to be done, build a plan, and execute without constant direction.
  • Ability to prioritize multiple tasks and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Self-motivated with the ability to work independently while coordinating across internal teams and external providers.

Preferred Skills

  • Chartered Accountant, CPA, or equivalent accounting qualification preferred but not required.
  • Prior experience as an early finance, accounting, or operations hire at a startup.
  • Experience building finance processes from scratch, including reporting packages, approval workflows, accounting calendars, and internal documentation.
  • Experience with multi-entity accounting, international corporate structures, state registrations, or regulatory filings.
  • Understanding of US employment laws, payroll compliance, and HR best practices.
  • Knowledge of R&D tax credit documentation requirements.
  • Experience working with external accountants, tax advisors, payroll providers, legal counsel, insurance brokers, and corporate service providers.
  • Comfort with process automation, systems implementation, and scaling operational workflows.

Growth Areas

  • Build and own scalable finance and accounting infrastructure as SemiAnalysis continues to grow.
  • Deepen expertise in multi-entity and international corporate structuring, including cross-border compliance, tax considerations, and regulatory frameworks.
  • Expand capabilities in financial planning and analysis, including budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, and strategic reporting.
  • Develop stronger ownership of end-to-end finance operations, including audit preparation, internal controls, monthly close, and governance processes.
  • Gain exposure to strategic decision-making by supporting leadership on capital allocation, cost optimization, vendor management, and operational scaling.
  • Strengthen knowledge of HR operations, payroll systems, compensation structures, and compliance in a high-growth, distributed organization.
  • Progress toward a senior finance, accounting, operations, or finance lead role with ownership over financial infrastructure and organizational operations.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
