The posting
Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our diverse team of technologists have developed a high performance RISC-V CPU from scratch, and share a passion for AI and a deep desire to build the best AI platform possible. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.
This is an opportunity to do more than maintain the books. You will help build the accounting foundation that enables a high-growth technology company to scale globally, operate with financial discipline, and make informed business decisions.
You are a highly motivated, detail-oriented accounting professional who combines strong technical accounting expertise with a passion for operational excellence and continuous improvement. You thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where processes are evolving, priorities are dynamic, and the ability to scale is essential. You bring a strong foundation in US GAAP, financial reporting, and internal controls, coupled with a practical, hands-on approach to solving problems.
This role is hybrid or remote, based out of Santa Clara, CA; Austin, TX or Boston, MA.
We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.

- You have a strong command of US GAAP, financial reporting, accounting policies, internal controls, and monthly, quarterly, and annual close cycles.
- You have experience with complex accounting areas such as revenue recognition (ASC 606), inventory and cost accounting, fixed assets, leases (ASC 842), and intercompany transactions, ideally across multiple entities, currencies, and reporting requirements.
- You are comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where priorities evolve and processes need to scale. Experience in technology, semiconductors, hardware manufacturing, or a similarly complex business is preferred.
What We Need
- Own key activities within the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes. Prepare and review journal entries, accruals, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules to ensure accurate and timely financial reporting.

Partner with FP&A to explain financial results, align accounting records with management reporting, and improve forecast accuracy. Support Treasury and Tax with intercompany transactions, legal-entity accounting, and international accounting requirements.
- Identify opportunities to improve close efficiency and establish clear process ownership, documentation, and performance metrics. Participate in ERP enhancements, implementations, and system integrations. Mentor junior team members and keep finance leadership informed of risks, operational issues, and process improvement opportunities.
