We’re looking for a collaborative, self-motivated Senior Accountant to join our Accounting & Finance team.
As our Senior Accountant, you’ll independently own meaningful areas of our accounting operations while helping us improve how the work gets done. You’ll combine strong accounting judgment with a systems mindset to streamline workflows, strengthen controls, and help our accounting processes scale.
What You'll Do
- Independently own key areas of the month-end close, including reconciliations, journal entries, account analysis, and other complex accounting activities within your scope
- Support accounting across a multi-entity environment, including areas such as intercompany activity, consolidation, foreign currency, payroll and compensation accounting, and related reconciliations
- Apply strong accounting judgment to investigate discrepancies, resolve issues, and maintain accurate and well-supported financial records
- Identify recurring manual work, control gaps, and inefficient accounting workflows, and support implementing practical improvements
- Use NetSuite/OneWorld functionality, automation, AI, and other tools to streamline accounting processes, improve data quality, and reduce unnecessary manual effort
- Partner with teammates and cross-functional stakeholders to understand process needs, recommend improvements, and implement solutions that balance efficiency, accuracy, and appropriate controls
- Support audit readiness and documentation while helping ensure accounting processes remain scalable, repeatable, and well controlled
To Be Set Up for Success in This Role, You'll Need to Have
- 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, with the ability to independently own substantive accounting processes and portions of the close
- Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP and experience applying accounting principles to increasingly complex transactions and operational accounting issues
- Hands-on experience working with NetSuite/OneWorld in a multi-entity accounting environment
- Experience identifying and implementing accounting process improvements, including examples where you have automated, redesigned, streamlined, or otherwise improved recurring workflows
- Strong reconciliation, analytical, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate issues and drive them through resolution
- Experience collaborating across teams and communicating accounting or process requirements clearly to stakeholders
- A CPA or equivalent accounting credential
If Any of the Below Also Describe You, This Could Be an Exciting Opportunity
- You have experience in SaaS, software, technology, or another complex and rapidly evolving business environment
- Your career includes experience in both public accounting and an in-house accounting or finance organization
- You’ve helped optimize financial close or reconciliation workflows using tools such as FloQast, BlackLine, or similar platforms
- You’ve used advanced Excel, reporting or data tools, workflow automation, no-code tools, SQL, AI, or similar technologies to improve accounting processes
- You have experience supporting ERP enhancements, implementations, integrations, or other accounting systems initiatives
- You enjoy experimenting with better ways to complete accounting work while maintaining strong financial controls and accounting integrity
In Addition, We're Always Looking for Candidates Who
- Take ownership of their work and independently move problems toward resolution while knowing when to involve others
- Bring curiosity to existing processes and look for practical opportunities to make them simpler, more reliable, and more scalable
- Balance speed and efficiency with accuracy, sound judgment, and appropriate financial controls
- Communicate clearly and work effectively with both accounting teammates and cross-functional partners
- Are comfortable operating in an evolving environment, navigating ambiguity, and adapting as business needs change
- Proactively incorporate AI tools into day-to-day work to improve productivity and accelerate delivery
