About Anthropic

Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that's working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. Backed by Accel, Bessemer and General Catalyst.

About the role

Anthropic is seeking an Accountant to join our Corporate Accounting team. You will be a hands-on member of the close: owning a defined set of accounts and entities from transaction through reconciliation, and making sure what lands in the financial statements is accurate, supported, and explainable. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Working knowledge of US GAAP, applied hands-on to the monthly close: journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and financial statement support
  • Experience preparing account reconciliations and flux analyses in an ERP or general ledger system (for example, Workday, NetSuite, or equivalent)
  • Strong spreadsheet skills, including lookups, pivot tables, and reconciling large data sets in Excel or Google Sheets
  • Experience supporting external audits and operating internal controls
  • Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain accounting results to colleagues who are not accountants
  • Sound judgment on when to resolve an issue independently and when to escalate it
