## About the role

We're looking for a Senior Accountant to become the operational core of the Finance team in San Francisco. You'll own the day-to-day accounting while continuously improving how we work. This is a hands-on role with an unusually broad scope: we're a small team, so you'll have real impact — from systems redesign to technical accounting questions. You'll start by mastering the transactional core; from there, the role grows as fast as you do.

## What they're looking for

- 3–5 years in accounting or audit — whether at a high-growth startup or coming from Big 4 (or similar) and ready to go in-house
- Fluency with modern finance tools. You don't need experience with our exact stack, you need to be someone who learns a new system in a week
- Able to own the full-cycle P2P process
- Solid understanding of US GAAP
- Able to manage multiple workflows simultaneously without things falling through the cracks
- Experience preparing reconciliation schedules and flux analyses
