About Zafran

Zafran's agentic platform proves what attackers can exploit in your environment, then mobilizes your existing defenses to stop them. Backed by Sequoia and Menlo.

About the role

General Ledger Ownership: Maintain and oversee the general ledger for US entities, including posting and reviewing journal entries, ensuring accurate transaction classification, and managing intercompany entries across Zafran's global structure. Accruals & Month-End Close: Own the US close process end-to-end - managing accruals, prepaid expenses, and deferred revenue, ensuring all transactions are recorded, reconciled, and documented on time. Drive continuous improvements in close efficiency as we scale.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of accounting experience with strong command of US GAAP and US tax compliance (federal, state, and local)
  • Hands-on experience with NetSuite, Salesforce, and Mesh (or a comparable expense/card management platform)
  • Proven ownership of month-end close including accruals, prepaid schedules, and reconciliations - not just supporting, but leading
  • Background in SaaS accounting, including familiarity with revenue recognition, deferred revenue, and subscription-based business models
  • Startup experience is a must - you're comfortable building from zero, working without a playbook, and wearing multiple hats
  • Demonstrated ability to use AI tools to streamline workflows and scale operations
More about this role

Zafran is looking for a Senior Accountant to be our first accounting hire in the United States and a foundational member of our growing finance team. This is a high-impact, build-from-scratch role - you won't just maintain the books, you'll help establish the financial infrastructure that scales with us.

Our Mission: To stop the exploitations of vulnerabilities, everywhere.

What makes us different: Zafran de-risks 90% of critical vulnerabilities overnight across your hybrid environment and uses your existing security tools to rapidly mitigate and remediate the 10% most likely to be exploited.

​​Who’s behind us: Zafran is backed by Sequoia Capital, Cyberstarts, and a deep belief that cybersecurity should move as fast as attackers do. We’re one of the fastest-growing companies in the industry, scaling to meet demand...
