Senior Accountant

DETAILS

Role Type: Full-Time W2 Employment

Client: Confidential

Location: 100% emote (US-Based)

Industry: FinTech

SUMMARY:

This role reports to the VP of Accounting and works closely with the Assistant Controller & Accounting Manager across a multi-entity, multi-revenue-stream business. You'll own meaningful areas of the month-end close, serve as a first line of quality review, and operate with the kind of independence that comes from real experience. Our client’s environment is complex — consolidated reporting across multiple subsidiaries, usage-based billing, SaaS subscriptions, and PE-level reporting standards. They’re looking for someone who is excited to take on this challenge and grow through a new learning experience.

The team is a small, high-performing team that values Relentlessness, Ownership, and Trust. Some of the processes you'll work with are well-established; others you'll help build from scratch. If you're the kind of person who sees a gap and fills it without being asked, who'd rather solve the root cause than patch a workaround, and who gets genuinely excited about using technology and automation to make things work better, this is the right environment for you.

Month-end close and audit season brings hard deadlines, and the team is expected to meet them with professionalism and composure. In return, you'll work alongside people who hold themselves to the same standard they ask of you, with direct visibility into how the business operates, real ownership of your work, and room to grow as the team and company scale.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Own month-end close execution for assigned areas, including balance sheet account reconciliations (Deferred and Unbilled Revenue, Capitalized Software, Capitalized Commissions, Internal Use Software) and bank reconciliations across all entities, including FBO accounts.

• Oversee deal setup and billing processes to ensure accuracy, completeness, and alignment with contractual terms.
• Support revenue recognition and billing reconciliation workflows across multiple revenue streams.
• Partner with the Assistant Controller and Accounting Manager to facilitate the annual audit, including preparing documentation, and ensuring timely resolution of outstanding items.
• Develop and continuously improve financial reporting procedures, identifying opportunities for automation and process optimization.
• Ensure financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and audit readiness requirements are consistently met.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with internal stakeholders to support business initiatives and enhance the accuracy and efficiency of financial reporting.
• Execute ad hoc analysis, projects, and reporting requests as assigned by leadership.
