Senior Accountant, AI & Automation

Overview

This Senior Accountant role (AI & Automation) protects the integrity of financial records while helping build a finance function that scales. The focus includes owning key parts of the monthly close and redesigning accounting processes to systematically reduce manual work, shorten the close, and support growth without proportional increases in accounting headcount.

Approximately 30–40% of time will be dedicated to automation, process redesign, and building scalable finance workflows, with the remainder focused on core accounting responsibilities.

Responsibilities

• Own significant portions of the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, including journal entries, general ledger reconciliations, and supporting schedules.
• Own an accounting automation roadmap: identify and prioritize high-value opportunities; build and implement solutions using AI tools; measure time/cycle-time savings; and continuously improve processes while maintaining appropriate controls and auditability.
• Build automations that are documented, controlled, and maintainable by the broader accounting team; train teammates on new workflows so improvements scale beyond individual responsibilities.
• Manage sales tax and VAT compliance, including Avalara setup and maintenance, reconciliations, multi-state filings, and partnership with outside advisors.
• Support revenue recognition and deferred revenue.
• Own accrued expenses, prepaid accounts, and commission, bonus, and payroll-related entries.
• Maintain fixed assets, depreciation schedules, and lease accounting.
• Prepare journal entries and reconciliations for FamilyWall, the French subsidiary.
• Prepare audit schedules and support the annual financial statement audit, internal control documentation, and tax compliance.
• Assist with monthly financial statements, management and board reporting, variance analysis, cash flow reporting, and departmental reporting.
• Partner cross-functionally with FP&A, HR, Payroll, and Sales Operations to improve financial processes, reporting, and scalability.
• Assist and back up Accounts Payable and expense reimbursement reviews and approvals.

Requirements

• 3+ years in an accounting role with hands-on experience preparing account reconciliations, journal entries, and supporting the monthly close.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting; CPA and/or a Master’s in Accounting or Finance is a plus.
• Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and experience with sales tax compliance.
• Experience with Oracle/NetSuite and Avalara, plus advanced Excel skills (Pivot Tables, XLOOKUP, SUMIFS; Power Query a plus).
• Demonstrated experience personally building or implementing automation that improved an accounting or finance process; be prepared to explain what was built, how it worked, and the measurable impact.
• Hands-on experience building repeatable workflows using some combination of AI tools, SQL, Python, APIs, or workflow automation platforms.
• Strong financial statement analysis skills.
• Comfortable working independently and managing competing deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Detail-oriented and highly organized, with a knack for catching what others miss.
• Analytical problem-solver comfortable digging into the “why” behind a variance.
• Clear, confident communication skills with the ability to translate financial detail for non-finance stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications
