Sr. Accountant

Overview

This role involves owning the transactional layer of the accounting function, including spend, payables, receivables, cash, and reconciliations across a growing group of entities. The position ensures accounting data is accurate, complete, and trusted by internal stakeholders.

The work is end-to-end: identify issues early, build processes and controls that support scaling, and collaborate across teams—comfortable both coaching non-finance teammates on expense policy and performing detailed reconciliation tasks.

AI-assisted workflows are a core part of how the accounting team operates.

• Prepare assigned bank and balance sheet reconciliations, including spend platform to GL tie-outs, with clean, audit-ready support.
• Record routine cash and intercompany entries across company entities using established processes.

• Keep department and account coding current and aligned with the organization’s structure as the business changes.
• Lead process improvements to increase automation and accuracy, including AI-assisted reconciliations and workflows.
• Partner with the accounting team and RevOps to keep deal data in HubSpot accurate and reconciled to the GL.
