Baseten is a Series F AI infrastructure company ($1.5B valuation) that powers mission-critical inference for leading AI companies like Cursor, Notion, and Abridge. The company is scaling rapidly across headcount, entity structure, transaction volume, and contract complexity.
You will join the corporate accounting team as a hands-on manager responsible for the general ledger, month-end and year-end close, and accounting processes and controls. This is a full-ownership role on a lean team where you'll drive the accounting function as the business scales.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own day-to-day general ledger journal entries, account reconciliations, and monthly financial statement preparation
- Lead recurring close areas: accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, and equity compensation
- Set and manage the close calendar, coordinating with FP&A, Data, and cross-functional partners to ensure on-time, accurate closes
- Prepare and review monthly financial statements and flux analysis for leadership
- Identify and automate manual, error-prone steps in the close process
- Partner with cross-functional teams and external auditors to maintain tight internal controls and audit readiness
- Own audit deliverables including technical accounting memos, schedules, and sample testing support
- Administer and maintain the accounting systems stack (NetSuite, spend management platform) and drive automation
- Support FP&A on reporting, forecasting inputs, and variance analysis
- Advise FP&A, Legal, and Procurement on accounting implications of new entities, contracts, and programs
The role offers real scope and ownership of a growing function at a company operating at the frontier of AI infrastructure.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 3+ years specifically in corporate accounting, general ledger, and close management
- Deep working knowledge of US GAAP across core corporate accounting areas (accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, debt, leases)
- Hands-on experience owning account reconciliations and preparing monthly financial statements
- Direct experience owning the close calendar (not just contributing to a close run by someone else)
- Public company or audit-ready private company experience (Big 4 or industry, with audit exposure)
- Builder mentality with bias toward execution; comfortable on a lean team relative to company scale
- Experience with NetSuite or comparable ERP and a modern spend management platform
- Based in San Francisco or New York with ability to work in-person 3+ days per week
NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience at high-growth, venture-backed infrastructure or cloud company
- Experience supporting multi-entity or international consolidations
- Ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows
- CPA certification
- Exposure to SOX or SOX-readiness controls work
