Key Responsibilities:
- Own the consolidated statement of cash flows end-to-end, including preparation, supporting schedules, classification analysis under ASC 230, non-cash disclosures, and external auditor coordination
- Lead subsidiary and compliance-related reporting (entity-level financial statements, lender/covenant reporting, regulatory filings)
- Lead adoption of new accounting standards: impact assessment, system changes, disclosure drafting, controls, and auditor review
- Lead stock-based compensation reporting, including expense and award-activity roll-forwards
- Contribute to SEC filings (Forms 10-Q and 10-K) and related disclosures
- Develop and maintain peer disclosure benchmarking programs, including proactive review of competitor disclosures
- Partner with valuation specialists, Technical Accounting, Tax, and Corporate Development on purchase accounting and post-close reporting
- Identify and implement opportunities to leverage Claude and automation tools to improve reporting processes
- Build and maintain Claude-powered reporting workflows (roll-forwards, tie-outs, disclosure drafting, benchmarking) and document them for team adoption
- Design and maintain process documentation and controls; serve as primary auditor contact
The role is unique in its emphasis on AI-driven workflow innovation. You will work closely with Technical Accounting, Controllership, Tax, Legal, FP&A, Corporate Development, and external auditors. Anthropic builds with Claude daily, and this role involves designing workflows and automation that make reporting faster, more accurate, and more scalable.

- Experience with subsidiary, statutory, or compliance-related reporting (entity-level financial statements, lender/covenant reporting, regulatory filings)

- Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and SEC reporting requirements (Regulation S-X and S-K)
- Clear, concise written and verbal communication; ability to explain complex accounting topics to non-accounting partners
- Sound judgment; comfort owning ambiguous work, setting priorities, and meeting filing deadlines with minimal oversight
- Passion for Anthropic's mission to build safe, transformative AI systems
Preferred Qualifications:
- 12+ years of experience in financial reporting, SEC reporting, or public accounting (including time at a public company or one preparing to go public)
- Experience building or running a peer disclosure benchmarking program (EDGAR full-text search, XBRL data)

- CPA or equivalent certification
