Fal is a generative media infrastructure platform powering the next generation of AI products. The company provides high-performance inference, orchestration, and observability tools for developers and enterprises building AI-native applications.
You will own the accounting for fal's largest and fastest-growing cost base: compute infrastructure. This includes GPU capacity, colocation, hosting, and the engineering effort built on top. You'll manage detailed monthly reviews of infrastructure spend, establish technical accounting positions, and build systems and automation to scale these processes.
Key responsibilities include:
**Compute Cost Accounting**
- Own accounting for GPU and cloud provider agreements, including reserved capacity, committed usage, usage-based billing, credits, and true-ups
- Collaborate with Procurement to maintain a reliable, systems-based schedule of compute commitments, prepayments, deposits, and assets
- Capitalize GPU servers, networking, and data center equipment; manage depreciation, disposals, and impairment reviews
- Correctly classify compute costs between cost of revenue and operating expense (R&D and internal use) for accurate gross margin reporting
**Process Automation & Systems**
- Build AI agents, scripts, and automated workflows to keep compute accounting accurate, timely, and scalable
- Streamline recurring close work using AI/systems to assess usage data, match invoices to POs, flag anomalies, and draft journal entries
- Support ERP system implementation, including data flows, account structure, and migration for compute costs
**Close, Audit & Technical Areas**
- Ensure compute accounting is audit-ready with clear documentation and policies
- Review compute and colocation agreements to identify embedded leases (ASC 842) and other accounting impacts
- Collaborate with Infrastructure, Engineering, and Strategic Finance on capacity changes, forecasts, and cost per unit analysis
- Partner with Finance, Operations, Engineering, Procurement, Legal, and Technical Accounting on vendor billing accuracy and complex compute arrangements
You'll work hands-on with internal stakeholders and infrastructure partners, translating contracts, usage data, and invoices into correct accounting and clear cost insights.
**Requirements:**
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA preferred
- 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, preferably combining public accounting and operational experience at a technology company (cloud infrastructure, SaaS, or AI strongly preferred)
- Builder mindset with ability to design automated, reliable, and scalable processes
- Best-in-class attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
- Strong written and interpersonal communication skills; ability to translate technical accounting for non-technical audiences
- High agency: set priorities independently, make decisions, and drive work to completion
- Strong understanding of AI development and platform infrastructure landscape
- Experience at high-growth software, cloud infrastructure, AI, or capital-intensive technology company
- AI and automation first: use latest AI tools or build your own to automate reconciliations, analyze large datasets, and streamline work
