Metropolis Technologies is seeking a Senior Accountant to join its Corporate Accounting team. The company is pioneering the Recognition Economy through AI-powered solutions that transform everyday experiences like parking, retail, and hospitality into seamless, intelligent interactions. In this role, you will own key areas of the monthly, quarterly, and annual financial close process, ensuring timely and accurate financial reporting in compliance with US GAAP. You will prepare complex journal entries, technical accounting analyses, and comprehensive balance sheet reconciliations across revenue recognition, accrued liabilities, prepaid expenses, leases, and fixed assets. You'll serve as the primary liaison with external auditors during annual audits, preparing audit-ready workpapers, financial statement disclosures, and documentation. You will evaluate, design, and implement robust internal controls using a SOX-ready framework to streamline financial reporting as the business scales. The role requires performing technical accounting research on complex transactions (ASC 606, ASC 842, ASC 360) and drafting formal technical accounting memos. You'll collaborate cross-functionally with FP&A, Operations, Engineering, Legal, and Tax teams to review contracts, track capital expenditures, and ensure accurate accounting treatment. Additionally, you will perform monthly variance analyses and deliver actionable financial insights to leadership and stakeholders. The role emphasizes identifying opportunities to leverage accounting technology, automation, and AI tools to streamline close workflows and enhance reporting efficiency. Required qualifications include a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Accounting or Finance, 3+ years of progressive accounting experience with 2–3 years in national public accounting, and an active CPA or CPA candidate status. You must have strong technical knowledge of US GAAP, internal control frameworks, and proven experience managing full-cycle audit engagements. Proficiency with modern ERP systems (NetSuite, Oracle, SAP) and advanced Excel skills are essential. The ideal candidate is proactive, analytical, adaptable to complex scenarios in tech environments, and interested in leveraging modern technology to improve accounting operations. Metropolis operates on an office-first model requiring employees to be on-site at least four days per week to foster innovation and culture.
