As a Senior Accountant in Corporate Accounting, you will own key areas of general ledger accounting and month-end close processes, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting. You will partner closely with the FP&A team and cross-functional stakeholders to explain financial fluctuations, surface issues, and support accurate reporting at scale.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own assigned areas across monthly, quarterly, and annual close cycles: prepare accurate journal entries and adjustments with clear supporting documentation, and complete close work on schedule.
- By day 90, independently manage assigned close areas, perform balance sheet reconciliations, and resolve outstanding items with a clear escalation rhythm.
- By day 90, analyze financial results and explain variance drivers in management reporting, partnering with FP&A and other stakeholders to make numbers clear and actionable.
- By day 90, use AI-enabled tools and automation to streamline analysis, reconciliations, and recurring workflows, freeing time for higher-judgment accounting work.
- By end of year one, strengthen controls and accounting processes across your areas to support accurate financial statements.
- By end of year one, drive scalable improvements across Corporate Accounting, collaborating with FP&A, AP, Legal, and other teams to improve accuracy, efficiency, and consistency.
The role is based in San Francisco with a hybrid schedule: in-office on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays (Anchor Days).
REQUIREMENTS:
- Strong knowledge of US GAAP and accrual accounting, applied to produce accurate and well-supported accounting outcomes.
- Progressive accounting experience with 5+ years of hands-on ownership of month-end close processes.
- Proficiency with NetSuite and an active, practical approach to using AI and automation to streamline accounting workflows.
- Demonstrated ability to build cross-functional partnerships and communicate clearly with stakeholders at all levels, including explaining fluctuations and their business drivers.
- Ownership mindset, sound judgment, and continuous-improvement orientation: you look for ways to make work more accurate, scalable, and easier for others to build on.
