Senior Accountant

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential payments technology company in their search for a Senior Accountant. Our client is modernizing their finance systems and building a lean, highly automated accounting function. This is a broad, hands-on individual contributor role on a small team where automation handles routine work, allowing you to focus on ownership, judgment, exception handling, and continuous improvement of the monthly close process.

This position reports to the Accounting Manager and is ideal for an accountant who is comfortable across the full close cycle, curious about new systems, and eager to leverage automation and AI tools to work more efficiently.

Responsibilities

• Assist with the recurring month-end close: prepare and post journal entries, accruals, prepaids, and amortization; complete assigned account reconciliations; and investigate variances
• Perform balance sheet and subledger reconciliations across the general ledger, ensuring items are properly supported and cleared timely
• Support accounts payable, accounts receivable, and billing in an automated environment, focusing on review, exception handling, and controls
• Process and administer company payroll, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with federal, state, and local regulations
• Record and reconcile payroll-related accounting entries and administer equity/stock programs, including related reconciliations and reporting
• Support day-to-day expense management, including reviewing, approving, and reconciling employee expense reports and corporate card transactions
• Take first pass on revenue recognition: enter and configure customer contracts in NetSuite under ASC 606, preparing schedules for Controller review
• Support the outsourced tax function by gathering schedules and documentation for external providers
• Act as a power user across finance systems (NetSuite, modern HRIS and expense platforms), helping maintain configurations, troubleshoot, and keep integrations running smoothly
• Identify and implement process improvements: streamline close tasks, build automations, and pilot AI-enabled workflows that reduce manual effort and improve accuracy
• Support the annual audit and maintain clear process documentation for your areas of ownership

What We're Looking For

Required qualifications:

• 4+ years of progressive accounting experience, including ownership of month-end close activities
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• Solid working knowledge of U.S. GAAP, including exposure to revenue recognition under ASC 606
• Hands-on experience with a major ERP; NetSuite strongly preferred
• Strong reconciliation and analytical skills, with high attention to detail and accuracy
• Comfort working in a lean, fast-changing environment where you own outcomes end-to-end
• Genuine curiosity about and comfort experimenting with AI tools and new systems, with eagerness to adopt them to work smarter (expertise not required; we value the mindset and aptitude)
• Current legal authorization to work in the United States without sponsorship

Additional skills we value:

• CPA certification or active CPA candidate status
• Experience in SaaS, technology, or payments/fintech industries
• Experience using AI tools like Claude in an accounting context
• Familiarity with modern finance platforms such as Rippling, Ramp, Carta, or comparable tools
• A track record of process improvement or automation—examples of manual work you eliminated or streamlined
