Role Summary
We are looking for a strategic, high-energy Remote Sr Accountant to help venture-backed consumer startups (Seed through Series C) turn their dreams into reality. In this role, you aren’t just doing the books — you are a vital partner to founders, building robust financial systems from the ground up so they can focus on their products. This is a dynamic, high-variety position where you’ll shift between high-level advisory and essential day-to-day accounting. Must have experience working with multiple clients.
Key Responsibilities
- Financial Operations: Manage bank and credit card reconciliations, general ledger maintenance, and high-risk balance sheet accounts.
- Complex Accounting: Handle specialized startup needs, including revenue recognition (prepaid/deferred), COGS, inventory, and purchase orders.
- Reporting & Compliance: Produce monthly financial reports, year-end tax-ready packages, and manage 1099/W9 support.
- System Building: Create and update Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to enhance client efficiency and streamline their tech stacks.
- Client Management: Lead regular video meetings to provide financial clarity and act as a trusted point of contact for a diverse portfolio of clients.
Qualifications/Requirements
- Must have experience working with multiple clients
- Experience: 3+ years of accounting experience with a relevant degree (Accounting/Finance/Business) OR 5+ years of experience, ideally within a startup environment.
- Tech Savvy: Expert proficiency in QuickBooks Online, Bill.com, Expensify, Ramp, and the G-Suite. You should be comfortable adopting new AI tools and software.
- Soft Skills: Exceptional interpersonal skills and the ability to “context shift” quickly between different clients and industries.
- Startup Mindset: You are naturally curious, agile, and “scrappy”—ready to jump into the fast-paced, sometimes messy world of emerging companies.
Compensation/Benefits
- Flexibility: A remote-first workplace with a flexible schedule designed to promote work-life balance.
- Health & Security: Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your dependents, plus disability insurance.
- Wealth Building: 401(k) plan with a company match.
- Time Off: Flexible PTO—take the time you need when you need it.
- Home Office Support: A generous reimbursement to ensure your home office is productive and comfortable.
Why This Opportunity is Different
We are a remote-first community of over 190 experts dedicated to accelerating dreams. You’ll work with founders who are literally changing the world (our clients raised over $3B last year alone!). You have the freedom to design your own workday—whether that’s at a local coffee shop or your home office—while being part of a culture that prioritizes empathy and fresh perspectives over rigid corporate traditions.
