Sr. Accountant

Senior Accountant / Entity Accounting Lead (FinTech / Enterprise AI) Location: New York, NY (Onsite) Salary: $120,000 base plus equity

About the Company:

We are partnering with a high-growth enterprise AI platform transforming global finance for top-tier investment banks, private equity firms, and institutional asset managers. Backed by world-class venture investors, the company delivers AI-driven solutions that automate complex financial workflows with unmatched speed and accuracy.

About the Role:

Reporting directly to the Accounting Manager, you will serve as the internal owner of the month-end close cycle across US and international entities. This role focuses on governance, internal controls, process documentation, and operational oversight - establishing a structured runbook to streamline entity accounting as the company expands globally. This is an analytical, oversight, and controls-driven role, not a data-entry position.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Global Close & Financial Operations

• Month-End Close: Manage entity-level books under US GAAP on corporate deadlines, partnering closely with local international accounting providers.
• GAAP Reconciliation: Prepare local-to-US GAAP bridge documentation and support local statutory accounting filings.
• General Ledger & Controls: Own balance sheet reconciliations, accruals, prepaids, fixed asset registers, and intercompany billing/settlement logic (including transfer pricing entries).
• Payroll Accounting: Support payroll accounting and reconciliations across US and international payrolls.

2. AP Governance & External Audit

• AP Oversight: Supervise the outsourced AP specialist team across vendor onboarding, W-9/W-8 compliance, GL coding reviews, approval workflows, payment controls, and AP aging.
• Audit Support: Serve as a key touchpoint for external audits by preparing PBC items, detailed workpapers, reconciliations, and process walkthroughs.

Required Qualifications:

• Experience: 3+ years of progressive accounting experience (Public Accounting / High-Growth FinTech or Tech experience strongly preferred).
• Technical Mastery: Strong grounding in US GAAP with working familiarity with international/local statutory frameworks.
• System & Excel Skills: Hands-on experience with modern cloud ERP systems (NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or similar) and advanced Excel modeling capabilities.
• Audit Discipline: Rigorous reconciliation discipline, clear documentation habits, and hands-on audit support experience.

Preferred Qualifications:

• CPA certification (or active track) preferred.
• Experience coordinating multi-entity close, intercompany transactions, or international subsidiary accounting.
