Skills
Must have
- • 4+ years of hands-on accounting experience, including ownership of the full monthly close process.
- • Strong knowledge of US GAAP, including accruals, prepaids, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, and notes payable.
- • Experience preparing monthly financial statements and supporting external audits.
- • Daily, practical experience using Claude or a comparable AI tool for accounting or financial workflows, with examples of how you've applied it.
- • Experience creating at least one reusable Claude skill, project instruction set, or structured prompt workflow that others can follow.
- • Advanced proficiency in QuickBooks Online and spreadsheets.
- • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a highly detail-oriented and skeptical approach to validating AI-generated outputs.
- • Ability to explain and substantiate financial figures and identify discrepancies before they become reporting issues.
- • Strong written communication skills and the ability to document accounting procedures clearly.
Nice to have
- • CPA certification or currently pursuing CPA licensure.
- • Experience with invoice factoring or other receivables financing arrangements.
- • Experience in ad-tech, media, or marketplace revenue accounting.
- • Basic SQL knowledge and experience querying financial data in BigQuery.
- • Familiarity with Claude Code, MCP connectors, or no-code automation platforms such as Make or Zapier.
- • Previous experience as the first or sole accountant at a startup.
- What This Role Is Not
- • Not a software engineering position: You won't be expected to build or deploy applications. You will define accounting requirements and explain precisely how systems should work.
- • Not accounting by prompting: AI helps you work faster, but you remain responsible for reviewing, validating, and approving every financial figure.
- • Not a people-management role (yet): This is a hands-on individual contributor position. As the accounting function grows, the processes and skills you develop will help scale the team.

About the Role
Our client is looking for a hands-on Accountant to own their accounting function end to end, leveraging AI and automation to make processes faster, more accurate, and more efficient than traditional accounting workflows.
In this role, you will manage day-to-day bookkeeping, lead the monthly close, prepare financial statements, and serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors. You will also take ownership of controller-level responsibilities, including cash flow management, vendor payments, and supporting accounts receivable collections.
You will work primarily through their internally developed accounting application, Book It, and Claude. Using Claude's existing skills and developing new ones, you will continuously improve accounting workflows, eliminate manual tasks, and strengthen internal controls.
You don't need to be a software engineer. They have already built an internal month-end close application that automates recurring journal entries, posts transactions directly to QuickBooks Online with supporting documentation, generates auditable balance sheet schedules, and verifies that balances reconcile to the ledger.
Your role is to operate and oversee these systems, validate their outputs, and identify opportunities to automate the next manual step.
If you've ever thought, "I could write a skill for this" halfway through a reconciliation, this role is for you.
Key Responsibilities1. Accounting & Month-End Close
- Own and execute the monthly close process from start to finish using their internally developed application.
- Manage day-to-day bookkeeping in QuickBooks Online, including bank and credit card reconciliations, chart of accounts maintenance, and applying deposits to invoices.
- Upload and review monthly source files, including Carta reports, benefits carrier invoices, and payroll allocations.
- Review and approve proposed journal entries, ensuring accuracy before posting them to QuickBooks Online.
- Maintain supporting documentation and ensure all balance sheet accounts are reconciled and supported by accurate schedules.
2. Financial Reporting & Audit
- Prepare and issue monthly financial statements, including the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement.
- Provide concise monthly variance and flux analysis commentary.
- Support the preparation of quarterly investor reporting.
- Lead the external audit process, serving as the primary contact for auditors.
- Prepare audit PBC (Prepared by Client) schedules, supporting documentation, and respond to auditor inquiries.
