Role Summary
We’re hiring a hands-on Senior Accountant to own the full accounting function and monthly close in a fast-growing e-commerce business. This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in a lean environment, understands high-volume transaction flows, and can build scalable, automated processes across accounting, tax, and systems.
You’ll work directly with the CFO and play a key role in preparing the company for increased transaction complexity, including global payment flows, multi-currency settlements, indirect tax compliance, and evolving revenue recognition requirements as the business scales.
What You’ll Do
Core Accounting
- Own the end-to-end monthly close, including journal entries, accruals, and reconciliations.
- Maintain accurate financials in QuickBooks in accordance with GAAP.
- Prepare and review all accounting entries across the business.
- Ensure a clean, audit-ready balance sheet and P&L.
Payments & Reconciliations
- Manage and reconcile Stripe and payment platform activity.
- Build scalable processes for high-volume transaction reconciliation.
- Prepare for increasing complexity across refunds, disputes, and chargebacks.
- Manage reconciliations across payment processors, settlement accounts, reserves, refunds, chargebacks, and international payment flows.
- Develop scalable controls and reconciliation processes for high-volume consumer transactions.
Revenue & Tax
- Apply proper revenue recognition across multiple revenue streams.
- Support the implementation and ongoing management of sales tax and VAT.
- Partner with external advisors and tools to ensure compliance as the business scales.
- Account for complex transaction flows involving payment intermediaries, international customers, and multiple jurisdictions.
- Support compliance with sales tax, VAT, GST, and other indirect tax requirements.
Automation & Systems
- Identify and implement automation opportunities across accounting workflows.
- Improve and maintain integrations between Stripe, QuickBooks, and other systems.
- Leverage and introduce AI tools to streamline reconciliations, transaction classification, the close process, and reporting workflows
Process Building
- Design and document scalable accounting processes and controls.
- Reduce manual work and improve efficiency over time.
- Anticipate future needs as transaction volume and complexity grow.
Requirements
What We’re Looking For
- 4–7+ years of accounting experience.
- Strong ownership of month-end close and accrual accounting.
- Experience in e-commerce, SaaS, digital commerce, marketplaces, subscription businesses, or other high-volume transaction environments.
- Hands-on experience with QuickBooks and Stripe (or similar platforms).
- Familiarity with sales tax and/or VAT (implementation experience a plus).
- Demonstrated ability to build or improve processes, not just maintain them.
- Comfort operating independently and remotely in accounting.
- Experience reconciling payment processor activity, settlement reports, refunds, disputes, reserves, and chargebacks.
- Understanding of revenue recognition and accounting for complex transaction flows.
- Familiarity with multi-currency transactions and indirect tax requirements (sales tax, VAT, GST).
Nice to Have
• CPA (or working toward it).
- Experience supporting businesses with international transaction flows, multi-currency settlements, payment processor integrations, and indirect tax compliance.
- Experience working in environments with complex payment ecosystems involving refunds, chargebacks, customer remittances, and global tax obligations.
- Experience implementing tax tools such as Avalara or TaxJar.
- Experience implementing automation and AI tools (e.g., workflow automation, integrations).
What Success Looks Like
- Month-end close is accurate, timely, and repeatable.
- Stripe and bank reconciliations are clean and scalable despite high volume.
- Sales tax and VAT are implemented and running smoothly.
- Manual processes are reduced through automation and AI tools.
- Accounting infrastructure is prepared to support global transaction volumes, payment processor integrations, indirect tax compliance, and scalable revenue accounting processes.
Why This Role
- Full ownership of accounting with direct CFO exposure.
- The opportunity to build systems the right way early.
- A high-impact role as the business scales in volume and complexity.
