Location: San Francisco Bay Area | Hybrid, minimum three days onsite per week

Employment Type: Full-time, Permanent

About the Opportunity

The Role

Reporting to the Controller, the Senior Accountant will lead assigned month-end close activities, prepare and review complex journal entries and account reconciliations, and own audit-readiness across their areas. Audit exposure isn't a nice-to-have here, it's central to how the team operates day to day.

You'll manage the cash disbursement and release process, serve as a key point of contact for banking relationships, and support the organization's corporate card program. You'll also handle required information return filings; experience with cross-border or foreign-payee tax reporting is a strong plus.

On the systems side, you'll take ownership of day-to-day administration of the organization's expense and AP workflow platform, identify and implement internal control improvements. This organization is well-resourced and genuinely interested in modernizing its finance systems, so if you enjoy thinking about how technology can make a process better rather than just running the process as it exists today, this will be a strong fit.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance, CPA preferred.
• A minimum of five years of progressive accounting experience with solid GAAP knowledge and meaningful audit exposure, additional years preferred.
• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills, with the confidence to exercise independent judgment on non-routine transactions.
• Exceptional attention to detail and organization, able to manage multiple deadlines independently.
• Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work across all levels of an organization.
• Systems-savvy and proficient in Microsoft Office, with hands-on experience in a modern cloud-based accounting or ERP system (Sage Intacct experience a strong plus).

Why This Role

This organization offers real stability: a tenured, collaborative team, and a culture that genuinely values thoughtful, forward-looking finance professionals. Benefits include a strong employer retirement contribution, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, generous combined vacation and sick leave, and additional perks that reflect a workplace that invests in its people.
