Junior Accountant

What is the role? We are currently seeking a detail-oriented Junior Accountant to join our finance team. This role is focused on the day-to-day transactional accounting that keeps our business running — processing payables, reconciling card and bank activity, managing payment disputes, and supporting our senior accountant through the month-end close. As a key member of our finance team, you will report to the Controller and work closely with the Senior Accountant, contributing to the accuracy and timeliness of our financial records across multiple entities. The Junior Accountant owns the recurring transactional workflows that flow into our close — daily bank monitoring, AP processing in Bill.com, corporate card coding in Ramp, expense report processing in Expensify, and payment dispute responses across Stripe and Fiserv. You will support our Senior Accountant on month-end close tasks within FloQast and Sage Intacct, including bank reconciliations and standard schedules. Success in this role means consistent, accurate, and on-time execution of recurring deadlines across multiple entities, with the discipline to flag exceptions early rather than letting them become close issues.
