What You'll Do

You're an experienced accountant, preferably with a few years handling accounting for e-commerce businesses, in the $0-$50M/year revenue range. While you can handle bookkeeping and accounting like an expert, you also have endless ideas about ways to make things better — from little things like automating email templates or checklists to big things like a vision for how a software platform could automagically handle revenue recognition, if only you had some engineering help.

Accounting

• Standard GL work for fast paced clients including bank reconciliations, merchant processing reconciliations, coding transactions, payroll reconciliations, inventory reconciliations, etc.
• Basic cost accounting and margin analysis
• Data entry and reconciliation between multiple systems
• Communicate efficiently and effectively with client regarding accounting
• Support the AP/AR process and procedures
• Support different elements of the month-end close and reporting processes
• Labor reporting and accounting
• Other balance sheet reconciliation processes
• Ad hoc project support

Product

• While your primary focus will be on the execution of clients' books and codifying team bookkeeping processes, you'll be an important reference point for the accounting and product teams as we consider the developing product roadmap.
• Specific experience working on a Product isn't necessary; we'll guide you. But big ideas, openness to learning a new field, and the ability to execute are what we're looking for.

Culture

• Cultivate a safe working environment by upholding inclusive and anti-discriminatory practices and policies.
• Contribute to a culture of accounting excellence by conducting constructive, no-ego team meetings and working to constantly improve workflows and processes.
• Full of ambition and get-it-done-ness. Sees a gap and finds ways to fill it. Excited to create and iterate processes.

• Degree in Accounting
• Amenable working US business hours
• Experience handling accounting for e-commerce businesses, preferably in the $0-50M/year revenue range
• Familiarity working with Quickbooks Online
• Excellent understanding of GAAP
• Time Management: The ability to organize and manage multiple priorities
• Strong customer service skills/background
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Empathy for the demands of startup founders
• This is a startup role. There are very few departments and there is little in the way of infrastructure. It's all about endless execution at this phase, which is what makes it so exciting — you can jump into almost anything! — but also the biggest difference between startup life and traditional corporate culture. We want folks who don't need a huge supporting staff to get things done; they know how to ask questions, search, and pull strings to get anything done even when no one thought it was possible.
