Senior Accountant

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.
