Staff Accountant

Staff AccountantEvertune is building the first AI discovery platform for modern marketers. We're hiring a Staff Accountant to join our growing finance function. Your initial focus will be owning the day-to-day execution of accounts receivable and billing, which is one of the most important priorities for our team today. Reporting directly to our Controller, you'll manage invoicing, payment application, billing reconciliations, collections, and customer account setup. This is a strong opportunity for an early-career accountant who wants meaningful ownership and exposure to more than one area of accounting. As you become proficient in billing and AR, you'll have the opportunity to expand into accounts payable, credit card reconciliations, month-end close, journal entries, payroll, and audit support. The right person is smart, detail-oriented, and eager to learn. You should be comfortable reading contracts, working through unfamiliar situations, and taking responsibility for work that does not yet have a perfect playbook. A CPA is not required.
