Slate

About Slate
At Slate, we’re building safe, reliable vehicles that people can afford, personalize and love—and doing it here in the USA as part of our commitment to reindustrialization. The spirit of DIY and customization runs throughout every element of a Slate, because people should have control over how their trucks look, feel, and represent them.
Who We Are Looking For
Slate Auto is seeking a Senior Accountant, Warranty & Service Parts to join our Commercial Accounting team. Reporting to the Manager, Commercial Accounting, this role is the primary executor of warranty and service parts accounting—owning the day-to-day journal entries, reconciliations, and close deliverables that support the team's warranty liability methodology and financial reporting.
As an early member of the Commercial Accounting team, you will help build foundational processes and controls that scale with the business. The ideal candidate brings strong technical accounting and warranty accounting experience, understands the downstream accounting implications of operational decisions, and partners effectively across Finance, Sales, Operations, Legal, and FP&A. This person is proactive, highly analytical, and comfortable establishing controls, solving complex accounting issues, and contributing to a high-growth automotive or EV setting—with deep technical grounding in ASC 450.
What You Get To Do
Prepare and post journal entries for warranty accruals and service parts, including monthly expense accruals, claim settlements, and inventory adjustments, in support of the warranty liability methodology and procedures.
Prepare quarterly and annual warranty accrual calculations, true-up schedules, and supporting workpapers for management review and financial statement disclosures.
Support external audit preparation by assembling reconciliations, workpapers, and supporting schedules for warranty-related audit requests.
Maintain and apply the warranty liability methodology—preparing roll-forwards, updating assumption inputs, and flagging shifts in claims experience for management review
Support cross-functional initiatives with Sales, Operations, Legal, Engineering, and FP&A by providing accounting data, analysis, and conclusions that ensure warranty programs and contractual terms are accurately reflected in the financial statements.
Partner with FP&A by providing actuals data, accounting context, and variance explanations to support warranty expense forecasting and budget development.
Execute and continuously improve accounting processes and internal controls for warranty and service liabilities, surfacing ideas that support scalability, automation, and SOX readiness.
Identify and escalate accounting implications of new products, services, and operational changes, and assist in documenting conclusions prior and during product launch.
Identify and surface opportunities for process improvement within SAP, partnering with IT to enhance data accuracy, reporting, and operational insight.
What You Bring
Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA or CPA candidates preferred
4+ years of relevant accounting experience; public accounting experience strongly preferred
Solid understanding of warranty and contingent liability accounting under ASC 450, with hands-on experience preparing accruals, roll-forwards, and reconciliations
Experience with service parts or spare-parts inventory accounting under ASC 330, including COGS, reserves, and cycle-count reconciliation
Proficiency with ERP systems (SAP preferred) and comfort working with IT on integrations and transaction flow design
Advanced Excel skills; strong analytical mindset with close attention to detail
Proven ability to build processes from scratch in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with demonstrated initiative and independent thought
Automotive, EV, or manufacturing experience preferred
Self-starter with a positive mindset and genuine excitement for building something from the ground up in a start-up environment
Agile and adaptable workstyle and comfortable navigating ambiguity, shifting priorities, and evolving processes as the business scales
Natural problem-solver who digs into complexity, asks the right questions, and finds practical solutions without waiting to be directed
One-team mentality with an emphasis on collaboration, generous with knowledge, and motivated by shared wins over individual recognition
Excellent communicator with the ability to translate accounting conclusions clearly for non-accounting partners and escalate issues proactively to the Manager, Commercial Accounting.
WHY JOIN TEAM SLATE?
At Slate, we’re fueled by grit, determination, and attention to detail. The start-up spirit of ingenuity and resourcefulness move our business forward. Team Slate fosters a culture of excellence, innovation, and mutual respect, and is motivated by shared principles.
