The Role

We're hiring a Senior Accountant to help scale our accounting function. You'll play a critical role in our close and reporting processes, partnering closely with Finance leadership and cross-functional teams to deliver accurate, timely, and decision-useful financial information.

This is a senior, high-impact role with real ownership. You'll own key accounting areas, improve processes and controls, and help build a scalable, audit-ready accounting foundation in a fast-paced environment.

What You'll Do

  • Own and support key aspects of the monthly and quarterly close, including journal entries, reconciliations, and flux analysis
  • Manage assigned operational accounting areas (e.g., cash, accruals, payroll, capitalized commissions, fixed assets, or revenue-related balances)
  • Prepare financial analyses and reporting packages for Finance leadership and FP&A
  • Partner with FP&A to ensure alignment between accounting results, forecasts, and business drivers
  • Improve and automate close processes, internal controls, and reporting workflows
  • Maintain accounting policies, procedures, and documentation in accordance with US GAAP
  • Support audit and review processes by preparing documentation and responding to auditor inquiries
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to support business initiatives and ensure accurate financial reporting

What You Bring

  • 4+ years of progressive accounting experience in high-growth or dynamic environments
  • Experience from a technology and/or scale-up start-up environment
  • Strong understanding of US GAAP and general accounting processes
  • Hands-on experience supporting month-end close and financial reporting
  • Detail-oriented, analytical, and comfortable owning work end to end
  • Strong communicator who collaborates well across Finance and the business

Nice to Have

  • Big 4 or high-growth technology company experience
  • CPA or other accounting certification
  • Experience with NetSuite, FloQast, or similar tools
  • Exposure to revenue or product accounting
  • Interest in automation, systems, and AI-enabled workflows

What's In It For You

  • Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients across Europe, APAC, and North America.
  • Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.
  • Meaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily.
  • In-person environment: Union Square office designed for ambitious builders and company provided lunch daily.
  • Benefits & Perks: We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package: Medical, Dental & Vision
    • Multiple medical plan options via Aetna and Kaiser Permanente
    • HSA or Healthcare FSA (based on plan selection)
    • Dental plans via MetLife
    • Vision plans via Vision Care

    Family Support

    • Generous parental leave
    • Free access to Maven Clinic
    • Dependent Care FSA
    • Free One Medical membership for employees and dependents

    Additional Perks

    • Pre-tax commuter benefits
    • Life Insurance + STD/LTD
    • 401(K) with generous company match
    • Unlimited PTO
    • Robust voluntary benefits, including identity protection (via Aura), legal coverage via MetLife, pet savings programs, and more
