Senior Accountant (Contract-to-Hire)

About Us Gumloop is a piece of AI infrastructure that lets developers build agents securely, manage data access, choose AI models, and host everything in their own cloud. The company works with Gusto, Ramp, Shopify, Samsara, Instacart, and Opendoor, and has raised over $70M from Benchmark, First Round Capital, Y Combinator, Nexus Ventures. Role Overview As a Senior Accountant you will own the in‑house accounting function while the company moves away from outsourced bookkeeping. You will manage the full close for U.S. and Canadian entities, produce accurate financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and bring structure to revenue recognition, multi‑entity consolidations, and financial controls. The role sits at the center of how Gumloop understands its unit economics, partnering with leadership on ASC606 revenue accounting for subscriptions, usage, credits, overages, and enterprise contracts, as well as infrastructure‑related COGS and key metrics for a usage‑based SaaS business. Engagement Structure This is a one‑year contract engagement averaging about 20 hours per week, with peak activity around month‑end and the beginning of each month. Outside close periods, the schedule is lighter and more flexible. The contract may transition to full‑time employment depending on business needs and performance. The contractor must be reliably available during agreed‑upon close periods and may support other non‑competing clients provided no conflict of interest occurs. The anticipated contract rate is $45–$65 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications. What You’ll Do Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes for the U.S. and Canadian entities. Prepare accurate and timely financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Own account reconciliations, journal entries, accruals, intercompany transactions, consolidations, and financial reporting. Manage accounts payable, payroll accounting, expense accounting, fixed assets, and cash reconciliations. Own revenue accounting and ASC606 revenue recognition for subscription, usage‑based, and enterprise contracts. Coordinate U.S. and Canadian corporate tax filings, sales taxes, payroll taxes, and other regulatory requirements. Lead the accounting handoff from Gumloop’s current outsourced provider. Strengthen accounting processes, documentation, and financial controls as the company grows. What You Bring Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP and 4–5 years of accounting experience. Experience owning the full month‑end close process from start to finish. Multi‑entity accounting experience, including intercompany transactions and consolidations. Hands‑on experience with ASC606 and SaaS revenue recognition, including subscriptions, usage‑based revenue, deferred revenue, and contract assets. A CPA or equivalent accounting qualification.
