Staff Accountant

Staff Accountant

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. Our current billing process is complex and highly manual, involving usage-based inputs, customer-specific pricing, contract interpretation, invoice revisions, customer portals, purchase order requirements, and collections follow-up. You'll be responsible for keeping this work accurate and moving forward while helping the Controller improve and automate the underlying processes.

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.

This role requires being onsite in our NYC office in Flatiron Tuesday through Thursday. Candidates must currently be based in the New York City area.

You'll report to our Controller and work closely with her to manage the company's day-to-day billing and AR needs while building more scalable finance processes.

You'll also partner with Sales and Client Services on customer contracts, billing questions, invoice disputes, usage reconciliation, and collections. Because you'll communicate directly with customers, we're looking for someone who brings professionalism, sound judgment, and a strong service mindset to every interaction.

As you grow in the role, you'll become a broader partner to the Controller across accounting operations, month-end close, payroll, and audit preparation.
