What You Can Expect

As a Senior Accountant on Zoom's General Ledger team, you will take ownership of the full accounting lifecycle for capitalized software, including Internal Use Software and Cloud Computing Arrangements, while contributing broadly to close processes, financial reporting, and balance sheet integrity.

About the Team

Zoom's General Ledger team sits within the Finance and Accounting organization, playing a foundational role in maintaining the accuracy and integrity of Zoom's financial statements.

• Maintain and reconcile assigned balance sheet accounts in compliance with US GAAP, investigating and resolving reconciling items in a timely manner.

• Prepare monthly and quarterly variance analyses comparing actuals to prior periods, and partner with FP&A to clearly explain significant P&L and balance sheet fluctuations.

• Support the financial reporting cycle by preparing and assembling reporting packages, including management-level P&L summaries, variance analyses, and supporting schedules.

• Ensure compliance with US GAAP, SOX controls, and company accounting policies through periodic control testing activities that validate the design and operating effectiveness of key controls.

• Contribute to monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes and serve as a key contributor to external and internal audit activities, including preparing PBC schedules and coordinating evidence gathering.

• Collaborate with Finance and IT to evaluate and implement AI-driven tools, automation solutions, and ERP improvements, providing functional accounting expertise and participating in testing and validation activities.

• Identify opportunities to streamline processes, improve data quality, and increase automation across general ledger activities.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance, or equivalent experience, with 5 or more years of progressive accounting experience including at least 2 years in a public company environment.

• Solid working knowledge of US GAAP with hands-on experience in accrual accounting, cost allocations, and the full month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close cycle.

• Proficiency with ERP systems such as Oracle, SAP, or similar enterprise platforms, combined with advanced Excel skills and comfort working with large data sets and complex reconciliations.

• Experience leveraging AI-powered tools and automation to accelerate day-to-day accounting tasks, with an interest in shaping how technology transforms accounting workflows.

• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities concurrently, meet firm deadlines in a high-volume close environment, and communicate accounting concepts clearly to non-finance stakeholders.

• CPA license or active CPA candidacy, with experience at a public accounting firm supporting public companies (preferred).

• Working knowledge of SOX 404 compliance and ASC 350-40 (Internal Use Software and CCA accounting), ideally with experience supporting engineering or technical teams in a SaaS or technology environment (preferred).
