This is a high impact role for someone who wants to take ownership, shape financial operations, and grow with the company. You will work closely with our outsourced accounting firm to manage the monthly close and ensure accuracy across all accounting workflows. As we scale, you will help build the internal accounting function and bring processes in house.

This role is ideal for someone with strong SaaS experience, solid technical accounting knowledge, and a desire to help create structure in a fast paced startup. You will report directly to company leadership and be a trusted partner in supporting financial clarity and operational excellence.

This role is based in one of our hub cities. For most of our team, being in a hub is how the distributed model works: it's where we concentrate in-person collaboration, community, and the investment we make in people over time. We strongly prefer candidates already in a GC AI hub metro, and expect regular in-person time — coworking, team meals, and quarterly offsites — plus up to 10% travel.

We’re building something new in a once-in-a-generation shift in technology and the legal industry, so we move at a relentless pace. We expect urgency, ownership, and good judgment even when things aren’t perfectly clear. If you need structure and consensus to do your best work, this isn’t the right place for you. If you thrive in ambiguity and growth, work with intensity, and want real responsibility, keep reading. We’re excited to meet you.

GC AI is a distributed company with team members across North America, and soon Europe. We believe that because our business is AI, human connection matters more, not less. We invest in bringing people together through our hub model: regular coworking sessions, customer dinners, team and company offsites. If you’re in a location without an office, expect up to 10% travel (and more for customer-facing roles).

Team members in the San Francisco Bay Area and Provo, UT (within 50 miles of the office) work together on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. As we grow, we plan to establish permanent offices in more hub cities, and we will look to our team members to help build that in-person culture. We currently hire across the United States and Canada.
