The Role

Our Mission:

Driving technology always feels old. Not by a little bit. We believe vehicles can be a thousand times smarter, safer, and more connected to the world around us, and our mission is to see it happen. In 2019, we joined forces with Honda as their first startup acquisition, and now we’re expanding our vision into building the future of electric vehicles (BEV) for millions of people around the world.

Why Drivemode:

Join Drivemode for an exciting startup environment and a vibrant culture that combines impactful work, competitive compensation, and excellent benefits. By becoming a part of our team, you'll contribute to a crucial mission that revolutionizes the way people engage with vehicles, addressing both business needs and the world's environmental challenges. This presents an exceptional opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation and drive Honda's success in the EV market.

About The Role:

You’ll be the finance team’s go-to accountant—turning daily transactions into clear, actionable insights. Reporting to the Finance Director, you will own the full accounting cycle—from journal entries and the monthly close to system optimization—while partnering with cross-functional teams to keep approvals seamless and data flowing. If you thrive on precision and want to build a scalable finance foundation for a tech-forward company, we’d love to meet you.

What You'll Do:

Ensure full compliance with GAAP and company policies.
Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes.
Prepare and reconcile balance-sheet accounts and P&L statements.
Reconcile cash flow and manage A/P and A/R.
Support tax filings and coordinate with external tax advisors.
Audit financial records and transactions to safeguard accuracy and compliance.
Systems Management, Data Analysis & Forecasting
Implement, maintain, and optimize accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks, Xero); act as system administrator and integrate with other business tools.
Use advanced Excel/Google Sheets functions (SUMIF, XLOOKUP, Pivot Tables) to maintain financial databases, analyze data, and produce reports.
Deliver dashboards, visualizations, and cost projections that equip leadership to make faster, smarter decisions

What We Are Looking For

3+ years of full-cycle accounting with solid GAAP knowledge
Advanced Excel & Google Sheets (XLOOKUP, SUMIFS, Pivot Tables, Power Query, basic macros); data-driven mindset.
QuickBooks or Xero admin experience, including integrations with other business tools.
Detail-oriented communicator who streamlines workflows and meets tight deadlines.

Nice to Have

Strong close, reconciliation, and reporting skills; able to turn numbers into clear insights.
Multi-currency experience
