ABOUT THIS ROLE

The ideal candidate is someone who loves data integrity, thrives during audit cycles, and possesses a strong understanding of stock-based compensation accounting. You will ensure our equity platform (Carta) perfectly aligns with our General Ledger, lead equity-related audit requests, and optimize our compensation-related workflows.

Audit Readiness & Financial Disclosures
- Own the preparation of all equity-related audit PBC (Prepared by Client) requests, ensuring seamless delivery and support for external auditors.
- Draft financial statement footnote disclosures and required tables related to equity and stock-based compensation (e.g., weighted-average strike prices, intrinsic value).
- Establish, document, and maintain rigid internal controls and SOX-compliant workflows around cap table modifications and board approvals.
Tax, Payroll & Compensation Integration
- Coordinate closely with the payroll team to ensure proper tax withholding and reporting for equity events (e.g., NSO exercises, ISO tracking, and RSU vesting).
- Prepare and file annual IRS equity tax forms, including Form 3921 and Form 3922.
- Track and calculate Deferred Tax Assets (DTAs) and related tax windfalls/shortfalls associated with stock-based compensation.
- Own broader compensation accounting tasks, including booking monthly standard payroll journal entries, bonus accruals, and 401(k) match reconciliations.
General Ledger & General Accounting Support
- Perform monthly reconciliations between Carta and the General Ledger for all equity-related accounts (Common Stock, APIC, Treasury Stock).
- Reconcile cash inflows from option exercises and cash outflows related to equity tax withholding wires.
- Provide regular tie-out support and general accounting preparation work for the core accounting team during month-end and year-end close.
- Additional Ad hoc GL projects and help as needed based on team’s bandwidth
OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE
- Experience: 3–5 years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 1–2 years of direct experience handling equity accounting or equity administration in a corporate environment.
- Systems Proficiency: Direct experience using equity management platforms (Carta highly preferred). Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (VLOOKUPs, Pivot Tables, data modeling) and experience working within mid-to-enterprise level ERP systems.
- Technical Skills: Strong foundational knowledge of US GAAP, specifically ASC 718 (Stock-Based Compensation). Familiarity with IRS regulations regarding equity compensation types (ISOs, NSOs, RSUs).
- Soft Skills:

- Collaboration: Ability to partner cross-functionally with HR, Payroll, Legal, and executive leadership.
