Role Summary

We’re hiring a hands-on Senior Accountant to own the full accounting function and monthly close in a fast-growing e-commerce business. This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in a lean environment, understands high-volume transaction flows, and can build scalable, automated processes across accounting, tax, and systems.

You’ll work directly with the CFO and play a key role in preparing the company for increased transaction complexity, including global payment flows, multi-currency settlements, indirect tax compliance, and evolving revenue recognition requirements as the business scales.

What You’ll Do

Core Accounting

•     Own the end-to-end monthly close, including journal entries, accruals, and reconciliations.

•     Maintain accurate financials in QuickBooks in accordance with GAAP.

•     Prepare and review all accounting entries across the business.

•     Ensure a clean, audit-ready balance sheet and P&L.

Payments & Reconciliations

•     Manage and reconcile Stripe and payment platform activity.

•     Build scalable processes for high-volume transaction reconciliation.

•     Prepare for increasing complexity across refunds, disputes, and chargebacks.

•     Manage reconciliations across payment processors, settlement accounts, reserves, refunds, chargebacks, and international payment flows.

•     Develop scalable controls and reconciliation processes for high-volume consumer transactions.

Revenue & Tax

•     Apply proper revenue recognition across multiple revenue streams.

•     Support the implementation and ongoing management of sales tax and VAT.

•     Partner with external advisors and tools to ensure compliance as the business scales.

•     Account for complex transaction flows involving payment intermediaries, international customers, and multiple jurisdictions.

•     Support compliance with sales tax, VAT, GST, and other indirect tax requirements.

Automation & Systems

•     Identify and implement automation opportunities across accounting workflows.

•     Improve and maintain integrations between Stripe, QuickBooks, and other systems.

•     Leverage and introduce AI tools to streamline reconciliations, transaction classification, the close process, and reporting workflows

Process Building

•     Design and document scalable accounting processes and controls.

•     Reduce manual work and improve efficiency over time.

•     Anticipate future needs as transaction volume and complexity grow.


Requirements

What We’re Looking For

•     4–7+ years of accounting experience.

•     Strong ownership of month-end close and accrual accounting.

•      Experience in e-commerce, SaaS, digital commerce, marketplaces, subscription businesses, or other high-volume transaction environments.

•     Hands-on experience with QuickBooks and Stripe (or similar platforms).

•     Familiarity with sales tax and/or VAT (implementation experience a plus).

•     Demonstrated ability to build or improve processes, not just maintain them.

•     Comfort operating independently and remotely in accounting.

•     Experience reconciling payment processor activity, settlement reports, refunds, disputes, reserves, and chargebacks.

•     Understanding of revenue recognition and accounting for complex transaction flows.

•     Familiarity with multi-currency transactions and indirect tax requirements (sales tax, VAT, GST).

Nice to Have

•     CPA (or working toward it).

•      Experience supporting businesses with international transaction flows, multi-currency settlements, payment processor integrations, and indirect tax compliance.

•     Experience working in environments with complex payment ecosystems involving refunds, chargebacks, customer remittances, and global tax obligations.

•     Experience implementing tax tools such as Avalara or TaxJar.

•     Experience implementing automation and AI tools (e.g., workflow automation, integrations).

What Success Looks Like

•     Month-end close is accurate, timely, and repeatable.

•     Stripe and bank reconciliations are clean and scalable despite high volume.

•     Sales tax and VAT are implemented and running smoothly.

•     Manual processes are reduced through automation and AI tools.

•     Accounting infrastructure is prepared to support global transaction volumes, payment processor integrations, indirect tax compliance, and scalable revenue accounting processes.

Why This Role

•     Full ownership of accounting with direct CFO exposure.

•     The opportunity to build systems the right way early.

•     A high-impact role as the business scales in volume and complexity.
