Steno is growing! We’re looking for a Staff Accountant to join our winning team, which is revolutionizing the court reporting industry every single day. We’re a diverse team from all over the country (and beyond), and we’re crazy about redefining the boundaries of an outdated industry.

• Prepare audit schedules and documentation, assist with state and local tax filings, and help maintain adherence to internal controls and accounting policies.
• Generate recurring and ad hoc financial reports and analyses to support strategic decision-making.
• Proactively research and resolve accounting issues, manage assigned areas independently, and identify opportunities to improve processes or controls.

• You have 2–4 years of experience in public accounting or corporate accounting.
• You have a strong understanding of U.S. GAAP and core accounting principles.
• You are highly proficient in Excel or Google Sheets, including pivot tables and advanced formulas (VLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH).

• You are extremely detail-oriented, organized, and capable of managing multiple priorities.
• You communicate clearly and effectively, both verbally and in writing.
