Senior Accountant 🔥


We're looking for a Staff Accountant to help evolve our finance & accounting department by taking ownership of key functional areas including payment processing, journal entries, tax and financial audit assistance, and reporting. This is one of the first internal roles in the data.world Finance and Accounting department, so there will be lots of room to establish systems and processes, and get exposure to a wide variety of startup SaaS business functions. The work completed will be core to supporting our company in our next phase of fast-paced growth in 2022, and there is a lot of room for growth within this new department.

This role is a balance of understanding key finance/accounting concepts while being a self-starter who is excited about owning areas broader than traditional finance/accounting roles at larger companies. We're looking for someone who is able to effectively communicate and collaborate with others, take ownership of key accounting functions, and is passionate about finding the most efficient way to execute on priorities.

At data.world, you will:

  • Own essential accounting functions such as the Order to Cash and Procure to Pay processes 
  • Prepare journal entries, reconciliations, and BvA analysis during month-end close
  • Develop and maintain documentation (narratives, flow charts) surrounding our current business processes and controls
  • Work closely with our accounting firm - both the audit and tax side as we go through the annual financial statement audit and relevant tax filings.
  • Collaborate with Legal & HR on areas requiring coordination around employment taxes, state taxes, and areas where we have state nexus.
  • Assist team members with ad-hoc financial analysis and reports
  • Participate in other projects and duties as assigned

We'd love to see:

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting
  • 2+ years of experience in accounting, finance, or related consulting fields
  • Comfort working in G Suite as well as in the Microsoft Suite, especially Excel
  • Thorough understanding of GAAP financial statements and reporting
  • Strong interpersonal skills and experience interfacing with others internally and externally from the company
  • Good communication and presentation skills with the ability to explain concepts in a clear, concise, and compelling way
  • An appetite to try new things -- you're curious and excited to improve your process, and always looking to learn

Big pluses include:

  • Master's degree in Accounting
  • “Big 4” accounting firm experience
  • Experience with SaaS businesses
  • Exposure to ASC 606

Perks and benefits:

  • Competitive compensation with a generous bonus program
  • Fully paid health, vision, and dental insurance premiums for your entire family
  • Company-paid life insurance, short and long-term disability insurance, and legal coverage
  • Remote-forward, super flexible, casual, and enjoyable environment with open PTO
  • Charitable donation matching and community philanthropy opportunities
  • Wellness programs catered to individual needs
  • Quarterly headquarters events - all employees welcome
  • An awesome group of smart and determined coworkers, including a tight-knit team of startup veterans with integrity, passion, and senses of humor
  • Your own Sparkletar owl character - have you seen them yet?

If you have the exceptional combination of skills and qualities that we are looking for, then we're excited to meet you!
