Accountant, Reality Labs

Meta•Menlo Park, CA

1d•$91,000 - $133,000

About The Position

Reality Labs builds the hardware that’s redefining how people connect — AI glasses and VR devices shipping worldwide. Our Hardware Accounting team owns the numbers behind those products: how we value inventory, account for product cost, recognize returns, and stand behind every figure we report. We’re hiring an Accountant to join that team, with a particular focus on cost and inventory accounting. You’ll own recurring close deliverables for our consumer hardware business, apply U.S. GAAP to real product economics, and operate within a strong internal control environment. It’s a role with genuine scope early on: hardware accounting sits at the intersection of Finance, Engineering, and Operations, so you’ll spend as much time with cross-functional partners understanding what’s actually happening in the supply chain as you will in the ledger. We’re also rebuilding how this work gets done. We expect our accountants to look at a manual process and ask whether it needs to exist — then use AI and automation tooling to fix it.

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline
3+ years of accounting or finance experience in Big 4, tech, or a similar environment

Exposure to — or strong interest in — AI applications in accounting and finance, such as automating manual processes, intelligent data extraction, or predictive analytics
Highly collaborative, with excellent communication skills and the ability to explain an accounting outcome to a non-accounting partner in their own language
Self-starter with strong attention to detail who can still hold the big picture
Eager to learn, grow, and take on increasing responsibility
C.P.A. or equivalent (or actively pursuing)
