About The Position

This is a hands-on, generalist accounting role at a fast-scaling AI-hardware company, and our first dedicated accounting hire. Reporting to the Controller, you will work across the full accounting cycle — from journal entries to reconciliations and reporting schedules.

It suits someone who wants range and wants to see how a complete accounting function gets built. The ideal candidate combines solid accounting fundamentals with a builder’s mindset.

Strong Excel skills and comfort reconciling high transaction volume accurately
Detail-oriented and organized, with ownership of your close deadlines
Practical interest in applying AI and automation to accounting work
Work authorization is required at start; we provide immigration support to secure or transfer status.
