About The Position

Flexcar is completely reimagining car ownership. We offer the world’s first month-to-month car lease, with insurance and maintenance included. Members can swap cars anytime as their needs change, without the commitment or hassle of traditional car ownership. By combining operational expertise with technology, data, and AI, we’re transforming every aspect of the customer journey and delivering a more affordable, flexible, and hassle-free alternative to buying or leasing. About the Role We're building out our US accounting presence in Boston and looking for a Senior Accountant to be our first accounting hire in the US outside of the Controller. This is a great opportunity for an early-career accountant to grow quickly: you'll get hands-on exposure to month-end close, audit support, and the process-building work that goes into scaling an accounting function, working closely with and learning directly from the Controller.
