Senior Accountant

GlossGenius•New York, NY

6d•$115,000 - $140,000•Onsite

About The Position

GlossGenius is growing fast and the financial infrastructure needs to keep pace. As a Senior Accountant, you'll own core accounting operations: monthly close, reconciliations, AP and AR, expense management, and audit support. The expectation here goes beyond executing the core accounting functions. You'll be expected to identify the manual, repeatable parts of the job and eliminate them — through AI, automation, or cleaner process design. You will report to the Controller. You must be commutable to our NYC headquarters and will operate in an in-person environment. We default to being in-office 3–4 days per week with required attendance on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Requirements

4+ years of accounting experience, with a solid grasp of GAAP and foundational accounting principles; experience at high growth technology company is a plus
Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA is strongly preferred
Proven experience improving accounting workflows using AI or automation — not just adopted tools, but identified repeatable work, eliminated it, and redirected your time towards problems that actually require judgment
Comfortable in a general ledger system; experience with NetSuite or a comparable ERP is preferred
Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills; experience replacing spreadsheet-based workflows with automated solutions
Have a builder's instinct — you don't just flag inefficiencies, you propose and help implement the fix

Responsibilities

Execute a timely and accurate monthly close — journal entries, accruals, and account reconciliations across the general ledger — and actively look for ways to shorten the cycle over time
Own AP and AR end-to-end: process vendor invoices, manage payment runs, monitor AR aging, and ensure collections and records stay clean
Prepare and review reconciliations for bank accounts, credit cards, and key balance sheet accounts on a monthly basis
Review and process employee expense reports in accordance with company policy, ensuring proper coding and documentation
Support the annual financial audit by preparing schedules, organizing documentation, and working directly with external auditors
Build AI powered workflows to eliminate repeatable and manual work in accounting operations
Partner with Finance, People Ops, and other teams to ensure transactions are properly recorded and financial data stays reliable across the business
