About the team
Alloy is scaling rapidly and we’re looking for a highly motivated Accounting Associate to join our accounting team. You will play a critical role in supporting the accounting team in the month-end close process and year-end audit, while also helping to develop and implement the key processes and systems needed to scale our billing and revenue operations as the business grows. We’re looking for a team player, resourceful problem solver, and analytical thinker who is not afraid to get their hands dirty — someone who sees a broken process and fixes it, and who brings real ownership to everything they touch.

Requirements

• Reporting to the Controller, we’re looking for someone with 5+ years of accounting experience, with hands-on exposure to billings and order-to-cash in the software or technology industry.
• You hold a bachelor’s degree in accounting, have a solid grasp of US GAAP including the fundamentals of revenue accounting, and have meaningfully contributed to a month-end close cycle.
• You’ve operated as an accounting associate or accounting specialist at a startup or high-growth company — meaning you know what it’s like to work where the playbook is still being written, and you’ve stepped up anyway.
• You’re proficient in NetSuite and Salesforce, and comfortable across the Microsoft Office Suite — including intermediate-to-advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, SUMIFs).
• You bring strong accountability, acute attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and solve complex problems without waiting to be told what to do.
• You communicate clearly with internal business partners at all levels, and you’re as comfortable in the weeds of a reconciliation as you are presenting a summary to leadership.
• Above all, we want someone with a real hunger to learn and grow — new things aren’t scary for you, they’re exciting.
• You take pride in your work, treat accuracy like a professional obligation, and bring genuine ownership to every process you touch.

Responsibilities

• Own the full-cycle accounts receivable process — from monthly billings and issuing customer invoices to following up on collections, resolving disputes, and applying cash
• Review customer contracts and order forms to ensure accurate billing setup in accordance with agreed terms, and maintain deferred revenue schedules in compliance with ASC 606
• Participate in month-end close processes, including posting journal entries related to AR, deferred revenue, customer write-offs, and bad debt reserves
• Monitor accounts receivable aging and proactively manage collections, including customer outreach, escalations, and follow-ups to maintain healthy cash conversion
• Investigate and resolve billing and payment discrepancies, including short pays, disputes, and unapplied cash, and serve as the primary point of contact for internal and external billing inquiries
• Complete balance sheet and account reconciliations, confirming the validity of information across NetSuite, Salesforce, and other systems of record
• Support cash collections forecasting by analyzing AR trends and expected payment timing, and contribute to management reporting on DSO and revenue metrics
• Develop robust documentation of internal controls and processes, ensuring they meet the requirements of external auditors, and assist with audit requests and ad hoc projects
• Continually improve business processes through thoughtful analysis and by researching best practices — and assist in the planning and implementation of key financial software solutions, including revenue management tools

Benefits

• Unlimited PTO and flexible work policy
• Employee stock options
• Medical, dental, vision plans with HSA (monthly employer contribution) and FSA options
• 401k with 100% match up to 4% of annual employee compensation
• Eligible new parents receive 16 weeks of paid parental leave
• Home office stipend for new employees
• Annual Learning & Development annual stipend
• Well-being benefits include access to ClassPass, OneMedical, UrbanSitter, and Spring Health

Tasty lunches catered from a variety of local restaurants and frequent employee-organized cultural events contribute to our positive office energy. On Monday/Friday most employees Zoom into work from home while some take advantage of the quieter office.
