About The Position

ElevenLabs is building its Finance function from the ground up, and as we scale toward a public-company-ready accounting infrastructure, the stakes are high. As our Technical Accountant, you will be the go-to resource for US GAAP guidance across the organisation – researching complex standards, drafting technical memos, and helping the business navigate new transactions, structures, and reporting requirements with clarity and confidence. This is a generalist technical accounting role. You will cover everything from equity and stock-based compensation to revenue recognition, leases, and emerging product structures – working directly with the Financial Controller, Legal, FP&A, and external auditors. The right candidate has done this before in a fast-moving, pre-IPO or recently public environment, and is ready to build the technical foundation that will carry ElevenLabs through its next stage.

Requirements

Strong working knowledge of US GAAP across a broad set of standards – ASC 606, ASC 718, ASC 842, ASC 805, ASC 360, and related areas.
Demonstrated experience researching, drafting, and defending technical accounting memos and position papers.
Experience building or contributing to an internal controls environment, ideally in a pre-IPO or public company context.
CPA, ACA, or ACCA qualification (active).
Ability to translate complex accounting positions into clear, actionable guidance for non-accounting stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

Prior experience at a pre-IPO or recently public technology company navigating S-1 readiness and PCAOB audit.
