About The Position

Robinhood's Technical Accounting team sits at the intersection of innovation and rigor — translating novel products and complex transactions into sound, defensible accounting positions. We're looking for a collaborative, analytically sharp problem-solver to join us as a Technical Accounting Manager supporting new products and strategic transactions. In this role, you'll evaluate emerging and often ambiguous fact patterns, form well-reasoned accounting conclusions, and help shape how new products and deals are structured from an accounting perspective. You'll work cross-functionally with Product, Legal, Controllership, Tax, Finance, Financial Reporting, Internal Controls, and our external auditors to ensure Robinhood's accounting keeps pace with its fast-evolving business. This role is based in our Menlo Park, CA; or New York, NY offices, with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week. At Robinhood, we believe in the power of in-person work to accelerate progress, spark innovation, and strengthen community. Our office experience is intentional, energizing, and designed to fully support high-performing teams.

• Evaluate emerging areas (e.g., crypto/digital assets, new revenue arrangements, and other frontier products) where authoritative guidance is still developing, applying sound judgment to reach and document defensible conclusions
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Legal, Tax, Finance, Financial Reporting, and other cross-functional teams to ensure accounting conclusions are integrated consistently across financial statements, disclosures, and controls
• Advise on accounting areas such as ASC 606 revenue recognition, ASC 350-60 digital assets, ASC 810 consolidation and VIE evaluation, and ASC 815 Derivatives
