We’re growing quickly, and we’re looking for a self-driven and collaborative Staff Accountant to join our team and make a big impact.

As a staff accountant, you’ll work closely with our Accounting Manager to support key financial processes, ensure accurate reporting, and optimize day-to-day accounting operations, including A/P, expense reimbursement, vendor management, and aiding in month-end close.

  • Oversee cash application and monthly cash reconciliations
  • Assist in expense reimbursement processing and ensure proper recording and reconciliation
  • Identify opportunities for process improvement and efficiency
  • Work cross-departmentally to troubleshoot and provide guidance when requested
  • Participate in corporate compliance functions including financial statement audit, tax and other items as needed

How success will be measured in this role:

  • Timeliness and accuracy of AP processing, including invoice entry, coding, and payment execution
  • Accurate and timely cash application, ensuring all payments are matched correctly and reconciled each month
  • Contribution to a smooth and efficient month-end close process, meeting internal deadlines and producing reliable financial data
  • Demonstrated attention to detail and ability to identify and correct discrepancies proactively

If the details below describe you, you could be a great fit for this role:

  • 2+ years of accounting experience, including at least 1 year in a public accounting role
  • 1 year of operational accounting experience, such as accounts payable, cash application, or general ledger accounting
  • Bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance
  • On track to be CPA certified strongly preferred 
  • Experience working with NetSuite (or comparable ERP systems) and accounts payable platforms
  • Exposure to vendor management and cash management
  • Self-motivated and able to work under pressure, dependable with deliverables and deadlines
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and high level of attention to detail
  • SaaS or Technology industry experience is strongly preferred

Interview Overview 

Below you'll find an outline of the interview plan for this role. Please note that this is what we expect the process to look like; we may ask you for supplemental information or require an additional step before making a final decision.

  • 30 min interview with a member of our Talent Team
  • A 1 hour zoom interview with the hiring manager

Salary

In the US, the base salary for this role is between $75,000-80,000+, depending on skills and experience. Total compensation for this role consists of base salary and a quarterly bonus plan.. We take a geo-neutral approach to compensation within the US, meaning that we pay based on job function and level, not location. For all other countries, we have competitive pay bands based on market standards.

Individual compensation decisions are based on a number of factors, including experience level, skillset, and balancing internal equity relative to peers at the company. We expect the majority of the candidates who are offered roles at our company to fall healthily throughout the range based on these factors. We recognize that the person we hire may be less experienced (or more senior) than this job description as posted. If that ends up being the case, the updated salary range will be communicated with you as a candidate.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
