[Hiring] Senior Accountant @Thanks

Role Description

Own the financial engine behind our two-sided ads marketplace. At Thanks, we’re building a customer-first monetization platform that delivers growth without compromise - for advertisers, publishers, and consumers. We power growth for the world’s leading brands, delivering tens of millions of high-value “thanks” moments every month.

We’re hiring a Senior Accountant to own the day-to-day financial operations of the business, with a particular focus on revenue, billing, and financial accuracy. This is a foundational role. You’ll manage how money moves through a complex, two-sided marketplace – across advertisers, affiliate platforms, and partners – ensuring everything is accurate, reconciled, and on time.

You’ll work closely with our Fractional CFO, but operate independently day-to-day. You’ll bring structure, reliability, and clarity to a critical part of the business.

What you’ll do

• Own revenue, billing, and reconciliation: Manage end-to-end billing across advertisers and partners – including invoicing, payouts, and reconciliation across affiliate platforms (e.g. Impact, Rakuten). Ensure revenue is accurate, traceable, and complete.
• Run clean, reliable financial operations: Own accounts payable and expense management. Ensure invoices are captured, approved, and paid on time. Build simple, effective processes that provide visibility and eliminate errors.
• Support month-end close and reporting: Maintain clean, current books and support the monthly close. Partner with the Fractional CFO to deliver clear, reliable reporting and investor-ready outputs.
• Own US payroll and compliance hygiene: Manage payroll via Rippling and ensure core US tax and compliance obligations are handled correctly. Keep processes clean, documented, and under control.
• Improve systems and reduce manual work: Identify and implement improvements across the finance stack. Reduce manual inputs, streamline workflows, and build processes that scale.
• Operate as a problem-solver: Work through ambiguity, resolve discrepancies, and keep things moving without waiting for perfect inputs.

Qualifications

• 3–6 years’ experience in accounting or finance, with strong foundational training
• Degree-qualified in accounting, finance, or similar
• Experience handling revenue, billing, invoicing, or reconciliation
• Experience operating in fast-moving, ambiguous or unstructured environments (startup, scaleup, or consulting)
• Comfortable working with multi-party or performance-based revenue flows (e.g. marketplaces, affiliate, adtech, fintech)
• Strong grasp of core accounting processes (AP, AR, month-end close)
• Comfortable owning processes end-to-end and being accountable for outcomes
• High attention to detail with a focus on accuracy and completeness
• Ability to identify issues, work through ambiguity, and resolve discrepancies independently
• Track record of improving processes and reducing manual work
• Experience with accounting tools such as Xero, QuickBooks, or similar
• Clear and direct communicator

Requirements

• Experience with affiliate platforms (e.g. Impact, Rakuten, CJ, Partnerize)
• Exposure to multi-entity or multi-currency environments
• Background in adtech, marketplaces, or performance-based revenue models
• Experience in an early-stage startup environment

Location & Working Style

• Strong preference for US West Coast-based candidates to enable effective collaboration across time zones
• Open to other US locations for exceptional candidates
• Remote-first, with a high degree of trust and ownership

Benefits

• Competitive salary plus ESOP, with scope to grow your role as the company grows
• Remote-first US team with clear expectations and high trust

Why Thanks?

What makes this role different:

• Own a critical part of the business: Revenue, billing, and cash flow are core to how we operate. You’ll own how this works day-to-day.
• Operate with autonomy and support: Work independently day-to-day, with guidance from an experienced Fractional CFO.
• Foundational role with real impact: You’re building a system that scales.
• High standards, low ego: We operate with urgency, clarity, and empathy.
• We’re building something deliberately - not copying what already exists. If you’re someone who takes ownership, solves problems, and cares about getting the details right, we’d love to hear from you.
