[Hiring] Senior Accountant @Prefect

Role Description

Reporting to Justin, our Senior Director of Finance, you’ll take ownership of operating expense accounting for Prefect. This includes:

• Assessing and recording monthly accruals
• Maintaining the cash feed and ensuring transactions are accurately captured
• Overseeing budget vs. actuals, T&E, vendor bill payments, and corporate card programs

You’ll be the person department leads come to when they want to understand what they’ve spent and what they have left, ensuring vendors and employees get paid accurately and on time. It’s a hands-on role with a lot of ownership, cross-functional visibility, and room to make the work you own more efficient as the company grows.

You’ve done this before at a software or tech startup, you’re comfortable being the primary owner of a process rather than one of several hands on it, and you’re comfortable working in a modern finance stack like Ramp, Navan, and Stripe.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally at a fast-growing software or tech startup
• Hands-on ownership of AP, corporate card programs, and/or T&E processes — not just a supporting role on someone else's

• Strong Excel/spreadsheet skills, including building and maintaining budget vs. actuals models
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

Requirements

• CPA or actively working toward one (nice-to-have)
• Experience with Rillet (nice-to-have)
