[Hiring] Senior Accountant @Posit

Role Description

We’re looking for a Senior Accountant to join the team, reporting to an Accounting Manager and working closely with FP&A, Tax, Payroll, AP/AR, Engineering/IT, and our external auditors.

YOUR IMPACT: Why this role exists: to keep Posit’s books accurate, timely, and audit-ready — and to raise the standard for how the Accounting team works. You are singularly responsible for:

• Prepare accurate, timely financial statements, reconciliation schedules, and supporting analysis (flux, variance, and trend) for your assigned areas.
• Serve as the subject matter expert for those areas, including researching and documenting the technical accounting positions behind complex or non-routine transactions.
• Lead accounting projects and system changes from plan through delivery.
• Identify and implement improvements to accounting practices, including automation that delivers data faster and reduces risk across teams.
• Own internal controls for your areas; identify process or control deficiencies, design and implement solutions, and raise the standard for how the team works.
• Collaborate well with others, stay positive under pressure, welcome feedback, and contribute to the department’s shared goals.

Qualifications

• Has independently run month-end close and prepared financial statements for multiple areas, including complex or non-routine transactions, with limited review.
• Hands-on NetSuite experience (or a related ERP): journal entries, reconciliations, saved searches, and running the close in the system.
• Advanced Excel skills, including complex formulas (lookups, nested logic, pivots, and array formulas) for reconciliations and analysis.
• Day-to-day experience using an AI tool for analysis, automation, or documentation, with sound judgment in validating its output.
• Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and the ability to explain accounting decisions clearly, with the reasoning behind them.
• Understanding of people, process, and system controls, and a track record of leading a project or process improvement.

Requirements

• Extending NetSuite and our AI tooling (e.g., saved searches, workflows, scripting) to provide data faster and mitigate risk.
• Experience with new functional areas and technologies adjacent to accounting (e.g., revenue, billing, or subledger systems).
• Familiarity with our entity structure, close calendar, policies, and the systems that connect Accounting to the rest of the business — or the curiosity to learn them quickly.
• Large-project planning: creating major project plans, estimating well, and explaining your confidence in delivery.

Benefits

• 100% of medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums are covered for employees and their families.
• Fertility and gender-affirming healthcare is included in all of our plans.
• Supplemental mental health and wellness benefits are available via Ginger.
• Gender-neutral paid parental leave policy covers all new parents, including foster and adoptive parents.
• All full-time employees are eligible for 401k enrollment starting on day one.
• After six months of employment, Posit provides a substantial yearly match to employee 401K contributions.
• An annual profit-sharing bonus for employees recognizes our team’s contributions to company performance.
• We are a 100% distributed team, with options for coworking space rental reimbursement.
• Our Lifestyle Savings Account offers an initial deposit of $1800 and additional quarterly stipends.
• Flexible environment with a generous vacation policy that encourages a minimum of four weeks PTO per year plus 15 paid company holidays.
