Job Description:

We are seeking a Senior Accountant with strong technical and operational accounting experience to play a key role in building and scaling our finance function. This individual will oversee critical components of the month-end close, drive improvements across core accounting processes, maintain accuracy of the general ledger, and support cross-functional initiatives across a fast-growing robotics organization. The ideal candidate has a solid understanding of GAAP, strong reconciliation and close experience, the ability to independently resolve complex issues, and the confidence to own accounting processes end-to-end. This is a high-impact role within a small but rapidly scaling team—perfect for someone who thrives in a hands-on, fast-paced environment.

Drive operational excellence through documenting, strengthening, and implementing internal controls
Prepare supporting schedules and manage deliverables for external financial audits
Support federal, state, and local compliance requirements including tax filings, business licenses, and regulatory reporting
Conduct technical accounting research and prepare documentation on new or complex transactions
Partner closely with HR, Supply Chain, Engineering, and external vendors to ensure accurate, timely financial operations
Identify inefficiencies and propose process or systems improvements as we scale our financial infrastructure
Serve as a subject matter expert for AP processes, ERP workflows, and general accounting procedures
Help mentor junior team members as the finance function grows

Requirements:

5–7+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally in a dynamic or high-growth environment
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
CPA preferred
Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP and internal control principles
Advanced reconciliation, month-end close, and journal entry experience
Proven AP and broader accounting operational experience (not AP-only)

High proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets and modern accounting systems/ERPs (NetSuite, RAMP, Stampli, etc.)
Ability to manage competing priorities, meet deadlines, and collaborate cross-functionally
Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills
Detail-oriented with a proactive, problem-solving mindset
Startup or hardware experience a plus

Nice to have:

Big 4 public accounting experience and/or manufacturing industry exposure
Experience supporting or leading systems implementations
