About the Role The Senior Accountant is a hands-on accountant who supervises the accounts payable and accounts receivable clerk, with three core responsibilities of equal weight: (1) general ledger (GL) accounting and the monthly close, including rental revenue accounting; (2) accounts payable (AP), accounts receivable (AR), and purchasing operations; and (3) optimizing and automating the work in both areas with AI tools, including Claude Cowork and AI agents. The role also supports financial planning and analysis (FP&A) and other accounting work as needed. It reports directly to the Senior Manager, Accounting and works cross-functionally with Operations, Customer Care, Business Development, and senior leadership. We are a lean team in a fast-moving business. Processes that were sufficient yesterday may need to be rebuilt tomorrow. We are looking for someone who pairs accounting rigor and strong Excel modeling with practical fluency in artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including Claude Cowork and AI agents, and who will use them to automate and accelerate recurring work. Human review is required on every work product, whether prepared by hand or with AI assistance, and the preparer remains accountable for its accuracy. Core Responsibilities (Required) General Ledger Accounting and Close Own the monthly close: accruals, prepaids, journal entries, account reconciliations, and flux analysis. Prepare monthly financial statements and supporting schedules, and resolve reconciling items before close. Maintain close checklists and documentation, and automate recurring close tasks where practical.

Deferred revenue aging: age the deferred balance by origination and by expected earning period, and resolve stale or unsupported items. Apply Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606 and ASC 842 to consumer and corporate rentals and prepaid contracts. Maintain the workbook’s documentation and controls and automate its refresh and checks where practical. Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Purchasing Supervision: assign and prioritize the AP and AR clerk’s daily work, review and approve the clerk’s output, and provide training and feedback. Accounts payable: administer procure-to-pay, including invoice intake and coding guidelines, approval workflows in Bill.com, weekly payment runs, and payment within terms. Purchasing: maintain the purchase order (PO) register and numbering, prepare and issue POs, load approved POs into the accounting system, and support bill-to-PO matching in the approval workflow.
