About the role

  • You're a good fit for this role if you've thought deeply about how your current work might look different in just a few years time and want to help usher in this transformation.
  • This requires a clear conception of the fundamentals of accounting, an ability to quickly understand disparate workflows, and the vision to redefine the current process.

Responsibilities

  • You'll work closely with our engineering and design teams to build out new features and capabilities, rigorously think through edge cases, and prioritize diligently to ship what matters.
  • You'll listen to users and translate their needs into workflows that help them do their best work with AI-while also drawing on your own knowledge and experience to anticipate requirements and proactively shape the product.
  • You'll partner with the ML team to develop agent capabilities, learn new things quickly (e.g., reading and pushing code), and practice hands-on prompt engineering-defining rules and behaviors for the LLM to deliver reliable outcomes.
  • Exceptional attention to detail; delivers accurate, high-quality work.
  • Proactive, high-energy presence; takes ownership and drives outcomes.
  • Strong prioritization skills; able to manage a growing to-do list and consistently focus on the highest-impact tasks to work efficiently.
  • Demonstrated interest in mentorship-eager to learn from and support teammates.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting.
  • 10 years in audit and/or tax at a top public accounting firm
  • Experience auditing financial statements end-to-end (cash through operating expenses), including financial statement preparation.

  • One of the following: CPA license or Master's degree in Accounting

Benefits

  • Parental Leave
  • Premium Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage; Life Insurance; and 6 coaching & 6 therapy sessions through Spring Health.
  • Unlimited PTO + 12 paid company holidays.

Company info

  • Eager to lay groundwork both technically and culturally as we rapidly scale.
  • Accounting post-Basis looks different.
  • You will be part of a specialized team that will lead the charge into this new reality by building our core product.
  • While you won't be doing accounting for clients in this role, you will work closely with both Basis' customers and our engineering team to build a product which will transform accounting workflows.
