About the role
- We're accelerating our close to a standard 5-7 business day cycle while coordinating financial operations across a distributed team, so this role carries real ownership from day one.
- We're looking for someone who combines strong technical accounting expertise with a builder's mindset - someone who enjoys taking ownership and solving complex problems.
- The Accounting & Finance team is small, senior, and hands-on.
Responsibilities
- Own assigned balance sheet reconciliations and journal entries with accuracy and timeliness.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure transactions are recorded accurately and in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
- Own at least one full close cycle end-to-end, documenting the process, while identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and strengthen controls.
- Help improve and document accounting policies, close procedures, and internal controls, including materiality thresholds and expense limits.
- Compile PBC lists, support audit requests, and act as a primary operational point of contact for external auditors during our financial statement audit.
- Partner with FP&A and business stakeholders to improve financial reporting and operational insights, and coordinate monthly GL workflows with our distributed accounting team, reviewing their deliverables for accuracy and U.S. GAAP alignment.
- Serve as a trusted accounting partner across the organization, providing guidance on accounting impacts for new products, contracts, and business initiatives.
Requirements
- Develop a strong understanding of Clutch's business model, credit union client base, and month-end close process.
- Advanced proficiency in QuickBooks Online (or a comparable ERP) and Excel/Google Sheets (reconciliations, models, lookups).
- Experience with Rippling, Sequence HQ, or similar modern fintech accounting tooling.
Nice to have
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.
- CPA license (or active progress toward obtaining your CPA) strongly preferred.
- 3-6 years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 2 years leading or co-leading a full-cycle month-end close.
- Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP, including ASC 606 revenue recognition.
- Hands-on ownership of general ledger accounts, reconciliations, accruals, and month-end close.
- Experience working in a venture-backed, fast-paced startup environment where priorities evolve quickly.
- Strong attention to detail with the ability to balance accuracy and speed.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
Compensation
- Recommend and implement best practices to support a growth-stage business, including timely and accurate sales tax and annual tax reporting.
