Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Clutch is hiring a Senior Accountant to own our month-end close from start to finish, partnering closely with our Accounting Manager to build a close that’s fast, clean, and audit-ready.
• This is not a support role: you drive the process, identify gaps, and build the documentation and controls that let us scale.
• 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.
• As a Senior Accountant, you’ll report directly to the Accounting Manager and act as the team’s hands-on execution partner, building the documentation and controls that let accounting scale alongside the business.
• If you’re excited about building in a fast-moving environment, thrive on accountability, and want to help shape the future of the finance function, we’d love to meet you.
• Within 3 months, you will:
• Develop a strong understanding of Clutch’s business model, credit union client base, and month-end close process.
• Own assigned balance sheet reconciliations and journal entries with accuracy and timeliness.
• Become proficient in QuickBooks Online and our broader financial stack, including our Rippling integration.
• 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.
• Within 6 months, you will:
• Take ownership of key general ledger areas, including the chart of accounts, prepaid asset schedules, and fixed asset/depreciation registers.
• Assist with technical accounting analyses, including revenue recognition under ASC 606.
• 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.
• Within 9 months, you will:
• Serve as a trusted accounting partner across the organization, providing guidance on accounting impacts for new products, contracts, and business initiatives.
• Lead process improvement projects that increase automation, scalability, and close speed.
• Recommend and implement best practices to support a growth-stage business, including timely and accurate sales tax and annual tax reporting.
• Mentor junior team members and contribute to building a high-performing accounting function prepared for continued growth.

🎯 Requirements

• Must-haves:
• 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.
• Ability to communicate accounting concepts clearly to both finance and non-finance partners.
• A proactive mindset. You identify issues before they become problems and enjoy improving how work gets done.
• Experience supporting a financial statement audit end-to-end, including PBC ownership and direct auditor interaction.
• Advanced proficiency in QuickBooks Online (or a comparable ERP) and Excel/Google Sheets (reconciliations, models, lookups).
• Nice-to-haves:
• Public accounting experience (Big 4 or regional firm).
• Experience with Rippling, Sequence HQ, or similar modern fintech accounting tooling.
• Exposure to lending, credit, or regulated financial services.
• Familiarity with financial systems integrations and accounting automation tools.
• Experience working in a company that has successfully scaled through multiple funding rounds.
• Experience working with stock compensation, equity accounting, or other startup-specific accounting topics.

• Unforgettable Off-Sites: Twice a year, bond with colleagues in exciting destinations, fostering teamwork and fresh ideas.
• Paid Time Off: Enjoy flexible PTO days yearly for relaxation and rejuvenation.
• Stock Options: Joining us means having a stake in our success, so you'll receive stock options as part of your compensation package.
