Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market platform, enabling individuals to express views on real-world events by trading on outcomes across politics, economics, sports, culture, and current affairs.
• The company is growing fast, both in terms of volume ($21B traded in 2025) and adoption as an alternative news source.
• The ambition is to become a ubiquitous beacon of truth in global media.
• The finance team is small, serious, and building the infrastructure to support a company operating at global scale.
• The Senior Accounting Manager will own the close process, lead technical accounting, and build the systems and controls that will carry the company through the next phase of growth.
• The role requires bringing rigor and speed to financial reporting, establishing the controls and processes that a company of this scale requires, and being a genuine thought partner to the business.
• The hire matters because getting accounting right has real consequences, and sloppy close processes, weak controls, or gaps in technical accounting judgment can create risk for the company.
• The Senior Accounting Manager will work directly with cross-functional teams on new products, international expansion, and M&A activity.
• The role requires owning the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process end to end, including GL operations, journal entries, reconciliations, and balance sheet reviews, hitting deadlines consistently under US GAAP.
• The role requires researching and documenting technical accounting positions across complex areas, including revenue recognition, business combinations, and internal-use software.
• The role requires leading the financial reporting process, supporting external audits, and building the internal controls framework as the company scales.
• The role requires managing intercompany accounting and consolidated financials across domestic and international entities as the company expands globally.
• The role requires scoping and implementing accounting systems that improve speed, accuracy, and scalability, including ERP tools and automation.
• The role requires partnering with legal, product, and business development on new initiatives, advising on accounting implications from the start.
• The role requires defining and documenting accounting policies for crypto-native platform activity, a genuinely new area where the Senior Accounting Manager will be setting precedent rather than following playbooks.

🎯 Requirements

• Active CPA license required.
• 8 to 10 or more years of progressive accounting experience, with direct exposure to both high-growth private companies and public company environments.
• 3 or more years of Big 4 public accounting experience, strongly preferred.
• Deep technical GAAP knowledge with demonstrated ability to research complex accounting topics, write clear memos, and explain conclusions to a non-accounting audience.
• Experience leading a close process in a high-transaction-volume environment with a track record of hitting deadlines without sacrificing accuracy.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.
• Comfort working in modern finance tools. Familiarity with systems like Ramp, Brex, or a modern ERP is expected. Interest in learning new tools quickly is required.
• Strong Excel skills. You need to be able to build and own models, not just read them.
• (Plus) Direct experience with crypto accounting or digital asset platforms.
• (Plus) SQL skills or willingness to learn. We will teach you if you're close.
• (Plus) Experience with international accounting, multi-entity consolidations, or M&A transactions.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary & equity
• Unlimited PTO
• Full Health, Vision, & Dental coverage
• 401k match
• Hardware setup: new MacBook Pro, big display, & accessories
