Senior Accountant, Lease Accounting

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.

We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.

We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services.

If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe.

As the Senior Accountant, Lease Accounting, you’ll own lease accounting operations at Crusoe from end to end. Our lease portfolio reflects a vertically integrated data center business: land, powered shell, build-to-suit, colocation, ground leases, equipment, and energy-related arrangements. Very few look alike, and no template will do the work for you. You’ll read each agreement, understand the deal behind it, work out how the terms translate under ASC 842, and build a repeatable monthly process around it.

In a typical month, you’ll abstract new leases and process modifications in LeaseQuery, post lease journal entries, reconcile LeaseQuery activity to the general ledger and AP, and partner with Legal, Real Estate, Data Center Development, Procurement, FP&A, and Tax to know about new deals and amendments before they are signed. You’ll thrive in this role if you’re detail-oriented, energized by non-standard problems, and driven to make the process better every month. You’ll also support quarterly disclosures, SOX controls, and external audit requests, with guidance from Technical Accounting on judgment-heavy items.
