Senior GL Accountant

This is a consumer fintech startup, and you will be working with serial entrepreneurs who have built strong consumer brands and innovative products. We value extreme ownership, clear communication, a strong sense of craftsmanship, and the desire to create lasting work and work relationships. Yes, you can build an exciting business AND have real-life real-customer impact.

We're looking for a hands-on Senior GL Accountant to own key parts of our general ledger, from day-to-day transactions through month-end close. You'll be responsible for Accrued Liabilities, Cash, Investments, Fixed Assets, and Compensation & Benefits. This role suits someone who enjoys running the work day to day and also wants to build scalable, well-controlled processes as Kikoff grows. You'll report to the US Controller.

•   Own close tasks for your areas: journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, supporting schedules, and expense allocations.
•   Prepare monthly flux and variance analysis, explaining results in the context of the business.
•   Design, document, and run SOX 404 key controls for P2P, payroll, equity, fixed assets, and cash. Maintain process narratives and risk control matrices (RCMs).
•   Prepare audit support and respond to auditor requests for your areas.
•   Lead or support finance system implementations and enhancements, including requirements gathering, configuration, data migration, testing, and rollout.
•   Recommend policy updates where needed. Find manual work and automate it, including with AI tools, partnering with FP&A and teams across the company.
•   Support the Controller on ad hoc projects.

•   Record and reconcile daily and monthly cash activity across all bank accounts in NetSuite.
•   Account for investments, including purchases, maturities, interest income, and fair value or amortized cost adjustments. Reconcile to custodian statements.
•   Support cash forecasting and treasury reporting as needed.

•   Maintain the accruals process, working with budget owners to capture unbilled expenses, and review accruals for completeness.
•   Prepare and maintain prepaid expense and accrual schedules.

•   Maintain the fixed asset register, including additions, disposals, and depreciation.
•   Own accounting for internally developed software under ASC 350-40. Work with Engineering to identify capitalizable projects and track eligible labor and third-party costs. Determine when projects are placed in service, and record amortization and any impairment.

•   4+ years of accounting experience, ideally a mix of public accounting and in-house roles at a fast-paced or high-growth company. CPA or CPA candidate preferred.
•   Strong operational background, with hands-on experience booking payroll and cash, not just reviewing them.
•   SOX 404 experience strongly preferred, including designing, documenting, and running internal controls.
•   Experience implementing or optimizing finance systems (e.g., NetSuite, Ramp, Brex, Carta, or similar), from requirements and configuration through testing and go-live, is a plus.
•   Solid understanding of U.S. GAAP, especially accruals, fixed assets, internally developed software (ASC 350-40), stock-based compensation (ASC 718), and investments.
•   Experience with NetSuite, Ramp, Brex, and Carta is a plus.
•   Proven track record of building scalable, efficient, well-controlled processes.
•   Detail-oriented, highly organized, and able to manage competing priorities independently.
•   Clear written and verbal communicator who works well with non-finance partners.
•   Curious about AI tools and eager to use them to work smarter.
