Job Description

Senior Accountant managing operating expenses for Prefect’s Python orchestration and MCP platforms. Owning AP, T&E, budgeting, month-end close, and accounting process automation.

Responsibilities:

  • Own budget vs. actuals reporting, partnering directly with department leads to explain variances and keep them informed of their spend.
  • Manage the full operating expense cycle: vendor bill payments (AP), the corporate card program, and employee travel & expense reimbursements.
  • Prepare journal entries, accruals, and balance sheet reconciliations for opex accounts as part of month-end close, consistent with GAAP.
  • Assist with federal and state reporting requirements and tax filings, including corporate tax returns, sales tax registrations and filings, and 1099s.
  • Partner with department heads to improve how they track and forecast their own budgets.
  • Identify and drive automation and process improvements across AP, T&E, and close, using tools like Ramp, Navan, and Rillet.
  • Assist with ad hoc requests and projects, such as system automations, process improvements and researching technical accounting topics.
  • Report to the Senior Director of Finance.

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally at a fast-growing software or tech startup.
  • Hands-on ownership of AP, corporate card programs, and/or T&E processes — not just a supporting role on someone else's.
  • Experience with modern finance tools like Ramp, Stripe, and Navan.
  • Strong Excel/spreadsheet skills, including building and maintaining budget vs. actuals models.
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • CPA or actively working toward one (nice-to-have).
  • Experience with Rillet (nice-to-have).
  • Familiarity with BI tools like Looker (nice-to-have).
  • Currently authorized to work in the United States of America.

Benefits:

  • Remote-first team with flexible-first culture
  • Equity Stock Options
  • 401(k) with 5% company match (vests immediately!)
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Medical, Dental and Vision insurance
  • Generous Parental Leave
  • Life Insurance and Disability benefits
  • $800/month remote work stipend
