About the Role

We’re looking for a detail-oriented Staff Accountant to join our Finance team in San Francisco. You’ll own the monthly close for inventory, hardware COGS, and fixed assets, and play a key supporting role in T&E management and subsidiary revenue accounting. This is a great fit for someone early in their career who wants to build deep cost accounting expertise at a fast-moving technology company serving the restaurant industry. We’ll provide full onboarding and training on the tools and systems we use.

Primary Responsibilities
  • Prepare and post monthly journal entries for inventory, hardware costs, and fixed assets, ensuring accuracy and proper support documentation

  • Own balance sheet reconciliations for assigned accounts, including hardware inventory, fixed assets, and related accruals

  • Perform monthly cost accounting analysis and reporting, including COGS variance analysis, inventory valuation, and fixed asset roll-forwards

  • Contribute to cost accounting dashboards and reporting used by finance leadership to surface trends and variances

  • Manage the end-to-end T&E accounting process, including reviewing expense submissions, reviewing journal entries, reconciling expense platform reports to the general ledger, and creating analyses for business owners

  • Support revenue recognition and journal entry preparation for smaller subsidiaries, ensuring alignment with company accounting policies

  • Assist with month-end and quarter-end close activities, partnering with FP&A and accounting operations to meet internal deadlines

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (supply chain, operations, revenue, AP) to resolve inventory discrepancies and improve accounting processes

  • Support internal and external audit requests by preparing schedules and documentation for assigned areas

Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

  • 2–4 years of accounting experience, preferably in a technology, hardware, or product-based company; public accounting experience is a plus

  • Working knowledge of cost accounting concepts, including COGS, inventory valuation, and fixed asset accounting

  • Experience preparing journal entries and balance sheet reconciliations in a mid-to-large ERP system

  • Comfort working with data and reports to support month-end close and variance analysis

  • Strong proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets; experience building and maintaining reconciliation templates

  • High attention to detail with the ability to manage competing deadlines during close

  • Clear written and verbal communication skills — able to summarize accounting issues for non-finance stakeholders

  • Willingness and desire to build automations using AI tools such as Gemini and/or Claude
