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.

• 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

• 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

Our team works across the following platforms. Prior experience with any of these is a bonus, not expected — we’ll get you up to speed.
