We are looking for a Senior Accountant who will take meaningful ownership of month-end close workstreams and help us move toward a 5‑day month-end close through better reconciliations, tighter controls, and relentless process improvement.

What you will be working on

Run close workstreams end-to-end (multi-entity)

• Own month-end close deliverables for assigned areas/entities: journal entries, reconciliations, schedules, and variance explanations.
• Maintain audit-ready working papers and clear support for every number (no “mystery balances”).

Bank & cash reconciliations (scale + rigor)

• Own bank and cash reconciliations across 20+ bank/payment accounts (multi-entity, multi-currency).
• Drive open items to resolution quickly; prevent recurring recon breaks through root-cause fixes.
• Work with Brandon whose favorite fruit is Dragon fruit

Subscription revenue + rev rec workflow (Chargebee → NetSuite)

• Monitor and resolve subscription revenue flow issues that delay close (e.g., billing → ERP sync errors, credit notes, customer tax/VAT data changes).
• Support NetSuite revenue recognition execution and troubleshooting, including workflow/approval issues that block posting.

AP + spend controls (Payhawk → NetSuite)

• Help keep Payhawk “clean” going into close: invoices/receipts captured, correct entity + coding, approvals complete, payment evidence retained, and sync exceptions resolved.
• Enforce and improve our Payhawk submission process (right entity inboxes, AP mailbox for bank transfers, clear expectations across the company).

Balance sheet stewardship + reconciliations

• Own balance sheet integrity for assigned accounts (prepaids, accruals, intercompany, etc.), including aging and follow-ups.
• Drive issues to root cause and fix them permanently (process, system, or upstream behavior).

Build a better finance machine

• Document SOPs/checklists, tighten controls, and reduce manual work.
• Partner with Finance leadership to shorten close time and increase confidence in the numbers.

Ad hoc support

• Tackle ad hoc accounting/finance requests that come up during the month (analysis, audit asks, process cleanups, cross-functional questions).
• Support the Accountant in Residence with tax return preparation support (as needed)

Requirements

Hospitable is a remote-only and distributed company. For this position, your location is not a requirement. The ideal fit would work under US Eastern or EMEA timezones.

Don't tick all the boxes? Talk to us about why you're still an amazing fit. In the meantime, here's what we're paying attention to:

• 5+ years in accounting with real month-end close ownership.
• Strong reconciliation and documentation discipline (you can explain every balance).
• Experience working in an ERP (NetSuite strongly preferred).
• Comfort operating in a fast-moving, remote environment: proactive communication, high ownership, low hand-holding.

Extra special kudos if you have:

• SaaS subscription billing/revenue exposure (Chargebee experience is a plus).
• AP/spend tooling experience (Payhawk or similar).
• Multi-entity / multi-currency experience.

How we’ll measure success:

• Close tasks are completed on time with strong support and minimal rework.
• Fewer blockers month over month in billing → ERP → revenue recognition flows.
• AP and spend processes don’t create surprises at month-end (coding complete, approvals done, exceptions resolved).
• You leave the system better than you found it: cleaner reconciliations, clearer SOPs, faster close.

Benefits

• A supportive, radically transparent, and caring team environment, where you are trusted, not managed—and a culture that is focused on results and output.
• The total budget for this role is within US$98,000.00 - US$118,000.00 depending on the cost of living in your location. We can hire talent internationally as contractors—or employees if you are based in the United States, the European Union, or Australia, taking into account payroll taxes to determine your gross compensation. For US employees, this means the gross salary could be anywhere between US$90,384.21 - US$109,568.54.
• We also offer options into the company equity through our $HOST token (RSU's), with a grant value of up to $32,400.00 to share in the long-term upside value of the company.
• For US employees: healthcare (including EPO, PPO and HSA), 401(k).
• 35 days off per year, encouraged (including self-serve public holidays) and parental leave.
• Complimentary mental health and emotional support with therapists on call through Slack by Spill.
• Earn virtual coins through our peer recognition platform and redeem them through gift cards, donations, or monetary rewards.
