Description We are looking for an experienced Sr. Accountant to join a growing team in Santa Clara, California in a contract-to-permanent capacity. This role is ideal for someone who can quickly take ownership of core accounting activities, lead the monthly close cycle, and produce accurate financial reporting with minimal ramp-up time. The position is primarily remote, with occasional onsite presence as business needs require.

Responsibilities:

Lead the month-end close process, ensuring entries are completed accurately and reporting deadlines are met.

Prepare and maintain financial statements, including balance sheets and income statements, using NetSuite and supporting Excel schedules.

Review and classify revenue and other financial activity into the appropriate accounts to support accurate general ledger reporting.

Perform reconciliations for bank accounts, balance sheet accounts, and other key records to identify and resolve discrepancies promptly.

Manage day-to-day accounting operations related to journal entries, ledger maintenance, and supporting documentation.

Coordinate with external tax and audit partners by supplying requested financial data and responding to accounting-related inquiries.

Evaluate existing accounting workflows and recommend improvements that strengthen accuracy, efficiency, and compliance.

Support invoicing, payroll-related accounting, and other interconnected financial processes across integrated systems as needed. Requirements

Proven experience working as a Senior Accountant or in a comparable accounting role with ownership of the close process.

Strong hands-on expertise with NetSuite is required.

Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel for reconciliations, schedules, and financial analysis.

Solid knowledge of general ledger activity, journal entries, account reconciliations, and bank reconciliations.

Understanding of GAAP accounting principles and application in a fast-paced business environment.

Ability to work independently, learn quickly, and contribute with minimal supervision or training.

Experience collaborating with external tax or audit service providers is preferred.

Background supporting accounting operations in a startup AI or Tech company is a plus.
