Job description

We’re a lean accounting team at a fast-moving cybersecurity startup looking for a hands-on Staff Accountant who owns the full accounts-payable cycle and contributes meaningfully to month-end close. You’ll handle everything from vendor onboarding and payment runs to fixed-asset accounting, reconciliations, and close journals. This is a broad, generalist role suited to someone who likes variety, works independently, and is comfortable being the go-to person for AP and several general-ledger areas.

This is a long-term part-time role (20-40 hours per week), with the potential to transition to full-time.

Key Responsibilities

Accounts Payable (Daily)

  • Maintain the vendor register and onboard new vendors/suppliers in Bill.com, routing invoices through the correct approval workflows.

  • Manage the dedicated AP mailbox and coordinate with department heads on vendor payments.

  • Ensure expenses are coded to the correct account (COGS, OpEx) and department.

  • Review employee expense reimbursements and corporate card charges for policy compliance, correct coding, and complete receipts.

  • Record disbursements in the accounting system (wires, ACH, direct debits, tax payments, etc.).

Cash & Treasury

  • Apply customer receipts, including foreign-exchange differences and bank charges.

  • Process approved payments from Bill.com or set them up directly in the bank.

Weekly

  • Update the weekly cash forecast for expected vendor payments.

  • Prepare AP aging for review.

Month-End Close

  • Reconcile all bank and credit card accounts (checking, PayPal, Stripe, AMEX, etc.).

  • Reconcile AP between QBO and Bill.com; calculate revaluation entries.

  • Maintain the fixed-asset register (depreciation, additions, disposals/write-offs) and intangible-asset register (amortization, capitalization).

  • Prepare prepaid amortization, accrual, and loan-related schedules and journals (interest expense, debt issuance costs).

  • Perform analytical review of expense accounts and proactively flag over-budget spend.

  • Track supplies shipped into the U.S. for use-tax reporting;

  • Support expense-by-vendor and by-department reporting.

Annual

  • Manage 1099 reporting and collect W-9 / W-8 forms before payment.

  • Assist with the preparation of schedules for tax-return submission.

Job requirements

We’re looking for:

  • 3+ years of progressive accounting experience covering AP and general-ledger / month-end close (startup or lean-team experience a plus).

  • Solid understanding of U.S. GAAP fundamentals: accruals, prepaids, fixed and intangible assets, and foreign exchange.

  • Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, and large-volume reconciliations).

  • Hands-on experience with QuickBooks Online, Bill.com, and Expensify.

  • Strong attention to detail, an ownership mindset, and clear written communication for cross-team coordination.

  • Professional proficiency in English (written and verbal) is required.

Nice to have:

  • Degree in Accounting or Finance, or equivalent experience

  • Exposure to SaaS/tech environments, multi-entity or multi-currency accounting.
