Clutch is hiring a Senior Accountant to own our month-end close from start to finish, partnering closely with our Accounting Manager to build a close that’s fast, clean, and audit-ready
We’re looking for someone who combines strong technical accounting expertise with a builder’s mindset — someone who enjoys taking ownership and solving complex problems.
The Accounting & Finance team is small, senior, and hands-on. We’re focused on creating accurate, efficient, and scalable accounting processes while delivering timely financial insights that support the business, and we work closely with FP&A, People, and Legal.
As a Senior Accountant, you’ll report directly to the Accounting Manager and act as the team’s hands-on execution partner, building the documentation and controls that let accounting scale alongside the business.
If you’re excited about building in a fast-moving environment, thrive on accountability, and want to help shape the future of the finance function, we’d love to meet you.
Within 3 months, you will:
Develop a strong understanding of Clutch’s business model, credit union client base, and month-end close process.
Own assigned balance sheet reconciliations and journal entries with accuracy and timeliness.
Become proficient in QuickBooks and our broader financial stack, including our Rippling integration.
Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure transactions are recorded accurately and in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Own at least full close cycle end-to-end, documenting the process, while identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and strengthen controls.
Within 6 months, you will:
Take ownership of key general ledger areas, including the chart of accounts, prepaid asset schedules, and fixed asset/depreciation registers. You will become the primary accounting owner for assigned accounts and business processes.
Assist with technical accounting analyses, including revenue recognition under ASC 606.
Help improve and document accounting policies, close procedures, and internal controls, including materiality thresholds and expense limits.
Compile PBC lists, support audit requests, and act as a primary operational point of contact for external auditors during our financial statement audit.
Partner with FP&A and business stakeholders to improve financial reporting and operational insights, and coordinate monthly GL workflows with our distributed accounting team, reviewing their deliverables for accuracy and U.S. GAAP alignment.
Within 9 months, you will:
Serve as a trusted accounting partner across the organization, providing guidance on accounting impacts for new products, contracts, and business initiatives.
Lead process improvement projects that increase automation, scalability, and close speed.
Recommend and implement best practices to support a growth-stage business, including timely and accurate sales tax and annual tax reporting.
Mentor junior team members and contribute to building a high-performing accounting function prepared for continued growth.
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.
3–6 years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 2 years leading or co-leading a full-cycle month-end close.
Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP, including ASC 606 revenue recognition.
Hands-on ownership of general ledger accounts, reconciliations, accruals, and month-end close.
Prior experience working in a venture-backed, fast-paced startup environment where priorities evolve quickly.
Strong attention to detail with the ability to balance accuracy and speed.
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
Ability to communicate accounting concepts clearly to both finance and non-finance partners.
A proactive mindset. You identify issues before they become problems and enjoy improving how work gets done.
Experience supporting a financial statement audit end-to-end, including PBC ownership and direct auditor interaction.
Advanced proficiency in QuickBooks (or a comparable ERP) and Excel/Google Sheets (reconciliations, models, lookups).
CPA license (or active progress toward obtaining your CPA) strongly preferred.
Public accounting experience (Big 4 or regional firm).
Experience with Rippling, Sequence HQ, or similar modern fintech accounting tooling.
Exposure to lending, credit, or regulated financial services.
Familiarity with financial systems integrations and accounting automation tools.
Experience working in a company that has successfully scaled through multiple funding rounds.
Experience working with stock compensation, equity accounting, or other startup-specific accounting topics.
