Senior Accountant needed for fast-paced marketplace startup. Must have reconciliation expertise (cash, wallets, AR/AP), QuickBooks proficiency, tax/audit leadership, and spend management (Ramp/Stripe). 4+ years in startups/public accounting. Own monthly close, remote in USA. No visa sponsorship. Salary: $100K-$120K. Passion for collectibles a plus.

<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/alt/jobs/alt.xyz">Alt</a> is unlocking the value of alternative assets, starting with the $5B trading-card market. We let collectors buy, sell, vault, and finance their cards in one place and we are backed by leaders at Stripe, Coinbase, Seven Seven Six, and pro athletes like Tom Brady and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Our next frontier is real-time pricing at scale—the Alt Value that powers every trade, loan, and product on the platform.

We are hiring a Senior Accountant who will fully own Alt’s accounting and
monthly close. You will be a one-person accounting team as we continue to grow
our finance and accounting org, operating independently while partnering closely
with Operations, Lending, and Leadership.



You will build the finance backbone for a fast-growing marketplace: accelerate
the close, own smarter spend, and give leadership clear, real-time visibility.



What You’ll Do

 * Own the monthly close end-to-end and deliver first-pass financials within
   five business days

 * Run core reconciliations: cash and custodial wallets, seller payouts, payment
   processors, AR, AP, accruals, fixed assets, and key balance sheet accounts

 * Maintain revenue and COGS recognition across auctions, fixed price, and
   lending in line with policy, including fees, refunds, and principal vs. agent
   considerations

 * Own spend management: corporate cards and AP, vendor onboarding and master
   data, invoice routing and approvals, expense policy, receipt compliance, and
   month-end accruals

 * Present to leadership weekly with concise commentary and trend charts;
   deliver a month-end Leadership Pack with P&L, balance sheet, cash, and flux
   analysis

 * Be the primary liaison to tax accountants and auditors: own audit and tax
   calendars, walkthroughs, sample requests, and timely responses

 * Coordinate federal and state income/franchise filings and 1099 compliance

 * Maintain accounting policies, close checklists, reconciliations, and an
   approvals matrix; strengthen controls and documentation



This Is a Perfect Fit If You…

 * Take full ownership, communicate proactively, and like turning ambiguity into
   structure

 * Enjoy building clean reconciliations and scalable checklists

 * Balance accuracy with speed and know when to ship, iterate, or escalate

 * Prefer automation to repetition and can stand up simple tooling without a big
   team



What You Bring to the Table

 * 4 to 7 years in public accounting and industry or equivalent startup
   experience

 * Hands-on ownership of monthly close in a lean environment; strong US GAAP
   knowledge

 * Reconciliation expertise: cash, wallets, payouts, processors, AR, AP,
   accruals, and reserves

 * Spend management experience with Ramp or similar tools for cards and AP

 * Experience owning external tax/audit relationships and leading PBC workflows

 * Tools: QuickBooks Online, Stripe, banking portals; Google Workspace, Notion,
   Slack; Ramp

 * Lending accounting exposure and reserve methodologies; experience with debt
   facility reporting



What You’ll Get From Us

 * Hands-on exposure to both accounting and finance processes with growth
   opportunities

 * A chance to own the function and build the foundation for scale

Here are key insights for evaluating Senior Accountant applicants:

*   **Experience Level:** Prioritize candidates with 4-7 years of experience, specifically within lean startup environments (ideally Series C or later, 50-200 employees). A background in public accounting followed by startup experience is highly desirable.
*   **Core Accounting Skills:** Essential skills include end-to-end monthly close ownership, strong US GAAP knowledge, and expertise in reconciliations (cash, wallets, payouts, AR, AP, accruals, reserves).
*   **Startup Acumen:** Look for candidates who demonstrate proactive ownership, can turn ambiguity into structure, and enjoy building scalable processes and clean reconciliations. They should balance accuracy with speed and know when to iterate or escalate.
*   **Technical Proficiency:** Familiarity with QuickBooks Online, Ramp (or similar spend management tools), Stripe, and Google Workspace is crucial. Experience with Metabase or other BI tools is a plus.
*   **Key Responsibilities:** Candidates should have experience owning external tax/audit relationships and leading PBC workflows. Spend management experience is also a significant requirement.
*   **Red Flags:** Avoid candidates who focus on only one niche area of accounting (e.g., AP only) or those with experience solely in very large, established corporations without clear startup exposure. Candidates lacking process-building capabilities for a solo role should also be flagged.
*   **Success Factors:** Ideal candidates have a proven track record of hands-on ownership in lean environments, can build financial backbones, and provide clear visibility to leadership. Marketplace experience is a strong advantage.
