About the Role

Genius AI is growing fast and the financial infrastructure needs to keep pace. As a Senior Accountant, you'll own core accounting operations: monthly close, reconciliations, AP and AR, expense management, and audit support. The expectation here goes beyond executing the core accounting functions. You'll be expected to identify the manual, repeatable parts of the job and eliminate them — through AI, automation, or cleaner process design.

You will report to the Controller. You must be commutable to our NYC headquarters and will operate in an in-person environment. We default to being in-office 3–4 days per week with required attendance on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

What You'll Do

• Execute a timely and accurate monthly close — journal entries, accruals, and account reconciliations across the general ledger — and actively look for ways to shorten the cycle over time
• Own AP and AR end-to-end: process vendor invoices, manage payment runs, monitor AR aging, and ensure collections and records stay clean
• Prepare and review reconciliations for bank accounts, credit cards, and key balance sheet accounts on a monthly basis
• Review and process employee expense reports in accordance with company policy, ensuring proper coding and documentation
• Support the annual financial audit by preparing schedules, organizing documentation, and working directly with external auditors
• Build AI powered workflows to eliminate repeatable and manual work in accounting operations
• Partner with Finance, People Ops, and other teams to ensure transactions are properly recorded and financial data stays reliable across the business

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years of accounting experience, with a solid grasp of GAAP and foundational accounting principles; experience at high growth technology company is a plus
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA is strongly preferred
• Proven experience improving accounting workflows using AI or automation — not just adopted tools, but identified repeatable work, eliminated it, and redirected your time towards problems that actually require judgment
• Comfortable in a general ledger system; experience with NetSuite or a comparable ERP is preferred
• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills; experience replacing spreadsheet-based workflows with automated solutions 
• Have a builder's instinct — you don't just flag inefficiencies, you propose and help implement the fix

Benefits & Perks

• Competitive health & dental insurance options, effective on your first day of employment
• Flexible PTO
• In-office lunch twice per week for NYC and SF employees, plus late night dinner stipends
• Access to Wellhub, a corporate wellness platform with discounted gym memberships, fitness classes, and mental health resources
• Annual stipend for professional development and continued learning
• High performers at 5 years receive a generous stipend to use however you recharge best
• 401k benefit: employees are eligible to contribute starting day 1 of employment
• Dependent Care FSA
• Paid parental leave
• Fertility and adoption benefits via Carrot and Kindbody

The base salary for this role is between $115,000–$140,000+ equity + benefits. The compensation package offered is dependent upon many factors including skills, experience, location, and education. The range is subject to change and may be modified in the future. Additionally, this role is currently eligible to participate in Genius AI's equity plan as well as a range of health & wellbeing, retirement savings, and other benefits within our total rewards offering.
