About the Role

We're hiring an Senior Accountant to join our growing Finance & Accounting team. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role at the heart of our financial operations, supporting everything from day-to-day bookkeeping through to financial reporting, compliance, and our upcoming ERP migration.

You will be a key member of a lean finance team, working closely with our outsourced accounting partners, the India Accounting Lead, and U.S. leadership. This is an opportunity to build deep expertise in a fast-growing, venture-backed hardware and technology company — and to play a central role in maturing our financial infrastructure as we scale toward and beyond our Series B.

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end bookkeeping — including GL maintenance, AP/AR processing, bank reconciliations, and fixed asset management — ensuring accuracy and timeliness across all entries.

• Drive the monthly close process — prepare journal entries, accruals, and balance sheet reconciliations, and maintain the close calendar to ensure deadlines are consistently met.

• Prepare financial statements — produce monthly and annual P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statements in accordance with US GAAP.

• Deliver MIS reporting — prepare variance analysis, departmental cost reports, and KPI dashboards that give leadership clear, actionable financial insight.

• Support ERP migration activities — act as the primary liaison with the outsourced accounting firm on the ERP transition; own data migration, user acceptance testing (UAT), SOP documentation, and post go-live support.

• Ensure compliance — manage statutory filings, support internal and external audits, and maintain strong internal controls and documentation across all accounting processes.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Accounting or Finance; CA/ACCA, CPA, or CMA certification preferred.

• 3–5 years of hands-on accounting experience, ideally at a high-growth technology, hardware, or manufacturing company.

• Solid US GAAP knowledge with experience managing or coordinating with outsourced accounting firms.

• Proficient in accounting software (NetSuite, QuickBooks, or similar); ERP migration experience is a strong plus.

• Advanced Excel skills, strong attention to detail, and demonstrated ability to meet tight close deadlines.

• Excellent communication skills and comfort working cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment.

• Flexibility for periodic calls across time zones (e.g., U.S.) as needed.

Why Join Us

• Play a central role in building the financial infrastructure of a category-defining deep-tech company.

• Work with cutting-edge technology and a mission-driven team tackling one of the world's most critical safety challenges.

• Competitive salary, with significant ownership and visibility as an early member of a lean, high-impact finance organization.
