Strong knowledge of US GAAP, including ASC 606 revenue recognition.

Deep experience with month-end close, account reconciliations, and financial reporting.

Responsibilities

Accounting at Descript is more than keeping the books clean. It's about building the financial foundation that allows the company to move quickly and make confident decisions.

You will be a hands-on accounting leader reporting to the VP of Finance, owning the month-end close, financial reporting, and core accounting operations. You'll manage our Senior Accountant and operate across the full accounting stack — from journal entries and reconciliations to revenue recognition and systems improvements.

We're looking for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment and isn't afraid to jump into any accounting challenge. No task is too small or too complex if it improves the integrity and efficiency of our financial operations. This role has a clear growth path into a Controller position as the company scales.

Month-end close

: Own the close process end-to-end — review the Senior Accountant's work, produce your own, and drive continuous improvements to close timelines and accuracy.
