About HappyRobot
HappyRobot is the infrastructure for enterprises to build and orchestrate AI workforces. Our AI workers don't just communicate through voice and email - they make decisions, take action, and run operations autonomously across entire enterprise systems. Born in Y Combinator (S23) and backed by a16z, Base10, Prysm Capital and Eurazeo with over $150M raised, we power critical operations for global enterprises worldwide.
Our platform is battle-tested in the most demanding environments, where AI has real consequences. We started in logistics, built our own voice stack, models, and orchestration layer from the ground up, and are now bringing that infrastructure to every enterprise that runs the real economy. Learn more about our vision in our manifesto.
Role Overview
HappyRobot is hiring an Accounting Manager, General Ledger & OPEX — an owner who will stand up our core close, multi-entity consolidation, and operating-expense accounting from scratch, reporting to the Head of Accounting, as we scale globally across different entities.
This is a 0-to-1 job with real autonomy attached. You're not inheriting a close calendar or a team structure, you're designing both, and you're expected to be a genuine thought partner to the Head of Accounting on GL and close policy, not just an executor of decisions made elsewhere. We expect you to actively hunt down repetitive, manual close work and eliminate it using AI finance tools (including our own platform).
What You'll Do
-
End-to-End Month-End Close: Design and execute a scalable close process from the ground up, including reconciliations, accruals, and balance sheet flux review on a calendar optimized to tighten every quarter as automation matures.
-
Strategic GL Partnership: Serve as a trusted thought partner to the Head of Accounting on general ledger and operational policy decisions.
-
Automation & Efficiency: Actively eliminate manual, repetitive close tasks by leveraging system automations and AI finance tools, exercising sound judgment on where automation is appropriate.
-
Multi-Entity Consolidation: Build and systematize multi-entity consolidation and intercompany elimination processes across US, UK, Spain, and Brazil entities (covering transfer pricing, FX translation, and CTA calculation) to replace manual quarterly rebuilds.
-
OPEX Accounting Ownership: Manage end-to-end OPEX accounting, including unbilled accruals, prepaid amortization, and budget-to-actual variance analysis in partnership with FP&A.
