Accountant

Exactera has offices in New York City, Tarrytown NY, San Diego, CA, London, and Argentina. 

About the role

Exactera is scaling its finance function and is looking for a highly dependable Senior Accountant who combines strong US GAAP knowledge with a process-builder mindset and a high degree of personal accountability. This role is for someone who earns trust by delivering accurate work on tight schedules, raising issues early, and driving them through to resolution.

Exactera helps large multinationals manage complex tax work, including transfer pricing, R&D tax credits, indirect tax, and audit defense. We are evolving from a software-and-services business into an AI-native, tech-enabled services company where technology performs more of the underlying work and experienced practitioners provide the judgment required for accurate, defensible outcomes.

You will take ownership across the corporate accounting activities behind our P&L, including cost of revenue, operating expenses, procure-to-pay, payroll, intercompany accounting, and related balance sheet accounts. You will work in close partnership with both the Controller and Director of FP&A to ensure these areas are accurate, well supported, completed on schedule, and connected to the operating performance of the business.

Working from clear finance-team priorities, you will collaborate with colleagues to identify the processes and account areas that require stronger ownership, diagnose where they break or fail to scale, and take personal accountability for driving fixes through implementation. You will establish the structure, controls, documentation, and operating cadence required for accurate, repeatable execution.

This is a highly accountable role. You will work with the Controller, Director of FP&A, and broader team to achieve strong outcomes while taking personal responsibility for quality, deadlines, and complete follow-through. You take pride in getting the accounting right and leaving processes stronger than you found them.

AI is already part of how finance works at Exactera. We use Claude and ChatGPT to accelerate research, analysis, accounting documentation, and reconciliation work; Ramp supports our procure-to-pay lifecycle; and Rillet is becoming our core ERP.  Technology should make a strong accounting process better - not substitute for one.

You will report to the Director of FP&A and work in close partnership with both finance leaders. The Controller will be a core partner on US GAAP, close execution, controls, and audit readiness; the Director of FP&A on priorities, business context, performance insights, and cross-functional execution. This is currently an individual-contributor role with meaningful ownership
and room to grow.
