At Meow, we provide startups with business accounts, corporate cards, and the clean financial reporting they need to operate and raise capital. Early-stage companies often don’t need a full-time accountant, but they do need reliable books and investor-ready numbers. We bundle bookkeeping, tax, and reporting into a simple finance-in-a-box solution so founders can focus on building.

We’re hiring an Accounting Lead who wants real ownership in a fast-moving startup environment. You’ll manage startup clients, ensuring their month-end close is accurate, on time, and scalable. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on autonomy, systems thinking, and direct collaboration with founders.

Responsibilities:

- Manage client relationships

- Owning the creation, review, and issuance of flawless and timely monthly financials for 20-40 clients

- Managing and training preparer team for bullet-proof financials and strong client margins

- Communicating with clients via Slack and Email: answering questions, obtaining information for closes, etc





- Cleaning and setting up new sets of books for newly signed clients

Qualifications:

- 3-5 years of accounting experience

- Strong understanding of month-end close and financial reporting

- Experience reviewing the work of others (bookkeepers or junior accountants)

- Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple clients simultaneously

- Clear communicator, comfortable working directly with founders

This is a high-autonomy role where you’ll truly own your portfolio and have the autonomy to improve how work gets done. You’ll work directly with innovative, early-stage startups, gaining rare exposure to how companies operate while they’re scaling. Because of the responsibility and client volume, you’ll develop faster than in a traditional accounting role, building skills in prioritization, systems design, and stakeholder management in a fast-moving setting.
