What the job involves
- We're looking for a Senior Accountant to own the day-to-day accounting operations that keep ZestyAI running smoothly and our books audit-ready
- This role reaches across the entire general ledger — from accounts payable and receivable to billing, employee expenses, cash,
and month-end close — so you'll be equally comfortable cutting an invoice, chasing a collection, reconciling a bank account, and preparing a journal entry
- It's a hands-on seat at the heart of our finance/accounting team, and you'll partner closely with the Controller, Director of Finance, and cross-functional teams — with real ownership and room to grow as we scale

- Accounts receivable: Manage the AR cycle end to end, including customer invoicing, collections, cash application, and follow-up on outstanding balances
- Billing: Prepare and issue accurate, timely customer invoices in line with contract terms, and resolve billing questions and discrepancies
- Cash reconciliation: Perform daily and monthly bank and cash reconciliations, ensuring transactions are recorded accurately and discrepancies are investigated and resolved promptly
- Employee expense reports: Review and process employee expense reports for policy compliance, accuracy, and proper coding, and administer the corporate card program
- Month-end close: Assist with a timely and accurate monthly close, including preparing journal entries, accruals, and supporting schedules
- Account reconciliations: Prepare balance sheet account reconciliations, researching and clearing reconciling items on a timely basis for review by the Controller
- Audit support:
Assist with annual financial statement audits, including preparing schedules, gathering supporting documentation, and responding to auditor requests
- Process & controls: Help maintain and improve accounting policies, internal controls, and process documentation as the company scales
- Automation &
- AI: Actively look for ways to streamline and automate accounting workflows, bringing AI and modern tools into day-to-day tasks and into the systems we rely on
- Ad hoc: Support special projects, system improvements, and cross-functional initiatives as needed
