Senior Accountant

Wonolo (Work Now Locally) is disrupting the $140BN temporary staffing industry. Founded in 2014, Wonolo's mission is to help people find consistent work. Through our two-sided tech marketplace, we connect hundreds of businesses in need of front-line workers with 2 million underemployed workers in local markets across the United States, within minutes. Wonolo has raised over $200M in funding which will continue to help us empower the in-demand workforce by democratizing access to flexible work, opportunities to learn new skills, a living wage, and comprehensive portable benefits and perks.

As a Senior Accountant, you will be a key partner on our accounting team, helping keep our financial operations accurate and running smoothly as the company grows. You’ll take ownership of a handful of important areas — including sales/use tax, 1099s, stock-based compensation, and reconciliations — while working closely with the team on month-end close, the financial integration of newly acquired companies, and the year-end audit. We’re looking for someone who can run their areas independently and is happy to roll up their sleeves wherever the team needs a hand.

Our ideal candidate is detail-oriented, self-directed, an excellent communicator, and genuinely excited about using modern tools — including AI — to work smarter. If you thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment and want to help build the finance function of a mission-driven, well-funded company, please read on!

We welcome qualified candidates located anywhere in the United States #LI-Remote.

What you'll do

• Own and support key aspects of the monthly close process, including preparing journal entries, reconciliations, flux analyses, and supporting schedules, while serving as a backup across critical accounting functions as needed
• Own stock-based compensation accounting (ASC 718) and related reporting
• Assist with the financial integration of newly acquired companies — bringing their financial records onto our chart of accounts and ERP, establishing consistent accounting processes and controls, reconciling intercompany transactions, and supporting opening balance sheet and purchase accounting activities
• Own monthly financing and debt-related reporting requirements
• Assist with the year-end audit — preparing working papers and supporting schedules, and working closely with the external audit team
• Assist with technical accounting analysis and research, including documenting positions and supporting compliance with relevant U.S. GAAP standards
• Own sales and use tax compliance across U.S. jurisdictions — filings, taxability determinations, and coordination with Avalara/AvaTax, including resolving multi-state and customer-specific tax issues
• Own the annual 1099 process end-to-end, including federal filing, state filing, and recipient reporting
• Identify and implement process improvements that strengthen the close process, improve scalability, and enhance internal controls
• Use AI tools (including Claude) to automate, audit, and accelerate reconciliations, analysis, and close workflows — identifying opportunities to improve how the team works
• Partner cross-functionally, provide ad hoc analysis, and cross-train to back up other finance functions as needed

Who you are

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience with knowledge of U.S. GAAP
• A strong general accounting foundation with experience in account reconciliations and multi-entity environments
• Comfortable owning complex areas independently and communicating technical accounting issues clearly to both finance and non-finance partners
• Fluent and enthusiastic about using AI tools (e.g., Claude) to drive efficiency — this is core to how our team works and is an important requirement for the role
• Proficient in ERP systems and quick to learn new applications
• Advanced Excel skills (e.g., VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, pivot tables, arrays)
• Analytical, highly accurate, and detail-oriented, with the ability to change priorities quickly and meet tight deadlines in a dynamic environment
• A strong enthusiasm for continuous learning, process improvement, and operational efficiency

If you have read up to this point, we hope you are excited about this opportunity to work at Wonolo! Even if your experience does not check every bullet point, we still highly encourage you to apply. The best hires do not always check off every box of a job description.
