Senior Accountant

About Perceptyx

At Perceptyx, we're on a mission to help organizations turn employee insights into measurable impact. Our AI-enabled employee experience platform leverages the science of listening, behavioral nudges, and predictive analytics to help clients elevate engagement, retention, and performance. We're a team of innovators fueled by purpose, collaboration, and excellence — and we're looking for someone who wants to play at the highest level.

Senior Accountant

Perceptyx runs on the numbers behind it, and this role is where those numbers get built right. As our Senior Accountant, you'll own the general ledger, monthly close, and balance sheet reconciliations that keep our books accurate and audit-ready for a company serving close to a third of the Fortune 100. You'll dig into the details, catch what's off before it becomes a problem, and use AI and automation to take the manual grind off your plate so you can spend more time on the work that actually needs a sharp eye. This is a role for someone who wants ownership over their piece of the books, not a checklist to clear.

• Complete monthly reconciliations across all balance sheet accounts, resolving discrepancies before they compound (30%)
• Run monthly variance analysis, comparing actuals to expectations and flagging what needs attention (10%)
• Look for ways to improve accounting processes and procedures, including using AI and automation tools to boost accuracy and speed up issue resolution (10%)
• Lead the year-end financial audit process: coordinate with external auditors and internal teams to provide the documentation and explanations they need (5%)
• Keep accounting practices compliant with GAAP, company policy, and relevant laws and regulations (5%)
• Support tax compliance activities as needed (5%)
