Job Posting Details
About Lever
We founded Lever in 2012 to tackle the most strategic challenge that companies face: how to grow their teams. We're injecting the values we respect – collaboration, transparency, and humanity – into our software and re-imagining how organizations can think about growth, with talent and teamwork at the center.
Summary
As senior accountant, you’ll work with our CFO to build a strong, agile, and productive Finance team in the rapidly expanding and disruptive talent acquisition market. In just three years since its founding, Lever has already seen tremendous growth and velocity. Join our newly formed Finance team with Lever’s CFO to keep Lever fiscally sound and moving forward as we continue to grow our business, employee base, and ever-increasing roster of innovative customers.
Responsibilities
Our Finance team is small, and as such, you’ll partner with our CFO to make Lever a financially steady, effective, and growing organization. You’ll create documentation for business processes and accounting policies as well as provide support for future business changes--you will be the closest to our cash flow and we’ll count on you to be the owner to keep us propelling forward. You’ll bring your expertise (preferably several years’ experience in Finance/Accounting, and a bachelor’s in Accounting) in all things accounting: processing accounting transactions, overseeing Revenue, AP, AR, and our Collections process. You’ll also own month-end and year-end close process and provide insight to our CFO and other relevant team members to ensure Finance is a partner to all levels of the organization. You’ll help us confidently raise our Series C round of funding while also helping us achieve daily financial progress. We’re looking for our second member of our Finance team to be as maniacal about Finance as we are about hiring (you’ll also be helping with the latter!). Our team is collaborative, hard-working, and invested in growing our team the best way we know how. Come join the team as we continue to accelerate through our next phases of growth.
