Job description

The role is the first in-house accountant, taking over bookkeeping, monthly and year-end close, and tax filings from an outside provider. A strong candidate has several years of accounting, ideally with audit training and some time at a software company, plus a professional qualification or part of one. They should know Austrian GAAP well, be comfortable with auditors, and be able to set up accounting for new countries, entities and products.

How it fits the AI era

AI tools can speed up routine work like matching bank entries, coding invoices and drafting reconciliations, so more of the job becomes checking and explaining results. Judgment stays human: deciding how usage-based revenue should be recorded, writing policies that satisfy auditors and investors, and answering hard technical questions. At a company selling AI phone agents, billing data comes in large volumes by the minute, so careful design of the accounting matters more than manual entry.

How it builds AI experience

The work gives direct exposure to accounting for an AI product that charges by usage, which is a growing and still unsettled area of finance. Someone could build experience by learning how to use AI assistants for reconciliations and close checklists, and by connecting billing tools like Stripe to the ledger. Documenting which tasks were automated and how errors were caught makes a solid story to share.

Worth showing

• Month-end and year-end close
• Usage-based revenue recognition
• Multi-entity consolidation
• Audit and due diligence readiness
