Job description

The finance team at Snapchat is expanding, and we want a Controller who treats Cash Flow Management as second nature. This CA role reads like an upgrade — $86,000 - $125,000, internship hours, 5 years valued, and a path that does not dead-end.

Key Responsibilities

• Reconcile merchant fees against statements that never quite match
• Translate GAAP nuance into guidance the Lancaster team can apply
• Generate ad hoc reports combining Tax Preparation and Cash Flow Management for finance leadership
• Catch the misclassified entry three months before the auditor would
• Forecast working capital tight enough to avoid a deeply collaborative cash crunch
• Mentor junior accounting staff and review their work for accuracy

What You'll Bring

• The kind of ownership that treats the company's money like your own
• A history of leaving finance processes better than you found them
• The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
• Real curiosity about why Snapchat customers do what they do
• Comfort being the newest person in the room and the loudest in the notes
• Resilience measured across 3 years of finance cycles
• Knowledge of CA-specific regulations relevant to finance work
