Who you are

Minimum Requirements

• 7+ years of relevant public accounting or industry experience, with a B.A. or B.S. degree in Accounting or Finance (CPA strongly preferred), experience accounting for cryptocurrencies including stablecoins, and experience with SQL
• Fluency in U.S. GAAP and ability to research complex accounting issues, with a proven track record of managing high volumes of complex transactions and financial issues
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills with the ability to convey financial concepts to both financial and non-financial audiences, and demonstrated success working collaboratively and influencing cross-functional stakeholders
• Demonstrated history of taking on challenging projects and producing results with excellent attention to detail, and a solution-oriented mindset with enthusiasm for establishing best practices and challenging existing processes to identify improvement opportunities

In-office expectations

Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.

For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.
