Job description

Title: Senior Accountant

Location: Onsite Downtown Boston- 5 days a week in office

Compensation: $60,000-96,000 commensurate with experience, plus bonus eligibility

Flexcar is completely reimagining car ownership. We offer the world’s first month-to-month car lease, with insurance and maintenance included. Members can swap cars anytime as their needs change, without the commitment or hassle of traditional car ownership. By combining operational expertise with technology, data, and AI, we’re transforming every aspect of the customer journey and delivering a more affordable, flexible, and hassle-free alternative to buying or leasing.

About the Role

We're building out our US accounting presence in Boston and looking for a Senior Accountant to be our first accounting hire in the US outside of the Controller. This is a great opportunity for an early-career accountant to grow quickly: you'll get hands-on exposure to month-end close, audit support, and the process-building work that goes into scaling an accounting function, working closely with and learning directly from the Controller.

What You'll Do

• Prepare journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules as part of the monthly close process
• Assist the Controller in documenting and rolling out new accounting processes and controls as the team scales
• Coordinate with the India-based accounting team member on day-to-day handoffs to help ensure consistent standards across time zones
• Gather and organize supporting documentation for internal and external audit requests
• Help identify gaps in current processes and flag opportunities to improve close timeliness and accuracy
• Support technical accounting research and memo preparation under the Controller's guidance
• Assist with ad hoc financial reporting and analysis requests from the Controller
• Oversee Accounts Payable function and help ensure payments are made in a timely and accurate manner

What We're Looking For

• 2–4 years of accounting experience; exposure to public accounting (audit) or month-end close in an industry setting is a plus
• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA track a plus but not required
• Some hands-on experience with month-end close tasks such as journal entries and reconciliations
• Exposure to audit support (internal or external) preferred, but not required
• Eagerness to learn process design and controls work, with the initiative to take on more scope over time
• Comfortable working as the sole on-site US accounting team member
• Strong communication skills to coordinate effectively with an international teammate across time zones
• Proficiency with Excel; experience with accounting software/ERP a plus

Why This Role

This is a ground-floor opportunity to grow with the company's US accounting function. You'll have direct visibility with the Controller, hands-on exposure to close, audit, and process work well beyond a typical staff role, and a clear path to grow into a more senior position as the team and your scope expand.

What tops the tank:

• Rest & Relaxation: Flexible PTO policy.
• Future Savings: Benefit from a 401(k) plan with company match from day one.
• Benefits: Day One - Excellent, low-cost healthcare coverage including medical, dental, vision.
• Drive a Flexcar! Discounted employee rate on Flexcar products and no annual membership fee.
• Weekly pay
• And other amazing perks!
