Job description

Welcome to Fi.

We’re a passionate team from Square, Google, TikTok, Peloton, Uber, and more working to transform the human-pet relationship. Our mission? Develop cutting-edge technology to revolutionize what it means to be a pet parent. The pet industry remains firmly stuck in the past and we are here to change that. Fi is leveraging our team's talent and expertise to improve the lives of millions of pets in the U.S. Real-time location tracking, activity, sleep and behavior monitoring – and that's just the beginning.

The most exciting aspect of our work? Bridging the communication gap between pets and humans. Imagine a world where everyone knows how their pet feels in real time and how to keep their best friend in good shape. That's the future we're building at Fi.

If you're someone who thrives in innovative, collaborative work environments and feels strongly about helping pets live longer, better lives, Fi could be the perfect fit. Join us in our pursuit of the “impossible,” or as we call it here “let me find a way,” to redefine the future of pet ownership together.

• Partner with Strategic Finance and Supply Chain to align operational data with financial reporting.
• Identify and implement process and control improvements to enhance efficiency and scalability.
• Support ad-hoc analyses, system implementations, and international expansion initiatives.

What You'll Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required.
• 2–3 years of accounting experience, ideally with corporate accounting and/or audit exposure.
• Solid understanding of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting standards.
• CPA license or CPA-eligible preferred.
• Experience with international or consolidation accounting is a plus.
• Advanced Excel skills; experience with ERP systems (QuickBooks or similar). Strong attention to detail, organization, and communication skills.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Why You'll Love Us:

• Time to Recharge: Enjoy flexible PTO to take the breaks you need.
• Top-Notch Health Coverage: We’ve got your back (and teeth and eyes) with full medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Wellness Perks: Free access to One Medical, Kindbody, and Talkspace to keep you feeling your best.
• Dog-Friendly Office: Bring your pup to work — they’re part of the team, too.
• Give Back to the Pups: Make tails wag with a $500 annual donation to a dog charity of your choice through our BarkBack Program.
