Job Description

About Vercel:

Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company, freeing people and agents to ship what’s next. For more than a decade we’ve helped builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.

Now we’re scaling our products for both agents and people to ship and run software, built in the open and trusted by OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide.

About the Role:

The Senior Accountant will play a key role in supporting and scaling Vercel’s accounting operations as the company continues to grow and mature, to operate at standards expected for a public company. Reporting to the Sr. Accounting Manager, this role will own assigned operational accounting areas and be a key contributor to the monthly and quarterly close, ensuring accurate and timely financial information to support FP&A and business decision‑making.

This position will have hands‑on responsibility for key accounting areas, including but not limited to accruals, lease accounting, capitalized commissions, and payroll accounting. This position will also have involvement in the accounting for subsidiaries related to M&A activity.

• Support the monthly and quarterly close process, ensuring accuracy, completeness and timeliness of assigned areas.
• Prepare financial reporting packages and presentations for senior leadership, including detailed fluctuation and trend analyses.
• Prepare account reconciliations and supporting schedules, proactively identifying and resolving discrepancies.
• Partner with FP&A to align accounting results, ensuring consistency between actuals, forecasts, and business drivers.
• Lead or support process improvement and automation initiatives to streamline month‑end and quarter‑end close activities, improve internal controls, and enhance end‑to‑end operational effectiveness.
• Build and use AI agents to automate daily activities.
• Support M&A activities as they arise, including onboarding new entities.
• Assist with audit and review processes by preparing documentation, responding to auditor inquiries, and supporting testing efforts.
• Support other special projects as they arise.
