Job description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

Senior Accountant – Long-Lived Assets

We are looking for an exceptional Senior Accountant to support Anduril's long-lived asset accounting function — property, plant, and equipment, leases, and intangibles. The Accounting team owns the month-end close and reporting infrastructure behind one of the fastest-scaling companies in defense. This is a build seat more than a maintain seat: we are preparing for a future potential IPO, expanding rapidly, and integrating acquired businesses, so you will help set the processes, systems, and controls this function runs on for years.

The ideal candidate will be able to support the hyper growth of our business and will therefore need to be comfortable and experienced moving at an incredibly fast pace. Come join us as we disrupt an entire industry and help take your career to the next level with a team that is charging towards changing the world of defense.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Long-Lived Asset Accounting: Support the accounting for Anduril's long-lived assets end to end — property, plant, and equipment, leases, and intangibles — including the fixed asset and lease subledgers, depreciation and amortization, additions, transfers, disposals, and monthly roll-forwards.
• Capitalization Policy: Serve as a key point of contact for Anduril's capitalization policy — advising program, engineering, and operations teams on capitalize-versus-expense treatment and reviewing capital spend requests for policy compliance.
• Software Capitalization: Execute capitalization of software assets in alignment with applicable accounting standards (ASC 350).
• Reporting & Disclosures: Prepare footnotes, disclosures, and supporting schedules for long-lived asset accounts to support financial reporting.
• Reconciliations: Prepare financial reconciliations timely and be able to research and resolve variances as needed.
• Systems & Process Improvement: Help implement new systems or improve efficiencies with current systems to support continued company and team growth.
• Controls: Contribute to the control environment by establishing, improving, and maintaining operational processes over long-lived assets.
• Mindset: No job too small mentality, be curious and helpful to others.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Fixed Assets: Experience with fixed asset accounting is required.
• Education: Bachelor's degree in accounting or related field.
• Experience: 3+ years of progressive accounting experience.
• Systems & Rigor: Highly detail oriented with strong experience in Excel, ERP systems, and US GAAP.
• Prioritization: Proven ability to manage competing priorities in a high growth organization.
• Execution & Strategic Vision: Able to get hands dirty to drive organizational change while also maintaining an ability to manage up against strategic priorities/reporting.
• Eligibility: Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Education & Certifications: CPA (active or inactive) and/or MBA.
• Industry Background: Prior experience in companies that are tech or advanced manufacturing.
• Technical Accounting: Working knowledge of long-lived asset standards — ASC 360 (property, plant and equipment; impairment), ASC 842 (leases), and ASC 350 (intangibles and internal-use software).
• Accounting Mix: Healthy mix of technical accounting and operational accounting.
