About the Role
Clutch is hiring a Senior Accountant to own our month-end close from start to finish, partnering closely with our Accounting Manager to build a close that’s fast, clean, and audit-ready.
This is not a support role: you drive the process, identify gaps, and build the documentation and controls that let us scale. We’re accelerating our close to a standard 5-7 business day cycle while coordinating financial operations across a distributed team, so this role carries real ownership from day one.
We’re looking for someone who combines strong technical accounting expertise with a builder’s mindset — someone who enjoys taking ownership and solving complex problems.
About the Team
The Accounting & Finance team is small, senior, and hands-on. We’re focused on creating accurate, efficient, and scalable accounting processes while delivering timely financial insights that support the business, and we work closely with FP&A, People, and Legal.
As a Senior Accountant, you’ll report directly to the Accounting Manager and act as the team’s hands-on execution partner, building the documentation and controls that let accounting scale alongside the business.
If you’re excited about building in a fast-moving environment, thrive on accountability, and want to help shape the future of the finance function, we’d love to meet you.

Assist with technical accounting analyses, including revenue recognition under ASC 606.
Help improve and document accounting policies, close procedures, and internal controls, including materiality thresholds and expense limits.
Compile PBC lists, support audit requests, and act as a primary operational point of contact for external auditors during our financial statement audit.
