Sr Staff Accountant
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. The EEO paragraph at end is boilerplate; we should remove it. Also remove "Walla is committed to creating a culture of inclusivity..." that's EEO; remove.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the description about WallaWalla, the opportunity, the "You’ll Thrive Here If You…" bullet list, the "What You’ll Do" sections (billing & AR, accounting & close), "What We’re Looking For" bullet list, "Nice to Have" bullet list.
We need to decide sections: maybe "About the company", "About the role", "You’ll Thrive Here If You…", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Preferred Qualifications". But the instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings where appropriate.
We have:
- About WallaWalla: could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use "About the role" for the description of the role and company.
- "You’ll Thrive Here If You…" could be "Skills" or "Qualifications". It's more about traits/skills. Could go under "Skills". Or "Qualifications". Since they are not hard requirements but traits. I'd put under "Skills".
- "What You’ll Do" is responsibilities. So heading "Responsibilities". Under that we have sub-sections: Billing & Accounts Receivable, Accounting & Close. Could be lists.
- "What We’re Looking For" is requirements. So heading "Requirements". List.
- "Nice to Have" could be "Preferred Qualifications". Or "Qualifications". Since we already have Requirements, we can use "Preferred Qualifications". Or "Qualifications". The instruction list includes Qualifications as a possible heading. We'll use "Preferred Qualifications".
We must not create sections with filler. All have content.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use
for each section heading. Use
for prose paragraphs. Use
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract text.
About WallaWalla:
"About WallaWalla is a remote-first, pre-Series B SaaS platform serving 800+ boutique fitness studios — yoga, Pilates, and barre — with software that helps them run their business end to end. We're a small, fast-moving team where finance and operations work closely together, and where one person's attention to detail has a direct, visible impact on the business."
That's prose.
The Opportunity:
"We're hiring a Sr Staff Accountant to own billing, accounts receivable, and collections for our client base, while also supporting core month-end close, reconciliation, and reporting work. This is a hands-on role for someone who understands accounting fundamentals — the mechanics of the P&L and balance sheet, how transactions flow through close — but who is just as comfortable on a call with a client resolving an invoice question as they are reconciling a QuickBooks account. You'll work cross-departmentally with Sales, Customer Success, and Operations, and report directly to the VP of Operations. If you've been waiting for a seat where your work is visible, your judgment is trusted, and there's nowhere for good work to get lost, we'd like to hear from you."
That's also prose; could combine with About.
You’ll Thrive Here If You… bullet list:
- Get real satisfaction from a clean reconciliation and a closed month
- Can deliver an awkward billing or collections conversation with a client and have them still like you afterward
- Like owning a full process end to end rather than handing off pieces of it
- Are comfortable being the only accounting person in the room on most days
- Ask "why" when a number looks off instead of just moving on
- Don't need a big team or a lot of structure around you to stay organized and get things done
What You’ll Do:
Billing & Accounts Receivable:
- Own the end-to-end client billing cycle — invoice generation, billing accuracy, and timely delivery — working cross-departmentally with Sales and Customer Success to resolve billing setup issues before they reach clients.
- Manage AR collections: monitor aging, follow up on past-due accounts, and escalate appropriately while protecting the client relationship.
- Serve as a friendly, professional point of contact for client billing and collections questions — resolving disputes and payment issues with clear, courteous communication.
Accounting & Close:
- Map and code expenses and transactions to the proper accounts in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
- Perform month-end close tasks: journal entries, account reconciliations (bank, AR, prepaid, accrual accounts), and supporting schedules.
- Support the accuracy of the P&L and balance sheet by applying sound accrual-accounting judgment and flagging discrepancies.
- Calculate monthly sales commissions in line with plan terms, coordinating with Sales leadership on inputs and exceptions.
- Maintain and update recurring finance spreadsheets, including MRR/revenue waterfall reporting and other management reporting tools.
- Assist with ad hoc financial analysis, audit support, and process improvement projects as Walla scales toward Series B.
What We’re Looking For:
- 5+ years of progressive accounting experience; comfortable operating at a Sr Staff Accountant level or above.
- Solid grasp of core finance principles — double-entry accounting, accrual vs. cash, and how transactions flow through the P&L and balance sheet.
- Hands-on month-end close experience: journal entries, reconciliations, and close checklists.
- Proficiency in QuickBooks Online; comfortable learning and troubleshooting within a company's chart of accounts.
- Advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills (pivot tables, lookups, waterfall/reconciliation models).
- A genuinely client-friendly communication style — able to have direct billing and collections conversations with clients while staying warm and professional.
- Strong organization and follow-through; comfortable owning a process with minimal oversight in a remote, small-team environment.
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field preferred.
Nice to Have:
- Experience in a subscription/SaaS business (recurring revenue, MRR concepts).
- Experience with Stripe or another payments platform.
- Exposure to sales commission plan administration.
- CPA-track or progress toward CPA/CMA.
We need to output HTML.

? But we only allowed for section headings. Could we use for subheadings? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should stick to for sections. For sub-sections we could use
with bold or just keep as list items with description. Could embed subheadings as within - . Simpler: keep responsibilities as a list with items that include the subheading text.
We could do:

That uses nested lists; still okay.
