Staff Accountant

About the role

We are looking for an Accountant to support the day-to-day accounting function at TENEX as we scale. Reporting to the Director of Finance / Operations, you will be a hands-on contributor across month-end close, the general ledger, and accounts payable and receivable — helping ensure the integrity of our books and the timeliness of our close.

Core Responsibilities

• Prepare journal entries, accruals, prepaid amortization, and depreciation as part of the monthly and quarterly close.

• Reconcile general ledger accounts — including cash, prepaids, accruals, and AP/AR subledgers — and research reconciling items.

• Maintain the accuracy and completeness of the GL, supporting a timely close against established timelines and checklists.

• Help maintain the chart of accounts to support scalable, audit-ready reporting.

• Manage the order-to-cash cycle: customer invoicing, billings, cash application, and collections and aging follow-up.

• Review employee expense reports and corporate card activity for policy compliance and proper coding.

• Own the full accounts payable cycle: vendor onboarding, bill and invoice processing, approval workflows, payment runs, and 1099 support, leveraging a highly automated system to process.

• Respond to vendor and customer inquiries professionally, researching and resolving discrepancies promptly.

• Ensure that work complies with US GAAP and applicable federal and state tax requirements.

• Identify and implement opportunities to streamline and automate AP/AR and close processes, including AI-enabled workflows.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.

• 2+ years of progressive accounting experience; SaaS, technology, or high-growth environments preferred.

• Solid understanding of US GAAP

• Hands-on experience with cloud-based accounting platforms and ERPs (e.g., QuickBooks, Rillet, NetSuite, or equivalent).

• Advanced proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets; comfortable working with large data sets and building reusable reporting.

• Salesforce experience is a plus, particularly for deal-processing workflows.

• Detail-oriented self-starter with strong organization and the ability to meet recurring deadlines.

• Clear, confident communicator able to translate accounting concepts for non-finance stakeholders.

• Naturally curious, highly collaborative, and comfortable operating in a fast-changing environment.
