Overview
Planetary Scale partners with climate and energy-transition companies as their strategic finance arm, working alongside founders from seed through growth. We help them refine their business model, raise venture funding, manage their finances and get through the hardest moments on the path to scale.
For many of these companies, we also maintain their books, prepare financial reports, and handle day-to-day finance work like paying bills, invoicing customers and running payroll. Founders rely on us to get the numbers right and make sure everyone gets paid on time. That side of our work is growing, and we're hiring a Senior Accountant to take on a group of clients and work closely with the rest of our team to provide world-class finance function support.
The Role
You'll run the accounting and day-to-day finance work for several client companies at once, alongside a peer accountant who looks after a separate set of clients. For each company, you'll work with our engagement lead who owns the relationship, and often with the founder and their team directly. Our clients primarily use QuickBooks Online or Xero, plus bank, bill-pay and payroll tools. We also have a set of internally developed tools to make the monthly close process flow smoothly and help to share context across our accounting and strategic finance work.
You'll be in real client work from your first week, paired with experienced teammates while you learn each company's financial picture and the nuances of working with early-stage companies that are commercializing complex new technologies.
• You'll own the month-end close for each of your companies: reconciliations, accruals, prepaid
