About the role

We're looking for a Staff Accountant to join Miva's finance team, reporting directly to the Controller.

You will:

• Handle day-to-day transaction accounting in the general ledger, including accounts payable: code vendor invoices by GL account and department, prepare payment runs for Controller review, maintain vendor records and W-9s, and prepare 1099s.
• Manage corporate card and expense activity across Ramp and other company card programs: code transactions, follow up with team members on missing receipts, and reconcile statements each month.
• Review and record bank feed activity in QuickBooks Online daily and prepare monthly bank reconciliations for all operating and sweep accounts.
• Reconcile accounts receivable and undeposited funds between Maxio and QuickBooks Online each month, and work with the billing team to research and resolve differences.
• Prepare and post month-end close entries, including maintaining prepaid, fixed asset, and depreciation schedules, recording accruals and recurring journal entries, reconciling balance sheet accounts with supporting documentation, and completing assigned close checklist tasks on schedule for Controller review.
• Support the Controller on sales tax, including tracking obligations across the states where Miva has nexus, and reconciling Avalara to the general ledger.
• Maintain audit-ready documentation for your work and assist the Controller with audit and tax filing support as needed.
• Other duties and projects as assigned.

You have:

• Bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field, or equivalent experience is a must.
• 3+ years of accounting experience, including month-end close responsibilities.
• Working knowledge of accrual accounting under GAAP, including prepaids, fixed assets, and accruals.
• Experience using AI tools such as Claude in your accounting work, and interest in using AI to automate and improve recurring processes.
• Hands-on experience with QuickBooks Online or a comparable general ledger system.
• Intermediate Excel skills, including lookups, pivot tables, and building reconciliation schedules.
• Comfort reconciling data across more than one system, such as a billing platform, an expense tool,
  and a general ledger.
• Some exposure to sales tax basics, even if you haven't owned multi-state filings on your own yet.
• Solid attention to detail and the ability to meet close deadlines while working independently in a
  remote environment.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience with Maxio or a similar subscription billing and revenue recognition platform, such as Chargebee, Zuora, or Recurly.
• Experience with Ramp or another corporate card and expense management platform.
• Exposure to SaaS or ecommerce accounting, including subscription revenue recognition under ASC 606.
• Experience working on a lean finance team reporting directly to a Controller or CFO.
