Senior Accountant

This is a senior individual contributor role on the general ledger team. You'll own major close workstreams end-to-end, draft accounting policies, and work closely with the Accounting Manager and Financial Systems Engineer to shape how Base's books get built. The role grows with the business - more entities, more complexity, more scope.

What You’ll Do:

• Prepare and review journal entries, accruals, and reconciliations across the GL - own assigned workstreams from data pull to flux explanation.
• Run assigned areas of the monthly close end-to-end - set the schedule for your areas, hit it, and document what you did.
• Contribute to the accounting policies and SOPs the team operates against - write down what works so the next person inherits a system.
• Partner with the Accounting Manager and Financial Systems Engineer on close automation, ERP improvements, and AI-assisted reconciliation.
• Support audit and technical accounting work - pull the support, walk the auditor through it, and translate the GAAP into plain language for non-finance stakeholders.

What You’ll Bring:

• 3-7 years of accounting experience at a high-growth company, top public accounting firm or equivalent.
• Strong GAAP fluency and the disposition to dig in on a technical question rather than route it up.
• Extreme attention to detail with a high regard for precision.
• Familiarity with NetSuite or comparable ERP; comfort with spreadsheets and openness to AI tooling that takes repetitive work out of the close.
• Comfort working independently on assigned areas and wanting more scope as Base scales; CPA or progress toward it a plus.
