Financial Accountant

This is not a traditional accounting role focused on maintaining legacy systems. At Volta, you will help build the finance function from first principles, contributing to the design of processes, controls, and reporting in a business deploying capital at global scale. Working closely with the Senior Financial Accountant and the wider Financial Accounting and Transactional Function, you will play a key role in delivering accurate financial reporting while supporting the build-out of a scalable, best-in-class accounting environment across multiple jurisdictions.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the execution of the monthly financial close
• Prepare and post accrual, prepayment, payroll, capex, revenue, and FX entries, among others
• Prepare balance sheet reconciliations for review
• Support transactional processing
• Support internal financial reporting
• Assist in building and documenting financial controls, accounting policies, and governance frameworks
• Track capital spend and asset capitalization
• Support external reporting
• Contribute to the implementation and optimization of ERP/accounting systems
• Assist with tax compliance, indirect tax (e.g., VAT/sales tax) returns, and regulatory filings across jurisdictions
• Maintain and enhance the general ledger and chart of accounts

Requirements

• CPA (or equivalent)
• Audit background
• 2–5 years of post-qualification experience
• Strong technical accounting knowledge, including U.S. GAAP (IFRS exposure is a plus)
• Experience with month-end close and financial reporting
• High attention to detail and strong analytical skills
• Ability to operate in a fast-paced, high-growth, capital-intensive environment
• Strong Excel skills; ERP experience is a plus

Nice to Have

• Experience in infrastructure, energy, or data center environments
• Exposure to multi-entity, international accounting environments
• Experience in a startup or scale-up environment

What Makes This Role Different

• Build, not maintain: Help create processes and controls from scratch
• Operate at scale: Work in an environment where decisions impact significant capital deployment
• High ownership: Direct exposure to senior leadership
• Low bureaucracy: Fast decision-making and clear accountability
