About the Role

Accounting post-Basis looks different. You will be part of a specialized team that will lead the charge into the new reality.

While you won't be an accountant in this role, you will work closely with Basis' customers at the cross section of go-to-market, product, implementation, and engineering to understand problems and transform accounting workflows.

The key to success on this team is being able to see around corners and think about how accounting processes should evolve in an AI world - rather than limiting to what they are today.

This requires a clear conception of what the fundamentals of accounting consist of, an ability to quickly understand disparate workflows, and the vision to redefine current process.

What We Look For

Command of accounting : Quick to understand a wide variety of accounting workflows and help customers problem-solve

Process-oriented : Skilled at breaking down complex problems into clear and repeatable steps and managing execution

Strong communicator : Clear at explaining concepts and comfortable collaborating with both senior and junior stakeholders

First principles reasoner : Basis is not a normal company; we are building net-new capabilities and assumptions need to be questioned. We look for people who do not just know what things have worked before, but can apply those lessons to new situations

Company-builder : Excited to lay the groundwork, technically and culturally, as we rapidly scale

Excited about AI in accounting : Excited about the possibilities of how AI can transform accounting practices

Office lover : Prefers shouting across a room over a slack message, seeking full-time in-office in NYC

All-in : This is not a 9-5, we have a massive opportunity ahead of us and are looking to further accelerate our velocity. We are optimizing for the best folks and happy to compensate generously

In accordance with New York State regulations, the salary range for this position is $100,000$300,000. This range represents our broad compensation philosophy and covers various responsibility and experience levels. Additionally, all employees are eligible to participate in our equity plan and benefits program. We are committed to meritocratic and competitive compensation.
