Senior Accountant

Position Overview

The Senior Accountant will be the primary accounting resource for Skild AI's US and international operations, working hands-on across accounts payable, accounts receivable, invoicing, collections, payroll, and general ledger. This is an operational, individual-contributor role for someone equally comfortable processing an AP invoice and closing the books at month-end. You'll partner closely with the US-based Controller and Finance leadership to ensure accurate, timely financial reporting, and you'll take ownership working independently across time zones.

Responsibilities

• Process vendor invoices end-to-end (receipt, coding, approval, payment) and manage weekly payment runs, vendor records, and statement reconciliations
• Code all AP transactions to the correct cost center and GL account in Rillet and Rootstock ERP
• Generate and issue customer invoices, apply cash receipts, and maintain the AR subledger in QuickBooks, reconciling AR aging weekly
• Coordinate with the US Controller on revenue recognition treatment for customer contracts under ASC 606
• Own collections end-to-end: correspondence, activity tracking, escalations, and monitoring DSO trends for the Controller
• Own the full-cycle general ledger for the India subsidiary, including journal entries (accruals, prepayments, depreciation, intercompany) and monthly balance sheet reconciliations
• Lead month-end and quarter-end close for the India entity, delivering accurate financials and variance analysis within the close calendar
• Process and reconcile monthly payroll for India-based employees in QuickBooks, including statutory deductions (PF, ESI, PT, TDS) and coordination with HR on headcount changes
• Maintain audit-ready documentation under US GAAP and support external auditors during the annual audit
• Assist with sales and use, property, and income taxes alongside outside tax advisors, and ensure intercompany transactions are properly documented and reconciled monthly
• Serve as the primary Rillet and Rootstock user across entities, maintaining chart of accounts and vendor/customer masters, and drive process improvements and system migrations as the finance stack evolves

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting
• 5-8 years of hands-on accounting experience, with at least 2-3 years in a similar full-cycle role
• Proficiency in QuickBooks (Online), with demonstrated practical, day-to-day usage
• Strong working knowledge of US GAAP, particularly revenue recognition (ASC 606), accrual accounting, and financial statement preparation
• Proven experience personally processing AP, AR, collections, payroll entries, and GL journal entries — not just in a supervisory capacity
• Experience with full-cycle month-end and year-end close processes
• High proficiency in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUP, reconciliation tools)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with US-based leadership across time zones
• High attention to detail and personal accountability for accuracy
• CPA, CPA qualification, or in progress a plus
• Experience with intercompany accounting and multi-entity consolidations a plus
