About The Position

Hi there! We’re looking for an Accountant to join the Accounting team at Zapier, with a focus on cash, revenue, and prepaids — three of the most critical areas of our financial operations. Zapier’s on a mission to make everyone more productive at work and has helped millions of people build businesses through automation. Our next Accountant will report to Luis Ulloa and play a key role in maintaining accurate financial records, supporting our month-end close, and helping us continue to build scalable processes as we grow. This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career accounting professional who has a strong foundation in debits and credits, wants meaningful ownership, and is eager to grow within a fast-paced SaaS environment. If you're looking to build your career at a profitable, impact-driven, automation-first company — read on.

Requirements

You have a strong accounting foundation.
You hold a degree in Accounting (or equivalent) and have 2+ years of experience in an accounting or general ledger role.
You’re confident in debits and credits and understand how transactions flow through the financial statements.
You’re ready for ownership.
You’re excited to take responsibility for critical areas like cash and revenue while continuing to learn and grow under strong mentorship.
You manage your time well.
You can juggle recurring responsibilities (like daily cash and revenue work) alongside monthly close tasks.
You prioritize effectively, meet deadlines, and know when to escalate issues rather than getting stuck.
You communicate clearly and proactively.
You’re comfortable working cross-functionally and asking thoughtful questions when something doesn’t look right.
You respond promptly and professionally and can clearly document your work.
You’re resourceful and coachable.
When you encounter something new, you research, ask questions, and leverage available tools — but you also recognize when it’s time to involve your manager.
You care about accuracy.
You enjoy reconciling accounts, investigating discrepancies, and ensuring transactions are recorded correctly.
You’re detail-oriented but developing your ability to see the broader business impact.
You enjoy improving processes.
You’re not satisfied with just completing tasks — you look for opportunities to automate, streamline, and make processes more efficient, especially in an automation-driven environment like Zapier.
