Accountant

TL;DR: This is not a back-office accounting role. You'll own key parts of our close and reporting processes at a critical moment in Conduct's growth — helping us build a financial foundation that's accurate, audit-ready, and actually useful for decision-making. Real ownership, real impact, from day one. WHY CONDUCT We believe the world's largest companies should move at the speed of their ideas, not the speed of the decade-old systems they run on. Today they don't. Every process change, every new product line runs into SAP systems layered with decades of custom code and complexity no human mind can fully comprehend. New requirements take months to ship, system migrations cost $100M+ and years of pain. We're building the AI operating system that absorbs this complexity and gives enterprises back their speed and ambition. Major enterprises already trust us with their most critical systems, we've closed game-changing SI partnerships, just raised a $60M Series A, and demand is outpacing what we can service. We're a small, talent-dense team doing our life's work out of London and NYC. Extreme ownership, high velocity, low-ego collaboration. What you build here shapes the company and how the world's largest companies operate. We sponsor visas and are convinced diverse teams build better products, so we especially encourage underrepresented groups in tech to reach out. WHAT YOU'LL OWN You'll own key accounting areas end-to-end, partner closely with our founders and legal counsel, and help build the controls and processes that will carry us through our next stage of growth. In practice: * Own key parts of the monthly and quarterly close: journal entries, reconciliations, and flux analysis * Take end-to-end ownership of assigned accounting areas: cash, accruals, payroll, capitalised commissions, fixed assets, or revenue-related balances * Prepare financial analyses and reporting packages, and make sure accounting results stay aligned with forecasts and business drivers * Improve and automate close processes, internal controls, and reporting workflows. If something is manual and slow, you find a way to make it scalable * Support audit and review processes, preparing documentation and fielding auditor inquiries WHO WE HIRE We're looking for someone who takes real ownership of their work and brings both the technical rigour and the commercial awareness to make accounting a genuine business partner, not just a reporting function. In practice that tends to look like: * 4+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally in high-growth tech or startup environments, but not a requirement. You know what it means to close fast and close clean. * Detail-oriented and analytical. You're comfortable owning work end-to-end and you don't let things slip through. * A builder's instinct. You improve processes as you run them and you're genuinely interested in automation and AI-enabled workflows. * Strong communicator who collaborates well across Finance and the wider business. Nice to have: Big 4 or high-growth tech company background, CPA or equivalent certification, and exposure to revenue or product accounting.
