Accountant

About VeritaVerita AI (Verita Artificial Intelligence Corporation) is a San Francisco company poweringthe expert data layer behind frontier AI. We recruit, vet, and manage a global network ofdomain experts, from music producers to accountants to insurance specialists, whoproduce the training and evaluation data that leading AI labs depend on. Our platformhandles expert onboarding, verification, time tracking, and payments at scale acrossdozens of jurisdictions.

The Role

We are hiring our first accountant to own daily finance operations. The volume is real:hundreds of contractors around the world paid on weekly cycles, enterprise customersbilled from verified time data, and money moving constantly across our banking, card,payroll, and payout platforms. Today this work is split between the founders and outsidefirms.

You will take it over, keep the books clean and current, and become the person whoalways knows where every dollar came from and where it went.

You will work closely with our outsourced CFO and tax partners, and your work will feeddirectly into decisions the founders make every week.

What You’ll Do

• Billing and receivables. Prepare and send customer invoices, including weeklyinvoices built from verified time tracking data and project invoices for deliverables.

Work customer AP portals and finance teams: W-9s, approval flows, payment status,and follow up on overdue balances.

• Contractor payouts and payables. Process large contractor payout batches throughour EOR platform, review payout invoices before release, pay vendor bills, and keepapprovals and supporting documentation clean for every payment.
• Month end close. Own reconciliations across bank accounts, credit cards, payroll,and payout platforms. Close the books monthly with accruals for revenue andcontractor costs, and keep the close calendar on schedule.
• Clean books. Maintain accurate categorization in QuickBooks Online with a chart ofaccounts that supports reporting by customer and project. Messy historicalcategorization should bother you enough to fix it.
• Payroll support: Support payroll runs, resolve exemption and registration issues withour payroll provider, and reconcile payroll to the general ledger.
• Tax support. Prepare 1099s and W-9s, support R&D credit questionnaires, franchisetax, and annual filings, and be the main contact for our outside tax preparers.
• Audit ready records. Keep records that tie every invoice back to underlying time anddelivery data, so that any customer question, audit, or dispute can be answered withdocumentation instead of memory.
• Reporting and process. Build simple reporting the founders can rely on: cashposition, receivables aging, contractor cost by customer, and burn. Automate themanual steps as you go.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of accounting experience, ideally at a startup, marketplace, or servicesbusiness with high transaction volume.
• Strong command of QuickBooks Online and Excel or Google Sheets.
• Hands on experience with the tools we live in: Mercury or similar banking, Ramp orsimilar cards, Bill.com, Gusto, and Deel or another global payout platform.
• You have owned a monthly close and real reconciliations, not just observed them.
• Experience paying or billing for contractors, including 1099 reporting andinternational payouts.
• Extreme attention to detail and a habit of documenting as you go.
• Comfort operating independently in a fast moving environment where you are theaccounting team.

Nice to Have

• CPA, or progress toward one.
• Experience with usage or time based billing models.
• Experience supporting billing disputes, audits, or customer reconciliations withdocumentation.
• Experience working alongside an outsourced CFO or accounting firm.

Compensation and LocationCompetitive salary and equity, commensurate with experience.
