At Meow, we provide startups with business accounts, corporate cards, and the clean financial reporting they need to operate and raise capital. Early-stage companies often don’t need a full-time accountant, but they do need reliable books and investor-ready numbers. We bundle bookkeeping, tax, and reporting into a simple finance-in-a-box solution so founders can focus on building.
We’re hiring an Accounting Lead who wants real ownership in a fast-moving startup environment. You’ll manage startup clients, ensuring their month-end close is accurate, on time, and scalable. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on autonomy, systems thinking, and direct collaboration with founders.
Responsibilities:
Manage client relationships
Owning the creation, review, and issuance of flawless and timely monthly financials for 20-40 clients
Managing and training preparer team for bullet-proof financials and strong client margins
Communicating with clients via Slack and Email: answering questions, obtaining information for closes, etc
Cleaning and setting up new sets of books for newly signed clients
Qualifications:
3-5 years of accounting experience
Strong understanding of month-end close and financial reporting
Experience reviewing the work of others (bookkeepers or junior accountants)
Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple clients simultaneously
Clear communicator, comfortable working directly with founders
This is a high-autonomy role where you’ll truly own your portfolio and have the autonomy to improve how work gets done. You’ll work directly with innovative, early-stage startups, gaining rare exposure to how companies operate while they’re scaling. Because of the responsibility and client volume, you’ll develop faster than in a traditional accounting role, building skills in prioritization, systems design, and stakeholder management in a fast-moving environment.
