Staff Accountant (AP/AR)

About the Role

Clutch is hiring a Staff Accountant to own the day-to-day execution of our accounts payable and accounts receivable processes as we scale. You’ll be the primary owner of vendor invoicing and payments on the AP side, and customer billing, collections, and cash application on the AR side, working across QuickBooks Online, Sequence, and Salesforce.

This is an execution-focused role: you’ll follow, tighten, and document our AP/AR workflows day to day, becoming the go-to owner of invoicing, vendor payments, and cash application. More complex judgment calls (contract structuring, revenue recognition, deferred revenue) sit with our Senior Accountant and Accounting Manager, and you’ll partner closely with them as you grow into more advanced accounting work.

About the Team

The Accounting & Finance team is small, senior, and hands-on. We’re focused on creating accurate, efficient, and scalable accounting processes while delivering timely financial insights that support the business, and we work closely with FP&A, People, and Legal.

As a Staff Accountant, you’ll report directly to the Accounting Manager and be the team’s day-to-day owner of AP and AR execution, working closely with our Senior Accountant on the reconciliations and schedules that feed the monthly close.

If you’re excited about building in a fast-moving environment, thrive on accountability, and want to grow your technical accounting skills over time, we’d love to meet you.

What You’ll Do

Within 3 months, you will:

• Learn Clutch’s AP and AR workflows across QuickBooks Online, Sequence, and Salesforce, and become the primary processor for vendor invoices and customer billing.

• Own day-to-day AP: code and enter vendor invoices, process payment runs, and reconcile vendor statements.

• Own day-to-day AR: create and issue customer invoices from signed contracts, apply cash receipts, and monitor the AR aging report.

• Partner with the Senior Accountant and Accounting Manager to understand how AP and AR feed into the monthly close.

Within 6 months, you will:

• Manage a full AP payment cycle and AR collections cadence independently, flagging exceptions before they become problems.

• Reconcile the Sequence to QuickBooks billing data flow and resolve unmapped items.

• Support month-end AP/AR-related reconciliations and accruals, including accrued expenses and deferred revenue support schedules.

• Build stronger working relationships with Sales, Customer Success, and vendors to resolve billing and payment issues proactively.

Within 9 months, you will:

• Take ownership of process documentation for AP and AR workflows, identifying opportunities for automation.

• Support ASC 606 documentation for standard revenue contracts under the guidance of the Senior Accountant.

• Contribute to audit prep by compiling AP/AR schedules and supporting documentation.

• Take on expanded responsibilities as the accounting function scales, a natural growth path toward a Senior Accountant role.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

• 1–3 years of accounting experience, including exposure to accounts payable or accounts receivable processes.

• Working knowledge of U.S. GAAP fundamentals.

• Comfort with accounting and billing systems (QuickBooks Online, Sequence, Salesforce, or similar).

• Strong attention to detail and reliable follow-through on recurring processes.

• Proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables).

• Clear written and verbal communication, including with vendors and customers.

• A proactive, coachable mindset: you ask questions, follow through, and want to grow your technical accounting skills.

Please note that this role may evolve as our business needs change, so we appreciate your flexibility and adaptability.

What’s In It For You?

• Remote Flexibility: Enjoy the freedom of remote work from anywhere, balancing life and career seamlessly.

• Unforgettable Off-Sites: Twice a year, bond with colleagues in exciting destinations, fostering teamwork and fresh ideas.

• Paid Time Off: Enjoy flexible PTO days yearly for relaxation and rejuvenation.

• Stock Options: Joining us means having a stake in our success, so you'll receive stock options as part of your compensation package.

• Home Office Setup: Create your ideal workspace with a dedicated budget for home office essentials.

• Work Trip Budget: Grow personally and professionally with a budget for work-related trips and co-working.

• Health Coverage: Prioritize your well-being with comprehensive health and dental insurance plans.
