Remote Senior Accountant

Description

Own the financial engine behind our two-sided ads marketplace.

At Thanks, we’re building a customer-first monetization platform that delivers growth without compromise - for advertisers, publishers, and consumers. We power growth for the world’s leading brands, delivering tens of millions of high-value “thanks” moments every month.

We’re hiring a Senior Accountant to own the day-to-day financial operations of the business, with a particular focus on revenue, billing, and financial accuracy.

This is a foundational role. You’ll manage how money moves through a complex, two-sided marketplace – across advertisers, affiliate platforms, and partners – ensuring everything is accurate, reconciled, and on time.

You’ll work closely with our Fractional CFO, but operate independently day-to-day. You’ll bring structure, reliability, and clarity to a critical part of the business.

What you’ll do

Own revenue, billing, and reconciliation: Manage end-to-end billing across advertisers and partners – including invoicing, payouts, and reconciliation across affiliate platforms (e.g. Impact, Rakuten). Ensure revenue is accurate, traceable, and complete.

Run clean, reliable financial operations: Own accounts payable and expense management. Ensure invoices are captured, approved, and paid on time. Build simple, effective processes that provide visibility and eliminate errors.

Support month-end close and reporting: Maintain clean, current books and support the monthly close. Partner with the Fractional CFO to deliver clear, reliable reporting and investor-ready outputs.

Own US payroll and compliance hygiene: Manage payroll via Rippling and ensure core US tax and compliance obligations are handled correctly. Keep processes clean, documented, and under control.

Improve systems and reduce manual work: Identify and implement improvements across the finance stack. Reduce manual inputs, streamline workflows, and build processes that scale.

Operate as a problem-solver: Work through ambiguity, resolve discrepancies, and keep things moving without waiting for perfect inputs.

Requirements

What we’re looking for

• 3–6 years’ experience in accounting or finance, with strong foundational training
• Degree-qualified in accounting, finance, or similar
• Experience handling revenue, billing, invoicing, or reconciliation
• Experience operating in fast-moving, ambiguous or unstructured environments (startup, scaleup, or consulting)
• Comfortable working with multi-party or performance-based revenue flows (e.g. marketplaces, affiliate, adtech, fintech)
• Strong grasp of core accounting processes (AP, AR, month-end close)
• Comfortable owning processes end-to-end and being accountable for outcomes
• High attention to detail with a focus on accuracy and completeness
• Ability to identify issues, work through ambiguity, and resolve discrepancies independently
• Track record of improving processes and reducing manual work
• Experience with accounting tools such as Xero, QuickBooks, or similar
• Clear and direct communicator

Nice to have

• Experience with affiliate platforms (e.g. Impact, Rakuten, CJ, Partnerize)
• Exposure to multi-entity or multi-currency environments
• Background in adtech, marketplaces, or performance-based revenue models
• Experience in an early-stage startup environment

Location & working style

• Strong preference for US West Coast-based candidates to enable effective collaboration across time zones
• Open to other US locations for exceptional candidates
• Remote-first, with a high degree of trust and ownership
  

Benefits

Why Thanks?

What makes this role different:

Own a critical part of the business: Revenue, billing, and cash flow are core to how we operate. You’ll own how this works day-to-day.

Operate with autonomy and support: Work independently day-to-day, with guidance from an experienced Fractional CFO.

Foundational role with real impact: You’re building a system that scales.

High standards, low ego: We operate with urgency, clarity, and empathy.

Competitive package: Competitive salary plus ESOP, with scope to grow your role as the company grows.

Built for flexibility: Remote-first US team with clear expectations and high trust.

We’re building something deliberately - not copying what already exists. If you’re someone who takes ownership, solves problems, and cares about getting the details right, we’d love to hear from you.

Let’s build something extraordinary together.
