Senior Accounting Associate
Twenty One Capital is a public company with a small team and a large balance sheet. We are seeking a Senior Accounting Associate to run the mechanics of the month-end close: journal entries, reconciliations, account analysis, and the supporting documentation behind each balance.
It is a hands-on seat with unusual exposure. On a Finance team this size, work prepared here goes directly into the company's external reporting and in front of external audit — so it is held to public-company standard from the first month, and the person doing it can see how what they prepare is used.
The measure of the role: the close lands on the calendar with every balance supported, and a reviewer can follow any account to its source without needing a conversation.
Close and general ledger
- Delivers the monthly, quarterly, and annual close to the calendar, working to the close checklist rather than to memory.
- Prepares and posts journal entries with supporting documentation attached at the point of posting, not assembled afterwards.
- Maintains the general ledger so transactions are recorded accurately, in the right period, and in the right account.
- Handles the recurring cycle: accruals, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, and intercompany accounting and reconciliations as the structure requires.
Reconciliation and analysis
- Prepares balance sheet reconciliations and investigates reconciling items to a cause. An item is cleared or explained, never carried forward.
- Performs account analysis and researches unusual or unexpected fluctuations before they are asked about.
- Maintains the supporting schedules behind balance sheet and income statement accounts, in a form the next person can pick up.
Reporting support
- Prepares the schedules and documentation that feed quarterly and annual reporting, to the external reporting timetable set by the Senior Manager, SEC Reporting & Accounting.
- Supports the preparation of financial statements and management reporting packages. External reporting is owned by the Senior Manager; this role supplies the substantiated inputs.
Audit, controls, and systems
- Owns audit requests allocated to this seat — prepared completely and on the date agreed, so the company is not the reason a request is outstanding.
- Operates the close controls as designed and supports SOX and other internal control activity.
- Improves what is manual. The role is expected to identify weak process, poor documentation, and avoidable effort, and to propose the fix rather than absorb the cost of it.
- Supports accounting systems work: implementation, configuration, and maintenance of the tools the close runs on.
Required qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance.
- Two or more years of progressive accounting experience.
- Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP.
- Advanced Microsoft Excel.
- Demonstrated attention to detail and self-directed follow-through.
- Clear written support for the work: a reviewer should not need a conversation to follow it.
Preferred qualifications
- CPA license, or active CPA candidate.
- Experience at a rapidly growing or publicly traded company.
- NetSuite or comparable ERP.
- Workiva or comparable SEC reporting and disclosure management software.
- Experience contributing to SOX 404 compliance.
- Familiarity with digital-asset accounting — a plus on top of solid GAAP fundamentals, not a substitute for them.
Compensation
The estimated salary for this role is $100,000-120,000. Actual placement within this range will depend on experience, skills, and qualifications.
