As our Accounting Analyst, you will:

• Examine vendor spend across departments and recommend efficiencies
• Review executed customer contracts and update internal Salesforce records
• Maintain internal product-level P&Ls
• Own and manage tech cost tracking and reporting
• Update and manage COGS allocations
• Own commissions calculations and reporting
• Own the review and approval process of employee expense reports
• Perform account reconciliations and analysis
• Assist with our yearly financial audit and other ad hoc projects

You are likely to succeed if you have:

• At least 2 years experience as a bookkeeper in a fast-paced environment (prior experience working at a start-up is a big plus!)
• Bachelor's degree required
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills and attention to detail
• Experience with Netsuite or other cloud-based accounting software
• Experience with Salesforce a plus
• Intermediate Excel skills
• Knowledge of GAAP
• Commitment to continuously improving yourself, and to elevating your peers

What We Offer:

• Our compensation package includes equity and highly competitive salary
• We care about your personal life and we mean it. We offer flexible work hours, unlimited vacation, a generous 401K match, parental leave, team events, wellness budget, learning reimbursement, and more!
• Your growth at YipitData is determined by the impact that you are making, not by tenure, unnecessary facetime, or office politics. Everyone at YipitData is empowered to learn, self-improve, and master their skills in an environment focused on ownership, respect, and trust.
