## Description

Our mission at Duolingo is to develop the best education in the world and make it universally available. We're looking for a Staff Accountant to support our best-in-class accounting organisation as Duolingo grows.

As a Staff Accountant, you'll own defined portions of the monthly close, prepare reconciliations with clear support, and help strengthen processes and controls so our financials are accurate, timely, and audit-ready. You'll partner with FP&A and cross-functional teams, communicate status and issues clearly, and contribute to practical automation in our tools and workflows.

Key responsibilities include:

- Preparing and posting routine and non-routine journal entries with proper support; ensuring accuracy and timely submission within tight close timelines.

- Reconciling assigned balance sheet accounts monthly, maintaining audit-ready documentation, and promptly resolving reconciling items.

- Assisting with P&L variance analyses; surfacing drivers and providing clear, concise explanations to FP&A and business partners.

- Performing all processes and procedures in accordance with Duolingo policy and SOX controls.

- Identifying practical automation/efficiency opportunities in our tools (e.g., ERP and reconciliation platforms) to shorten close timelines and reduce manual work.

We're looking for someone with 2-4 years of progressive accounting experience, working knowledge of US GAAP and accounting month-end close best practices, and proficiency with Google Sheets/Excel and an ERP (e.g., NetSuite).

If you're interested in joining our team, please apply with your resume and a cover letter explaining why you'd be a great fit for this role.
