## Description

We are looking for an experienced accountant to own Equity Accounting and Reporting at Anthropic, based in San Francisco.

You will be the one owner of equity accounting numbers across US GAAP, IFRS and local GAAP in every jurisdiction where we have employees holding equity: expense booking by entity, intercompany recharge booking, current and deferred tax on equity, and the equity footnote and local statutory disclosures, prepared once and reused.

You will own equity reporting data from Shareworks, our equity administration platform, through to the ledgers, while staying hands-on: preparing and reviewing close materials, owning your own accounts, and serving as the first escalation point for the judgment calls in your domain.

Share-based compensation (SBC) is one of the most cross-functional areas of our reporting. Grants, vesting, exercises and the events that follow each carry requirements for US GAAP, IFRS and local GAAP expense, pushdown and recharge postings, tax provisioning, payroll withholding, transfer pricing and statutory disclosure, and those needs are met across Equity Administration, Equity Reporting, Accounting, Treasury, Tax, Transfer Pricing and Global Payroll from a single set of award-level records.

This is a build role: you will take the open workstreams from manual to automated, work with Finance Systems and Shareworks to build the reports each stage needs, finalize the policies and agreements that sit behind recharges, and bring the end-to-end process to a scalable, efficient and fully compliant close.

## Key responsibilities

- Close ownership: Own the equity portfolio through month-end and quarter-end close: US GAAP, IFRS and local GAAP equity expense, pushed down and booked by entity, including reconciliations, journal entries and variance commentary.

- Technical accounting and policy: Write, own and maintain the accounting policies and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for equity across US GAAP, IFRS and local GAAP.

- Controls: Design and operate Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) controls across equity expense, recharges and deferred tax.

- Systems and automation: Anticipate changes in reporting needs and work with Finance Systems and Shareworks to build them.

- Cross-functional partnership: Partner with Equity Administration, Equity Reporting, Accounting, Treasury, Tax, Transfer Pricing and Global Payroll.

## Minimum qualifications

- Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or equivalent professional accounting qualification.

- Deep, hands-on experience with stock-based compensation under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (ASC 718), IFRS 2 and local GAAP.

- Experience owning a portfolio of accounts through close in a public company or pre-initial public offering (IPO) environment.

## Preferred qualifications

- Progressive accounting experience that combines Big 4 audit with time at a high-growth or startup company.

- A clear point of view on how artificial intelligence (AI) tools can eliminate low-value accounting work, and a track record of putting it into practice.

The annual compensation range for this role is $230,000-$300,000 USD.
