Description
ElevenLabs is building its Finance function from the ground up, and as we scale toward a public-company-ready accounting infrastructure, the stakes are high. As our Technical Accountant, you will be the go-to resource for US GAAP guidance across the organisation – researching complex standards, drafting technical memos, and helping the business navigate new transactions, structures, and reporting requirements with clarity and confidence.
This is a generalist technical accounting role. You will cover everything from equity and stock-based compensation to revenue recognition, leases, and emerging product structures – working directly with the Financial Controller, Legal, FP&A, and external auditors. The right candidate has done this before in a fast-moving, pre-IPO or recently public environment, and is ready to build the technical foundation that will carry ElevenLabs through its next stage.
Responsibilities:
- Research and apply complex US GAAP standards across a broad set of standards – ASC 606, ASC 718, ASC 842, ASC 805, ASC 360, and related areas
- Draft and defend technical accounting memos and position papers
- Build or contribute to an internal controls environment, ideally in a pre-IPO or public company context
- Translate complex accounting positions into clear, actionable guidance for non-accounting stakeholders
Requirements:
- Strong working knowledge of US GAAP across a broad set of standards – ASC 606, ASC 718, ASC 842, ASC 805, ASC 360, and related areas
- Demonstrated experience researching, drafting, and defending technical accounting memos and position papers
- Experience building or contributing to an internal controls environment, ideally in a pre-IPO or public company context
- CPA, ACA, or ACCA qualification (active); Big 4 or public accounting background strongly preferred
- Ability to translate complex accounting positions into clear, actionable guidance for non-accounting stakeholders
Bonus:
- Prior experience at a pre-IPO or recently public technology company navigating S-1 readiness and PCAOB audit
- Familiarity with multi-entity consolidated reporting, FX accounting (ASC 830), and intercompany eliminations
- NetSuite or comparable ERP experience
