Getting together with real people in real life makes powerful things happen. Side hustles become careers, ideas become movements, and chance encounters become lifelong connections. Meetup brings people together to create thriving communities. Show up. Change lives.

Meetup is looking for a detail oriented Staff Accountant to support the timely completion of accounting functions including our monthly close, account reconciliations, and financial reporting requirements. Our Staff Accountant will report to the Accounting Manager and will crosstrain with the other members of the Finance team to get a full picture view of Meetup’s Finance operations.

  • Maintain supporting workpapers for each GL account

  • Contribute to a library of process and internal control documentation

  • Suggest and implement process improvements to build efficiencies into existing processes

  • Work closely with the entire Finance team (including Financial Planning & Analysis) and act as a backup for critical roles and responsibilities, including AR, AP and Payroll

  • Partner with WeWork Finance to align on best in class practices and to develop/produce intercompany reporting packages

  • Assist in various Finance-led ad-hoc requests

Who You Are

  • Bachelor’s Degree (minimum) in Accounting

  • CPA strongly preferred

  • 3-5 years of related business experience, preferably with a mix of public (Big 4/mid-tier preferred) and private

  • Strong accounting US GAAP knowledge, familiarity with GL software and financial statements

  • Technologically savvy; MS Excel mastery required

  • Excellent communication and presentation skills; strong interpersonal skills

  • Extremely organized with strong attention to detail

  • Demonstrated ability to effectively organize, prioritize, and perform multiple tasks with varying deadlines simultaneously and under time constraints

  • Ability and desire to roll up your sleeves and be hands-on in an entrepreneurial fast-paced environment; you’re a self-starter who loves wearing different hats and have an enthusiastic spirit that no job is too big or too small

  • Must be a team player and a fast learner, who works effectively and is able to juggle a variety of responsibilities

Our team is bold, supportive, and passionate about bringing people together in real life to create community for everyone. We care about moving fast, real-world change, and building diverse, dynamic teams. You in?

An Insider's view of Meetup

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

Meetup promotes a healthy balance and respect around work life, personal life, and family life. It's not simply policy but instead, the culture that lives with all employees (managers and leaders included). Work happens during our traditional business hours.

Harry Chiu

Head of Recruiting

What does your typical day look like?

As an engineer at Meetup, my mission is to build things that help product teams focus on our users and develop our product faster and with better quality. My team mob programs or pair programs by default, which works great for us because it increases code and architecture, knowledge sharing, focus, productivity and team bonding.

Jaclyn Jiménez

How does the company support your career growth?

I created my own professional development path by participating in the Employee Resource Group and Diversity & Inclusion council. Participating and organizing these company initiatives allowed me to stretch my leadership muscles, understand the value of empathizing with my colleagues, and appreciate the ability to use my voice to influence change.

What's something quirky about your company?

What I enjoy the most about working at Meetup is the people. As a mission driven company with a focus on building community, our community sets a great example. I consider myself incredibly lucky to work amongst such incredible individuals. I feel seen, supported, and empowered to not only be my unique self, but to make the changes I know I can.
