As a Staff Accountant on the Finance team at Skillshare, you’ll work directly alongside our Controller/ Director of Finance to ensure our financial operations and processes are primed to scale with our business. As the third member of the team you’ll have exposure to key significant transactions, and we’ll look to your executional expertise to manage our books and streamline processes.

We’re growing quickly (and expanding internationally!) and are excited to bring on someone who can play a key role in the financial accounting process.

What you'll do:

• Review invoices, expense reports, and capital expenditures as needed to ensure proper coding and accounting treatment by Accounts Payable
• Research and resolve any new or unusual cash activity, reconcile to third-party reports if available

• Execute ad hoc projects to help poise the business for scale

What you’ll need to be successful:

• Experience in a corporate/firm setting (bonus points for experience at a high-growth startup!)
• Excellent technical skills, particularly in navigating detailed system-generated source reports, downloading and manipulating data
• Extraordinary organizational and time-management skills, with high attention to detail and ability to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Confidence working independently, actively seeking mentorship as needed

Why you want this job:

• Impact: Our company is scaling quickly, and you’ll ensure our finance operations scale with us.
• Growth: You’ll have the opportunity to wear a lot of hats and take on more responsibility over time.
• Our team: We have a passionate, talented team that is a lot of fun to work with.
• Our mission: We’re doing work that matters – connecting lifelong learners around the world and empowering them to pursue their creativity.
