Job Description

We’re looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Accounting Manager to join the finance team at Descript. This is an exciting opportunity for a strong Senior Accountant or newly promoted Accounting Manager to take ownership of the company’s core accounting operations and help shape the next stage of Descript’s financial maturity. Reporting directly to the Controller, this person will own the majority of the month-end close process — including cash, prepaids, fixed assets, accounts payable, accruals, and related reconciliations. Beyond the close, they’ll lead the day-to-day accounting operations across accounts payable, procurement, and accounts receivable, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance across all processes.

You’ll work cross-functionally with teams across Finance, RevOps, and People to streamline workflows, improve reporting accuracy, and help Descript build a best-in-class accounting function. The ideal candidate will bring strong operational accounting skills, a process-driven mindset, and a desire to implement scalable controls and systems that support a growing, operationally mature organization.
