Mercor
Accounting Manager
Mercor
is a profitable Series C company valued at $10 billion that partners with leading AI labs to provide human intelligence essential to AI development. We work in‑person five days a week in our new San Francisco headquarters.
About The Role The Accounting Manager reports directly to the Controller and partners closely to build a high‑quality, audit‑ready accounting function from the ground up. While the Controller owns audit readiness, month‑end close, and direct coordination with external auditors, the Accounting Manager plays a critical supporting role in preparing the company for its first external audit through process documentation and compilation of PBCs, including areas such as stock‑based compensation and leases.
This role requires strong technical accounting skills, public accounting experience, and the ability to thrive in a fast‑paced startup environment. It’s an opportunity to contribute, take ownership of supporting workstreams, and help shape scalable processes in a high‑growth company.
What You’ll Do
Partner with the Controller on the monthly close calendar and coordinate cross‑functional deliverables.
Review journal entries and reconciliations prepared by internal staff and external support teams.
Prepare the monthly reporting package including financial statements, flux analyses, and KPI tie‑outs.
Ensure GL accuracy and completeness across revenue, equity, expenses, and assets.
Oversee administration of equity compensation programs using Carta and maintain accurate cap table and equity records.
Support equity accounting and reporting requirements, including ASC 718, audits, and period‑end close.
Partner with Legal, HR, and Payroll to ensure equity activity aligns with plan documents and approvals.
Oversee accounting for the company’s foreign entity, ensuring compliance with local GAAP and alignment with U.S. GAAP.
Review consolidation entries and reconciliations for intercompany balances and support FX remeasurement and translation adjustments.
Conduct technical accounting analyses across revenue, equity, capitalization, and leases and review schedules, supporting documentation, and analyses prepared by internal staff and external support teams to ensure accuracy and completeness.
What We’re Looking For
5–8+ years progressive accounting experience, with a combination of public accounting and high‑growth startup experience.
Strong U.S. GAAP knowledge, with depth in ASC 606 (Revenue) and ASC 718 (Stock‑Based Compensation).
Experience supporting month‑end close processes and preparing management reporting packages.
Hands‑on experience assisting with audits and working directly with external auditors.
Strong process design, documentation, and internal control mindset.
High judgment, strong sense of ownership, and comfort operating in ambiguous environments.
Excellent organizational and communication skills with strong attention to detail.
Ability to operate effectively in a fast‑paced, evolving environment.
Professional, adaptable, and proactive approach to change.
Why Join
Be a key partner in building a scalable, audit‑ready accounting function.
Gain exposure to technical accounting areas critical for growth‑stage companies.
Work directly with leadership in a fast‑paced, high‑growth startup environment.
