Senior Accountant

Ever imagined saying, “I helped launch the future of transportation”?

We’re rewriting the rules of urban mobility. At Vay, customers tap a button and a car arrives - with no one inside - powered by our world-first Remote Driving technology on real public streets.

We’re live in Las Vegas and scaling fast, powered by a strategic investment of up to $410 million from Grab. Our mission is simple: replace private car ownership with a faster, cleaner, door-to-door mobility model. If you want to build something real, visible, and genuinely transformative, you’ll feel right at home here.

What’s happening at Vay

• First to roll out vehicles in both Europe and the USA on public roads without a human being inside & currently the 2nd largest commercial, driverless car fleet in the Western World.
• We've partnered with Kodiak to bring remote-driving technology to autonomous trucks in the US, showcasing our ability to integrate our system into heavy-duty commercial vehicles and expand the applications of our tech across the US.
• We’ve completed 10’s of thousands of trips so far and are busy multiplying our Las Vegas fleet just to meet demand!
• ...And soon we’ll be expanding across the US & Europe 🚀

Why this role is awesome

Accounting at Vay isn’t back-office bookkeeping. It’s a critical control point in a business operating across entities, currencies, and regulatory environments and it's scaling fast. As a Senior Accountant, you won’t just run the close. You’ll help design how we close. You’ll strengthen controls, improve systems, and build processes that hold up under growth, audits, and increasing complexity. This is a senior-level role for someone who wants real ownership in a scaling environment, not just execution, but influence.

What you’ll be driving

General Ledger & Month-End Ownership

• Own key GL areas through month-end close, including journal entries, reconciliations, and variance analysis.
• Ensure accuracy, timeliness, and transparency across reporting cycles.
• Identify and fix close inefficiencies before they become problems.

Multi-Entity & Technical Accounting

• Support multi-entity operations, including intercompany transactions, consolidations, and FX accounting.
• Strengthen documentation and controls around complex accounting areas.
• Act as a go-to resource for non-routine or technical accounting questions.

Audit & Compliance

• Support external audits and ensure clean, well-prepared deliverables.
• Improve audit readiness through stronger reconciliations, documentation, and controls.
• Prepare and review state and regulatory tax filings.

Systems & Process Improvement

• Drive accounting projects focused on systems optimization, close efficiency, and internal controls.
• Partner with FP&A on accrual accuracy and budget vs. actual reviews.
• Design scalable processes that hold up as transaction volume and complexity increase.

Team Support & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Advise junior accountants on complex transactions and best practices.
• Work cross-functionally with FP&A, Operations, and leadership to ensure financial clarity and discipline.

What we’re looking for

• 4+ years of accounting experience (public accounting and/or high-growth tech strongly preferred).
• Strong ownership of month-end close and audit preparation.
• Hands-on experience in multi-entity environments.
• Experience with NetSuite or a comparable ERP system.
• Proven ability to improve close processes and strengthen internal controls.
• Detail-oriented, proactive, and comfortable operating in a scaling startup.
• Strong collaborator who can influence stakeholders and navigate ambiguity.
• Fluent in English (written and verbal).

Nice to have

• Experience supporting ERP or finance system implementations.
• Exposure to consolidations and technical accounting topics.
• Inventory accounting experience.
