The Senior Accountant will manage all accounting functions, oversee monthly close processes, handle reconciliations, spend management, and maintain communication with tax accountants and auditors.
Alt is unlocking the value of alternative assets, starting with the $5 B trading-card market. We let collectors buy, sell, vault, and finance their cards in one place and we are backed by leaders at Stripe, Coinbase, Seven Seven Six, and pro athletes like Tom Brady and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Our next frontier is real-time pricing at scale—the Alt Value that powers every trade, loan, and product on the platform.
We are hiring a Senior Accountant who will fully own Alt’s accounting and monthly close. You will be a one-person accounting team as we continue to grow our our finance and accounting org, operating independently while partnering closely with Operations, Lending, and Leadership. You will build the finance backbone for a fast growing marketplace: accelerate the close, own smarter spend, and give leadership clear, real-time visibility.

- Present to leadership a weekly with concise commentary and trend charts, and deliver a month end Leadership Pack with P&L, balance sheet, cash, and flux analysis that highlights drivers, risks, and recommended actions
- Be the primary liaison to tax accountants and auditors: own audit and tax calendars, walkthroughs, sample requests, and timely responses; coordinate federal and state income and franchise filings, and 1099 compliance
- Maintain accounting policies, close checklists, reconciliations, and an approvals matrix; strengthen controls and documentation
- Take full ownership, communicate proactively, and like turning ambiguity into structure
- Enjoy building clean reconciliations and scalable checklists that others can follow

- Tools: QuickBooks Online, Stripe, banking portals; Google Workspace, Notion, Slack; Ramp
- Lending accounting exposure and reserve methodologies; experience with debt facility reporting
- Hands-on exposure to both accounting and finance processes with growth opportunities ahead
