Accounting manager

Jerry
Chicago, IL

You could be an accounting manager anywhere. Why Jerry.ai?

  • Join a pre-IPO startup with capital, traction and runway ($240M funded | 60X revenue growth in 5 years | $2T market size)

  • Work closely with serial entrepreneurs and brilliant leaders from companies like Deloitte, KPMG, McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Amazon, Andreessen Horowitz, Facebook, Alibaba, Microsoft, Nvidia, NerdWallet, etc.

  • Opportunity to take us to a $10B market cap business and a household name in the next few years

  • Be immersed in a talent-dense environment and greatly accelerate your career growth

About the Opportunity:

We’re looking for an exceptional Accounting Manager to lead our accounting operations at a pivotal time in our journey. In early 2024, we reached profitability — a major milestone — and now we’re setting our sights even higher: scaling from 5M to 50M customers and building a $10B business.

As a late-stage, fast-growing startup with IPO ambitions, we’re expanding our financial infrastructure and hiring someone to own one of our most complex and critical areas — revenue recognition. This is a hands-on role that requires strong technical expertise in ASC 606, deep data fluency, and the ability to operate across multiple systems and revenue streams. You’ll be instrumental in building scalable processes that support timely, accurate, and audit-ready reporting. You’ll also partner closely with teams across Data, Engineering, Finance, and play a key role in helping us meet public company standards.

Jerry is building the first super app to make car ownership affordable and accessible – insurance, buy/sell, registration, loans, safety, repairs, parking, etc – a $2T market in the U.S. We started with insurance in 2019, and since then we’ve launched loan refinancing, driving insights, repair marketplace, car diagnostics, and a GenAI-powered chatbot & voicebot. We have amassed over 5M customers, raised $240MM in funding, scaled our revenue 60X and our team to 225 across 6 countries.

How you will make an impact:

  • Ensure timely and accurate month-end close and reporting for a significant portion of our accounting operations, with a focus on revenue related accounts.

  • Understand and provide interpretations of new accounting pronouncements and assess whether they are applicable to the Company. Prepare technical accounting memos for significant transactions.

  • Review the work of junior team members and provide coaching and mentorship.

  • Collaborate with internal departments to develop best-in-class processes for various areas within accounting and financial operations.

  • Partner with cross-functional teams in data and engineering to enhance data quality and streamline revenue reporting from multiple systems.

  • Collaborate with external auditors, providing support for audit and SOX compliance activities.

  • Assist with special projects including ERP optimization, internal control development, and IPO or public company readiness (if applicable).

Ideal profile:

  • CPA, Bachelor’s degree in Accounting required;

  • 5+ years experience required;

  • Big 4 background and/or experience at a high-growth tech company preferred;

  • Knowledge of technical accounting topics including ASC 606, ASC 842, ASC 350-40 - preferred;

  • High comfort with high transaction volume and data complexity;

  • Strong systems mindset — experience with ERP systems (e.g. NetSuite), revenue tools (off the shelf or custom-built systems), and ability to work across disconnected systems;

  • Tech forward, experience and desire to utilize AI and latest technologies to build scalable operations a plus;

  • Roll up the sleeves can do attitude;

  • Detail-oriented with strong analytical and organizational skills;

  • Strong leadership, problem solving and communication skills working cross functionally.
