REQUIREMENTS

About You

  • You have at least two years of accounting experience under your belt. This isn’t your first rodeo. You likely won’t have dealt with everything you’ll encounter at Zapier, but you have a background of experiences that guide your decision making and you can use that to make smart decisions.
  • You are willing to take on any task. Zapier is a fast growing and nimble team. You’ll be part of an accounting team of three working alongside our CFO and our Tax Accountant. You’re eager to take on any project that comes your way no matter how big or how small.

  • You’re resourceful. When you encounter a task you haven’t done before, you know how to use Google, your network, your teammates knowledge and whatever other resources available to find a good path forward.
  • You are detailed-oriented. You love getting into the nitty-gritty, but also have the ability to take a step back and see the bigger picture.

Things You Might Do

Zapier is a small, fast-growing, and remote-first company, so you’ll likely get experience on many different projects across the organization. That said, here are some things you’ll probably do:

  • Assist with monthly accounting and bookkeeping (expense categorization and classification, reconciling accounts, monthly journal entries, etc.)
  • Help maintain compliance in each state Zapier has nexus (registrations, annual reports, franchise tax, sales tax) and keep up to date on all the new laws.
  • Maintain and improve the equipment purchasing process along with the fixed asset system.
  • Assist with additional accounting duties where needed such as the deferred revenue calculation, employee reimbursements, wires and payments.
  • As part of our All Hands Support initiative, help customers have the best experience with Zapier as possible.

How To Apply

We have a non-standard application process. To jump-start the process we ask a few questions we normally would ask at the start of an interview. This helps speed up the process and lets us get to know you a bit better right out of the gate.

After you apply, you are going to hear back from us, even if we don’t seem like a good fit. In fact, throughout the process, we strive to make sure you never go more than seven days without hearing from us.
