About Silo
Help us rebuild the oldest system in the world - the agricultural supply chain
Silo builds technologies which bring efficiency and transparency to the agricultural supply chain. Our modern ERP dramatically increases profits, improves product freshness, and reduces food waste for wholesalers, distributors, shippers, and importers.
We are a highly motivated team of engineers, designers, business and agricultural specialists taking on the challenge of transforming a centuries old industry. We are looking for self-motivated team members who crave a challenge and feel energized to work cross functionally to realize Silo’s enormous potential.
Why Silo
We will work hard to make sure your decision to join us is worthwhile and rewarding. You’ll learn how a start-up operates and learn skills that will help you at any point in your career. You will be empowered to take initiative and get support to execute an idea from beginning to the end.
The Role
We are a private equity-backed B2B SaaS company seeking an experienced Senior Accountant to own our monthly close and the accounting that sits above day-to-day transaction processing. Reporting to the Finance Manager, you will own the full accounting cycle across a multi-entity organization, exercising GAAP judgment, resolving issues independently, and producing reports our leadership and board can rely on.
You will also support the Finance Manager on planning, budgeting, and variance analysis, contributing the clean, reliable data and analysis those processes depend on without owning the plan itself. This is a high-trust, high-autonomy role for a seasoned accountant who has personally run a complete month-end close and is ready to own execution end to end as we scale and modernize our finance function.
What You’ll Do
- Own the monthly close end to end. Set and run the close calendar; prepare journal entries, accruals, prepaids, and deferred revenue; and reconcile all balance sheet and P&L accounts.
- Own GAAP-compliant revenue recognition (ASC 606) across multiple product lines and subscription/hardware arrangements, including deferred revenue schedules and the treatment of new or modified contracts.
- Maintain the general ledger across multiple entities, including intercompany transactions and eliminations.
- Reconcile and resolve variances independently (bank, credit card, intercompany, balance sheet), investigating and clearing root causes rather than just flagging them.
- Audit supporting schedules and models in Excel (deferred revenue waterfalls, accrual and prepaid schedules, reconciling support).
- Support FP&A in partnership with the Finance Manager. Provide inputs to the annual operating budget and planning process and contribute the clean, reliable data the model depends on, supporting rather than owning the plan.
- Support monthly variance analysis (actuals vs. budget and forecast), helping investigate and explain the drivers behind the numbers.
- Provide analytical support for ad hoc analysis and decision support.
- Support audit, tax, and investor/sponsor reporting requests.
- Other duties as assigned by the Finance Manager
What You Bring
- 5–7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including personal ownership of a full month-end close (accountable for delivery, not just assigned tasks).
- Hands-on ASC 606 / SaaS revenue recognition and deferred revenue experience in a subscription business.
- Multi-entity accounting: consolidations, intercompany, and eliminations.
- Strong technical US GAAP foundation, with the judgment to determine correct treatment without a template.
- Demonstrated independent variance resolution: a track record of running down and clearing reconciling items.
- Moderate-to-advanced Excel (pivot tables, lookups, multi-tab models; building and auditing schedules from scratch).
- Ability to operate from priorities with minimal supervision in a fast-moving environment.
- Excellent written communication for a remote team.
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with Rillet and/or QuickBooks.
- ERP migration or finance systems implementation experience.
- PE-backed or high-growth SaaS environment (ARR, multi-entity scale).
- CPA, or active progress toward it.
- Ag / AgTech or field-services industry exposure.
- Exposure to BI or dashboarding tools.
Details
- Remote, US-based.
- Full-time.
- Reports to the Finance Manager.
- Compensation: $75,000–$85,000.
We are committed to building a diverse team of people from a wide variety of backgrounds, and encourage anyone to apply.
