What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Accountant position at A2Z?
About A2Z Sync
A2Z Sync is building the operating system for U.S. automotive retail — a market measured in trillions, still operating on disconnected, decades-old systems. We replace that friction with the velocity of a single platform, integrating digital insights with in-store operations to deliver transparent transactions for car buyers and increased profitability for dealers.
We are a Series B, AI-native SaaS company experiencing tremendous growth. We are transitioning from a traditional SaaS company into an AI-native one — and we are doing it from Denver with a small, sharp team that ships fast and plays hard. This role sits in our Denver office and requires 2-3 days per week in-office.
Why This Role Exists
Our finance function needs to grow up with the business. We are moving from early-stage processes to a modern, audit-ready close — and this seat is the linchpin.
We are hiring a Senior Accountant to partner closely with the Controller during a period of rapid growth. This is an execution-focused role: you will own the day-to-day rhythm of the close, run reconciliations independently, and bring discipline to core accounting workflows. You will free the Controller to focus on technical accounting, audit, equity, tax, and strategic finance while you keep the financial engine running cleanly and on time.
This is a high-ownership seat for someone who wants real responsibility, exposure to the full stack of accounting at a Series B SaaS company, and a clear path to grow as the team scales.
What You'll OwnMonth-End Close & General Ledger
We run a deliberately modern, AI-native finance stack — not because it is trendy, but because it lets us scale G&A faster than headcount.
How You'll Use AI
Role
This is not a "we are AI-curious" company. We use Claude every day, and we expect you to as well. Concrete examples for this role:

- 3–5 years of progressive accounting experience with a strong foundation in full-cycle GL accounting.
- Solid working knowledge of U.S. GAAP and accrual-basis accounting.
- Hands-on experience with at least one cloud accounting system (Rillet, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or similar).
- Advanced Excel / Google Sheets (pivot tables, XLOOKUP / INDEX-MATCH, large data manipulation).
- Demonstrated ability to run a monthly close independently, hit deadlines, and produce audit-ready workpapers.
- Comfort with a fast-paced, AI-forward environment — you actively use AI tools in your workflow and look for ways to automate the repetitive.
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle competing priorities without dropping balls.
- CPA license or active CPA candidate.
- Prior experience at a high-growth startup, technology company, or SaaS environment.

- Familiarity with ASC 606 (revenue recognition) and ASC 842 (lease accounting).
- Experience with our stack or similar tools: Rillet, Ramp, HubSpot, BambooHR, Carta.
Why You'll Like It Here
- Real ownership. You'll run the close, not just contribute to it.
- Direct exposure to a Series B company's full finance stack — equity, treasury, multi-state tax, ASC 606/842, and audit.
- A Controller who treats you as a partner, not a deliverable factory. You'll get coaching, not micromanagement.
- A culture that genuinely embraces AI as a force multiplier — your work scales with the tools you bring.
- Hybrid flexibility (2–3 days in-office) with a real Denver Tech Center workspace, not a phantom office.
- Dealership Obsessed: We measure our success by the dealer's wins and the trust of their buyers, not just our own code.
- Relentless Ownership: No lone wolves, but no pass-backs either. We don't say "that's not my job."
- Invent with Purpose: We don't chase shiny tech. We replace guesswork with intelligence, building the data backbone that turns raw information into a competitive advantage.
- Value Every Perspective: We are Better Together. We check egos at the door.
- Evolve or Evaporate: Change is our constant. We stay ahead by learning faster than the competition.
- Now Over Next: Perfection is the enemy of progress. We prefer action over endless analysis.
- Annual performance bonus eligibility.
- Equity participation in a venture-backed Series B company.
- CPA support: exam fee reimbursement, study materials, and paid PTO for exam days.
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits.
- Employer-provided short-term and long-term disability and life insurance.
- Matching 401(k) plan.
- Unlimited paid time off, plus 10 paid holidays.
- Ongoing professional development and CPE reimbursement.
