Staff Accountant, Accounts Receivable Operations

Who We Are

Kargo creates powerful moments of connection between brands and consumers to build businesses. Every day, our 600 employees work to radically raise the bar on what agentic AI, CTV, eCommerce, social, and mobile can do to deliver unique ad experiences across the world's most premium platforms. Taking a creative science approach to all we do, we continuously innovate solutions that outperform industry benchmarks and client expectations. Now 20 years strong, Kargo has offices in NYC, Chicago, LA, Dallas, Sydney, Auckland, London and Waterford, Ireland.

Who We Hire

Techies who want to build the future. Creatives who want to design it better. Communicators to win business. Collaborators to build it. Data pros who turn numbers into insights. Product builders who turn ideas into innovations. Anyone eager to be on a team that doesn't stop to ask what's next, because they're already building it.

Mission

Keep Kargo's revenue engine running cleanly by owning the full accounts receivable cycle — from accurate invoicing to cash application and collections. This role ensures the integrity of receivable balances, COGS recording, and AR operations for both domestic and APAC entities. Without this function, revenue recognition breaks down and cash flow visibility disappears.

This is a hybrid role requiring onsite presence 4 days per week.

Outcomes — What Success Looks Like in 6–12 Months

• AR ledger is clean and current. Invoices are issued accurately and on time, cash is applied daily, and the aging report reflects reality — no mystery balances or stale open items.
• Collections cadence is running. A consistent outreach process is in place, DSO is trending in the right direction, and escalations are handled proactively before they become problems.
• Month-end close is predictable. AR reconciliations, journal entries, and COGS processing are completed on time each period with minimal rework or surprises.
• APAC operations are supported without gaps. Expense processing, payroll coordination, and vendor payment runs for the APAC entity are handled accurately and on schedule.
• Cross-functional billing issues drop meaningfully. Discrepancies flagged by Sales and Client Success are resolved faster, and root causes are identified and addressed upstream.
  
  

Skills — Core Technical Capabilities

Required

• 1–3 years of accounting experience in a private or public company, preferably in media, technology, or digital advertising
• Working knowledge of US GAAP, general ledger activity, and AR-specific processes (invoicing, cash application, reconciliations)
• Hands-on experience with NetSuite
• Strong Excel skills for reconciliation, aging analysis, and reporting
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
  
  

Preferred

• CPA or active progress toward CPA certification
• Experience supporting international or APAC entity accounting operations
  
  

Competencies — Behaviors We Like to See

Precision Under Pressure

• Catches errors before they compound and maintains accuracy even during close crunch periods
• Treats the details as the job, not a distraction from it
  
  

Proactive Cross-Functional Communication

• Surfaces billing discrepancies and account issues early rather than waiting to be asked
• Works fluidly with Sales, Client Success, and Finance without needing to be managed across teams
  
  

Process Ownership

• Takes initiative to improve how things work — reporting, workflows, system efficiencies — not just how they're done today
• Follows through on recurring responsibilities without dropping threads
  
  

Growth Orientation

• Approaches a broad scope (AR, COGS, APAC support) as an opportunity to build expertise, not as scope creep
• Actively seeks to grow into greater ownership as the function scales
