<div class="content-intro"><h3><strong>About Engine<br></strong></h3> <p>At Engine, we’re transforming business travel into something personalized, rewarding, and simple. For too long, managing travel and spend has been overwhelming and fragmented — we’re here to change that. We believe the future of travel should be seamless and powered by technology that delights customers at every step. That’s why we’re building a platform that brings together corporate travel, a powerful charge card, and modern spend management in one place.</p> <p>To make this vision real, we’re looking for exceptional, mission-driven people to help redefine how businesses manage and experience travel.</p> <p>More than 30,000 companies already rely on Engine to support over 1 million travelers and billions in annual bookings each year. Cash flow positive with rapid growth, we pair exclusive Engine-only rates, industry-leading rewards, and intelligent automation to help businesses save money while delivering world-class personalization and convenience.</p> <p>Backed by Telescope Partners, Blackstone, and Permira, Engine has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing travel and fintech platforms in North America, with honors including the Deloitte Fast 500 and Built In’s Best Places to Work.</p></div><h3><strong>What You’ll Do</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Own month-end close across assigned GL areas — journal entries, reconciliations, and flux analysis — with a relentless focus on accuracy, speed, and reducing manual effort close-over-close. Key assigned areas include high-complexity, revenue-specific workflows across multiple business verticals.</li> <li>Develop and maintain deep understanding of Engine's revenue model and business economics — enough to anticipate the accounting implications of product and commercial decisions before they hit the GL.</li> <li>Apply deep expertise in revenue recognition to ensure GAAP-compliance in both accounting for existing revenue streams and in building frameworks for new streams if they launch.</li> <li>Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Data Engineering, Finance, and Operations on accounting for new and evolving areas of the business — often before a playbook exists. Work directly with large, complex datasets to support accurate and complete accounting records, navigating and manipulating data across systems to drive close deliverables and substantiate positions. </li> <li>Build and maintain automation workflows using AI tools (Claude, Gemini, Cowork, or equivalent) and reporting platforms to eliminate recurring manual work and compress close timelines. </li> <li>Partner with the data team to investigate issues at root cause, assess full population impact, and implement solutions that hold up at scale. </li> <li>Communicate accounting findings, data investigations, and process changes clearly to Finance, Product, and business leadership — translating complexity into actionable insight and empowering data-driven decisions. </li> <li>Prepare timely, well-organized support for financial audits, quarterly close packages, and technical accounting memos. </li> </ul> <h3><strong>What You’ll Bring to Engine</strong></h3> <ul> <li>CPA strongly preferred. </li> <li>5+ years of progressive accounting experience, with manager-level ownership over complex close processes in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. </li> <li>Strong technical accounting foundation, especially in ASC 606 and revenue recognition. </li> <li>Demonstrated experience building or deploying AI/automation tools to reduce manual accounting work. This is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have. </li> <li>Experience working with large, complex datasets to validate accounting outcomes, investigate discrepancies, and support scalable close processes.Strong judgment in ambiguous situations: you move quickly, explain your reasoning clearly, and back your decisions with documentation. </li> <li>Strong ability to collaborate with product and data engineers — you understand how systems work well enough to ask the right questions, identify gaps, and ensure accounting requirements are built in, not bolted on. </li> <li>Start-to-finish ownership mentality — you don't leave work in someone else's inbox. You close the loop. </li> <li>Strong business acumen: you understand the economics behind the numbers, not just how to post the entry. </li> <li>Self-directed: you surface problems with proposed solutions attached, escalate the right things at the right time, and manage multiple deliverables to completion under deadline pressure. </li> <li>Proficiency in NetSuite or comparable ERP.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Nice to Haves</strong></h3> <ul> <li>2+ years at a regional or Big Four audit firm.</li> <li>Experience with Looker, Hex, or similar data platforms.</li> <li>Experience with Salesforce or similar CRMs.</li> <li>Familiarity with close management tools and pre-close workflow design.</li> </ul> <p>Evergreen Status:</p> <p><em>We accept applications for this role on an ongoing basis.
