About the role
The Accounting team serves as the central hub for financial reporting, tax compliance, and balance sheet integrity at Persona. As a General Ledger Accountant / Senior Accountant, you will play a critical role in operating and scaling a NetSuite-based, multi-entity accounting function that supports Persona’s growing international footprint.
This role will focus on global balance sheet ownership, tax compliance support, and month-end close execution across multiple legal entities and currencies. You will work hands-on in NetSuite to ensure accurate entity-level and consolidated reporting, maintain intercompany accounting, and support timely, audit-ready financial close processes.
While reconciliations, journal entries, and financial statements are core to the role, we take personal ownership over building durable processes and controls. You will partner closely with Finance, Tax, Payroll, Legal, and external advisors to improve how we operate as Persona scales globally.
What you’ll do at Persona
Own and manage general ledger accounting in NetSuite across multiple international entities, including oversight of key balance sheet accounts (cash, intercompany, accruals, payroll, taxes).
Lead and execute the monthly close process, including journal entries, reconciliations, variance analysis, and financial consolidations.
Oversee intercompany accounting activities, including billing, settlements, eliminations, and funding across entities.
Manage multi-currency accounting and ensure compliance with US GAAP, including foreign currency remeasurement and translation.
Support financial reporting and global tax compliance, partnering with external advisors on income tax, VAT/GST, and statutory filings.
Collaborate cross-functionally (e.g., Payroll, People Ops) and support audits by preparing schedules, reconciliations, and required documentation.
Drive process improvements by documenting, automating, and enhancing NetSuite workflows, internal controls, and supporting international expansion projects.
What you’ll bring to Persona
4+ years of accounting or audit experience, ideally within SaaS or usage-based revenue environments.
Strong knowledge of US GAAP, including hands-on experience with ASC 740 and familiarity with broader accounting standards.
Experience with US federal/state taxes and exposure to international tax frameworks (VAT/GST and foreign corporate taxes).
Proficient in accounting systems (NetSuite, QuickBooks) and productivity tools (Microsoft Office, Google Workspace).
Highly detail-oriented with strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills; effective in cross-functional, collaborative environments.
Full-time Employee Benefits and Perks
For full-time employees (excluding internship and contractor opportunities), Persona offers a wide range of benefits, including medical, dental, and vision, 3% 401(k) contribution, unlimited PTO, quarterly mental health days, family planning benefits, professional development stipend, wellness benefits, among others. While we believe competitive compensation and benefits are a critical aspect of you deciding to join us, we do hope you consider why our core values and culture are right for you.
