We’re financing the future of energy

Our team of 100+ is composed of experts in energy, tax, finance, government, and technology. We have raised $77 million in capital from some of the best investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Lowercarbon Capital, New System Ventures, Overture, Ardent Venture Partners, QED, Canapi, and others.

An inflection point in American energy and manufacturing
Energy demand is growing for the first time in decades, driving an urgent need for more affordable and reliable electricity. More electricity requires new clean energy infrastructure and strong domestic supply chains for minerals and components — as well as large amounts of capital.
Traditional project financing is opaque, fragmented, and analog. At Crux, we’re changing that. Through unmatched insights and expertise, white-glove service, purpose-built tools, and risk underwriting, we power a more prosperous, clean, and secure energy future.
We are scaling quickly and looking for team members who are eager to combine deep expertise with an AI- and tech-forward mindset.
As Accounting Manager, you will be a true partner to Crux’s Controller in running the accounting function across our multi-entity structure. You will take primary ownership of day-to-day accounting operations — close execution, intercompany, and expense workflows — while partnering with the Controller on review, design decisions, and technical accounting.
This role reports to the Controller and partners closely with our CFO and Strategic Finance team. It is a high-ownership role on a small team, with the goal of building a scalable accounting function that can support continued growth, new entities, and increasing transaction volume. You won’t just be executing. You’ll be helping decide how things should work.
Partner on the monthly close process across multiple entities — making sure the numbers actually tie (cash, intercompany, and everything else)
Prepare and review balance sheets and P&Ls, and flag what looks off on your own read
Investigate variances and resolve reconciling items, especially in cash and intercompany
Help build and maintain intercompany processes across entities so they stay clean as entity count and volume grow
Track and reconcile intercompany balances
Support allocation of shared expenses in a consistent, defensible way
Own and improve expense coding workflows (Ramp and related tools) and fix inefficiencies as you find them
Think about how to automate or streamline workflows, balancing what’s realistic with the tools we have today
Support implementation of better systems and processes over time
Own the rhythm of entity compliance across all entities — recurring filings like annual reports, franchise taxes, property tax, 1099s, and state registrations — so nothing gets forgotten until it’s late
Handle one-off items as they come up: new state registrations, entity formations or dissolutions, beneficial ownership filings, and supporting documentation for banks, lenders, and auditors
Partner with legal and tax when filings require outside input, and keep ownership of items that aren’t on a set calendar yet
Partner with the Controller on audit preparation and PBC, including pulling schedules, responding to auditor requests, and keeping workpapers organized across entities
Work with tax and audit partners to make sure deliverables are accurate and timely
Hold external partners accountable — review their work, catch issues, and push for quality and timeliness
5+ years of accounting experience, including ownership (or co-ownership) of month-end close at a venture-backed or high-growth company
Multi-entity experience — you have worked across more than one legal entity and understand intercompany mechanics and shared service allocations
Familiarity with entity-level compliance — annual reports, franchise taxes, property tax, 1099s, state registrations, and the general rhythm of keeping multiple entities in good standing
Has participated in at least one financial statement audit cycle from the company side (not as the auditor)
Strong working knowledge of a modern accounting stack: Ramp or a peer spend management tool, a real ERP (Rillet, NetSuite, Sage Intacct), and solid spreadsheet skills
Strong judgment on accuracy vs. speed — knows what must be right and what must be done
Able to get the details right (recons, tie-outs) while also improving the underlying process so the same issue doesn’t recur next month
Willingness to challenge things that aren’t working and help fix them, professionally
Comfort operating in a dynamic, high-growth environment with evolving priorities
Strong interest in leveraging technology and AI day to day
