This role is in person 5 days a week at the new Austin or Presidio (SF) office.

As a Senior Accountant at Wander, you'll help manage the financial backbone of two fast-growing businesses under one roof: wander.com, our consumer marketplace for short-term rentals, and wander.com/os, Wander OS — our SaaS platform that acts as the "Shopify" for vacation rental property managers. You'll join a lean, high-caliber finance team and play a critical role in keeping our books accurate and our financial processes scalable as we grow both businesses.

What you'll do

• Own the month-end and year-end close process, including journal entries, accruals, and account reconciliations

• Prepare financial statements and supporting schedules for internal and external stakeholders
• Partner cross-functionally with Revenue, Product, and Operations teams to keep accounting processes in step with new product launches
• Support external audits, tax filings, and compliance requirements
• Help build and improve accounting systems, processes, and internal controls as Wander scales

Qualifications

• CPA nice to have but not required
• 4+ years of progressive accounting experience; public accounting experience a plus
• Strong knowledge of US GAAP, including revenue recognition for marketplace and SaaS business models
• Experience in a high-growth startup environment preferred
• Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple deadlines
• Excellent communication skills and comfort partnering with cross-functional teams
• Proficiency with accounting systems (e.g., NetSuite, QuickBooks) and strong spreadsheet skills
