Senior Accountant

Ever imagined saying, “I helped launch the future of transportation”?

We’re rewriting the rules of urban mobility. At Vay, customers tap a button and a car arrives - with no one inside - powered by our world-first Remote Driving technology on real public streets.

We’re live in Las Vegas and scaling fast, powered by a strategic investment of up to $410 million from Grab. Our mission is simple: replace private car ownership with a faster, cleaner, door-to-door mobility model. If you want to build something real, visible, and genuinely transformative, you’ll feel right at home here.

What’s happening at Vay

• First to roll out vehicles in both Europe and the USA on public roads without a human being inside & currently the 2nd largest commercial, driverless car fleet in the Western World.
• We've partnered with Kodiak to bring remote-driving technology to autonomous trucks in the US, showcasing our ability to integrate our system into heavy-duty commercial vehicles and expand the applications of our tech across the US.
• We’ve completed over 150,000 trips so far and are busy multiplying our Las Vegas fleet just to meet demand!
• ...And soon we’ll be expanding across the US & Europe 🚀

Why this role is exciting

Build, don’t just maintain: Help develop and scale Vay’s accounting function during a transformational period of growth, creating the processes and controls where none exist yet.

Complex, multi-entity scope: Own core close responsibilities across multiple entities and countries, with real exposure to IFRS consolidations and technical accounting.

Shape how finance works: Use AI and automation to modernize the close, and contribute to systems, audit readiness, and management reporting as a trusted senior member of the team.

What you’ll be driving

• Own key month-end close functions: Handle journal entries, account reconciliations, variance analysis, consolidations, intercompany, and foreign currency accounting across multiple entities and countries, and help shorten the close cycle.
• Build and improve accounting processes: Develop new processes and reconciliations for areas without established procedures, and strengthen existing processes, internal controls, finance systems, audit readiness, and management reporting.
• Navigate technical accounting: Research and conclude on accounting treatment for new or complex transactions with no established precedent.
• Document procedures and policies: Create and maintain clear documentation of processes, controls, and accounting positions so the team can run them consistently as we scale.
• Automate the close: Identify and help implement AI and automation to reduce manual month-end work.
• Partner with FP&A and the business: Maintain and reconcile accruals and review monthly budget vs. actuals.
• Support audit and tax: Prepare accurate audit deliverables and state and regulatory tax filings.
• Guide junior team members: Share knowledge and support less experienced teammates on close tasks and complex transactions.
• You might be a great fit, if
• You have 5+ years of accounting experience (public accounting and/or high-growth tech preferred), with a strong month-end close and audit preparation experience, ideally in a fast-paced startup or tech environment
• Comfortable making sound accounting calls and building processes where no standard procedure exists
• Proven ability to design, implement, and optimize close processes and internal controls for efficiency and risk management
• Experience with IFRS reporting preferred; strong US GAAP background welcome
• Hands-on experience using AI or automation to streamline accounting work, with good judgment on when to review outputs
• Experience with NetSuite or equivalent ERP; strong Excel skills
• Detail-oriented, proactive collaborator who can influence stakeholders and navigate ambiguity
