Full job description
Normal Computing | Build with Us
Normal is an applied AI company solving the hardest problems in AI and silicon. We build foundational hardware and software for the semiconductor industry, critical AI infrastructure, and the broader systems that power our world, in partnership with the world's most advanced institutions. We work as one team across New York City, Silicon Valley (Mountain View), London, Copenhagen, and Seoul.
The Role
We are hiring a Staff Accountant to build the core of Normal's accounting function as the company scales across two product lines and five offices. You will partner with our Head of Finance to establish the close process, the systems, and the internal controls that Normal's growth depends on, from revenue recognition through diligence readiness. Much of this infrastructure is being defined now, which means the work you do shapes how finance operates at Normal for years, and you will build it with AI as a first-class part of the workflow rather than an afterthought.
What You Will Own
Own the financial close. Run the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, including accruals, journal entries, account reconciliations, and standard reporting, and work closely with FP&A to deliver reporting of historical financial data.
Implement and maintain accounting systems. Build the systems that support revenue recognition, KPI reporting, and accrual and reconciliation workflows, documenting accounting conclusions and policy positions as the function's precedent.
Manage financial operations. Own tax compliance, external due diligence requests, and AR and AP functions end to end.
Drive process and controls. Lead process improvements, systems improvements, and internal controls that support the company's growth at scale.
Build an AI-native accounting capability. Stand up an accounting function from the ground up that uses AI to move faster and cover more ground, while keeping verification and judgment in your own hands.
What Makes You a Great Fit
5+ years of accounting experience, including experience building an accounting function at a high-growth startup.
Public accounting experience, with a Big 4 background a plus.
A BA or BS in accounting or a related field, or equivalent experience.
Low ego and high agency: you solve problems wherever you find them, whatever your role or level.
