What We Do

Rillet serves accounting and finance teams—the financial brains of their companies. Our job is to help them run the numbers with impossible speed, accuracy, and insight.

Rillet is the AI-native ERP that middle-market and enterprise companies trust for revenue recognition, multi-entity consolidation, and investor reporting. To enable real-time finance and a continuous close, Rillet rebuilt the general ledger from the ground up for the AI era. Rillet serves companies from Series A through the public markets, including Mercor, Scribe, and Function Health, and is a certified partner of top accounting firms like EY and KPMG.

This huge market is ours to take. We have raised $100M+ from leading investors, including Sequoia, a16z, Iconiq, Oak HC/FT, and First Round, to help everyone run their numbers at the speed of AI.

Who We Are

Rillet’s pace is not for everyone. Intelligence is table stakes. To succeed here, you need extreme speed, agency, and flexibility.

The people who thrive at Rillet do not wait for assignments. They internalize the mission, design a strategy, and bring back results that are better, faster, and more creative than a manager could have asked for.

Our work revolves around our customers. The people who succeed here are energized by delivering what matters most, even when it was not part of the original plan.

Rillet is built on deep accounting expertise, and it takes people from many disciplines to build a category-defining company. You do not need to be an accountant to thrive here. You do need to care deeply about the problems we solve and the impact our customers can create. Together, we combine the precision of accounting with the speed, creativity, and ambition of AI-native software to power the financial core of the world’s fastest-growing companies while redefining what finance teams should expect from their software.

Who We Need

We’re looking for an accountant who wants to be a builder—whether you’ve already moved into a client-facing/solutions role or you’re a current accountant ready to apply your craft with modern tools. Having previous professional accounting or audit experience will allow the candidate to build immediate trust with our customers. You’ll own the long-term relationship with our customers after sales and implementation, partnering with CFOs, Controllers, and Accounting Managers to deliver scalable, automated solutions on Rillet’s AI platform. If you enjoy solving complex accounting problems, client interaction, system configuration, and measurable impact—but don’t have a traditional “Customer Success” background—this role is for you.

We’re looking for teammates who are based near our New York City or San Francisco offices, or open to relocating. Our hybrid schedule brings the team together in person on Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus one additional flexible day each week. Some roles may spend more time in the office depending on the needs of the team.

What You'll Do

  • Own customer relationships and outcomes: Build deep relationships across your customer portfolio, run success plans, and hold recurring meetings to maximize value attainment of Rillet.

  • Deliver unique AI-driven accounting solutions: Translate complex accounting challenges into automated workflows powered by Rillet’s AI platform.

  • Apply accounting expertise: Bridge the gap between technical product capabilities and customer accounting needs, ensuring solutions meet real-world requirements.

  • Drive platform adoption and expansion: Lead trainings to ensure customers are continuously enabled on the platform, advise on process optimization and month-end close efficiency.

  • Cross-functional collaboration: Provide front-line customer feedback to founders and Product in close to real-time, triage support issues with Engineering, and ensure smooth account handoff with Implementation.

  • Become a Product Expert: Develop deep product expertise in Rillet’s AI-native platform, staying up-to-date on the latest features and functionality.

  • Represent Rillet: You’ll be the face of the company and will apply high customer empathy and structured problem-solving to ensure every customer interaction is delightful.

Who We're Looking For

  • 2+ years of hands-on accounting experience (public audit/assurance or industry GL/Close, Revenue, AP, or Consolidations).

  • Solid understanding of US GAAP and the end-to-end close process — even better if you have exposure to technical accounting concepts like ASC 606 / revenue recognition.

  • Proven ability to translate accounting requirements into system configurations and automated workflows.

  • Experience with ERPs (e.g., NetSuite, Intacct) and comfort picking up new finance tools.

  • Bias to action, ownership mindset, and high attention to detail in a fast-moving environment.

  • Nice to have: CPA (active or inactive); prior client-facing/consulting or implementation experience (not required).

Life at Rillet

  • Grow with us. Take meaningful ownership, expand your scope, and make an impact as Rillet scales.

  • Competitive pay and meaningful equity. Be rewarded for the value you help create.

  • Benefits that support you. We offer medical and dental coverage, including up to 100% of employee premiums and 90% of dependent premiums, along with a 401(k), flexible PTO, nine company-wide holidays, and paid parental leave for eligible employees.

  • Better together. We’re hybrid-first, with teams centered in New York City and San Francisco, as well as select remote roles. Our offices are stocked with snacks, we regularly provide lunch and dinner, and we make time to connect as a team.
