We’re seeking a hands-on Contract Accountant to support recurring close and day-to-day operational accounting for these costs. The contractor will translate contract terms, pricing, delivery, usage, invoices, and operational data into accurate accruals, true-ups, journal-entry support, reconciliations, and variance explanations. This role works closely with Compute & Infrastructure Accounting, Technical Accounting, Procurement, Strategic Finance, Data Engineering, and external vendors to resolve exceptions and keep accounting outputs timely, complete, and audit-ready. The contractor will use approved AI tools to reduce manual effort, strengthen analysis, improve documentation, and create scalable operating leverage. This role does not make final accounting conclusions or approve journals, payments, vendors, contracts, or access; it does not negotiate contracts or commit company funds. Success is measured by accurate and timely close deliverables, well-supported reconciliations, prompt exception resolution, dependable cross-functional communication, and adherence to established controls. ## Responsibilities Close and Operational Accounting - Prepare and support assigned month-end and quarter-end close activities, including accruals, true-ups, journal entries, reconciliations, rollforwards, balance-sheet substantiation, and flux or variance analysis. - Prepare journal-entry support and submissions, including account and cost-center coding; monitor approval, posting, and rejection status and coordinate timely follow-up with authorized employees. - Perform vendor- and contract-level reconciliations, monitor actuals against accruals, resolve differences, and support recurring management reporting. - Support lease, fixed-asset, construction-in-progress, and related infrastructure accounting as assigned, including data capture, schedule maintenance, modifications, and period-end entries. Contract, Invoice, and Data Validation - Maintain complete and accurate contract and pricing records across new agreements, amendments, credits, delivery or drawdown changes, extensions, and terminations. - Translate commercial terms into accounting inputs and operating workflows and ensure relevant changes are reflected in recurring accounting processes. - Validate vendor invoices and operational data against rates, usage, commitments, delivery, resource attributes, and accounting mappings. - Investigate exceptions, document root causes and resolutions, track open items and bottlenecks, and coordinate follow-up through completion. Controls, Audit, and Issue Resolution - Follow established accounting policies, standard operating procedures, close calendars, review requirements, and approval workflows. - Execute control procedures over source data and workpapers, including completeness and accuracy checks, evidence retention, and reviewer-ready documentation. - Respond to audit and control requests by assembling tie-outs, schedules, explanations, and source evidence. - Use company information only through approved systems and devices, follow least-privilege and security requirements, and promptly escalate suspected data, security, or access issues. Cross-Functional Coordination - Partner with Compute & Infrastructure Accounting, Technical Accounting, Procurement, Strategic Finance, Finance Systems, Data, Engineering, and external vendors to resolve accounting and operational blockers. - Communicate requirements, status, outstanding items, and accounting implications clearly to finance and non-finance stakeholders. - Escalate unusual contracts, accounting judgments, control exceptions, or access requests with clear context and recommended next steps. Process Discipline and Continuous Improvement - Identify recurring data-quality issues, process delays, and control gaps, and surface trends and recommended improvements to the appropriate team lead. - Write clear requirements, test system or process changes, and validate downstream accounting outputs before operational use. - Improve recurring workflows through standardization, documentation, automation, and tooling; maintain clear procedures and handoffs. - Use approved AI-enabled tools responsibly to reduce manual effort, strengthen analysis and documentation, and support scalable and agentic workflows while following data-security and review requirements. - Help maintain consistent execution as systems, accounting requirements, and workflows evolve. Required Skills and Experience - Progressive experience in accounting, audit, advisory, or a related finance function, including hands-on operational accounting. - Strong month-end and quarter-end close experience involving accruals, journal entries, reconciliations, variance analysis, and workpaper preparation. - Working knowledge of U.S. GAAP and internal controls, with the judgment to recognize and escalate matters requiring technical accounting review. - Experience interpreting contracts, invoices, and large operational datasets and translating them into accurate accounting outcomes. - Advanced spreadsheet and data-analysis skills and experience using an ERP or comparable finance system. - Demonstrated ability to use AI tools to reduce manual effort, strengthen analysis, improve documentation, and create scalable operating leverage. - Strong attention to detail, sound judgment, clear documentation habits, and the ability to independently manage high-volume, deadline-driven work. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to coordinate effectively across Finance, Procurement, Engineering, external vendors, and time zones. ## Preferred - Operational accounting experience in a technology, cloud-computing, or infrastructure environment. - Experience with Oracle Fusion and lease-accounting, fixed-asset, or similar finance systems. - CPA, CA, or an equivalent professional accounting qualification. Nice-to-Have - Exposure to cloud and compute costs, lease accounting, fixed assets, construction in progress, or related infrastructure arrangements. - Familiarity with SQL, GitHub, issue-tracking tools, or similar technical tools used to investigate data and process issues. - Experience in audit-ready, high-growth, or control-focused operating environments. - Experience collaborating across time zones with distributed teams and external service providers. ## About GreenLight Workforce Solutions Inc ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: GreenLight.ai is an AI-powered Freelancer Management System (FMS) that helps businesses compliantly hire, manage, and pay freelancers and contractors globally. - **Entity Type**: Private (Pre-Seed stage) - **Headquarters**: Palo Alto, California, United States - **Founded**: 2018 - **Founders**: Jason Posel, Spencer Greene ## Core Business - **Primary industries**: Human Resources, Artificial Intelligence, Software, InsurTech - **Target customers**: B2B – enterprises, staffing firms, talent marketplaces, and companies managing contingent workforces - **Mission / purpose**: “Making it easy to hire, organize, and pay contractors – anywhere.” ## Products & Services - **Global Workforce Management System**: A single platform for onboarding, time tracking, billing, and reporting across more than 25 countries. - **AI-Powered Worker Classification**: An AI engine that determines correct worker classification to mitigate misclassification risk. - **Global Workforce Payments & Benefits**: Handles payroll and benefits for freelancers and contractors worldwide. - **Regulatory & Tax Compliance**: Automates identity verification, background checks, and compliance with local tax and employment laws. - **Automation & Analytics**: Automates paperwork and provides workforce analytics to stakeholders. - **World‑Class API Integrations**: APIs that connect the platform with existing HR, payroll, and marketplace tools. - **White‑Label & Embedded Solutions**: Custom configurations for staffing firms and marketplaces to offer the platform under their own brand. ## Market Standing - **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric**: Funding – Closed an undisclosed Pre-Seed round on March 31, 2020. - **Notable Investors / Partners**: Matt Mickiewicz, Blackhorn Ventures - **Growth Signals**: Headcount estimated at 11–50 employees; active hiring for remote and hybrid roles across the US and UK; offers an API‑first approach to embed compliance and payments into client systems. ## Competitive Advantages - Combines EOR (Employer of Record), AOR (Agent of Record), and worker classification into one integrated FMS platform. - Proprietary AI‑driven classification engine reduces legal risk for companies using freelancers and contractors. - Built with top employment law and compliance experts, enabling clients to scale quickly without expanding their back office. ## Strategic Focus - Deepening global coverage (currently 25+ countries) and expanding white‑label/embedded offerings for talent marketplaces and staffing firms. - Using AI and automation to further streamline contractor onboarding, compliance, and payment workflows. - Prioritizing API integrations to embed compliance into customers’ existing tech stacks. ## Why Work Here - **Work policy**: Offers remote, hybrid, and in‑office options; offices in Southport, FL (USA) and the United Kingdom. - **Engineering culture**: Currently hiring a Full‑Stack AI Engineer / Workflow Automation Lead, indicating a focus on AI and automation. - **Perks**: Not publicly described, but as an early‑stage VC‑backed startup, likely offers equity, flexible work, and direct impact on product direction. ## Sources 1.
