## Job description

What is Kalshi? Kalshi has defined a new category: prediction markets. Kalshi allows people to trade on the outcome of any events and turn any question about the future into a financial asset. Kalshi fought for years and legalized prediction markets in the US for the first time in history, is currently the fastest growing financial market in America, and has thousands of markets across politics, economics, financials, weather, tech, AI, culture and more. We believe prediction markets have the potential to be the largest financial market because they turn anything into a financial position.

- Our vision: well… build the largest financial market on the planet.
- Our mission: bring more truth to the world through the power of markets.

Our culture is simple: we hire really talented people, work really hard, and enjoy the climb. We are looking for ambitious and exceptional people to join our (relatively small) team to help us build the next generation of financial markets.

## Role Roadmap

Kalshi is looking for a Senior Accountant to join our growing Finance team. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who wants to own meaningful parts of the accounting close, improve processes, and help build the financial infrastructure of a rapidly scaling company. You’ll work across the business to ensure transactions are recorded accurately, accounts are reconciled, and our financials are complete and audit-ready. As Kalshi continues to scale, you’ll also help strengthen controls, automate workflows, and build processes that can support increasing complexity and future public-company requirements.

## What You’ll Do

- Own key areas of the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process
- Prepare and review journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules
- Ensure transactions are recorded accurately and in accordance with U.S. GAAP
- Maintain balance sheet accounts and proactively investigate and resolve discrepancies
- Support preparation of monthly financial statements and management reporting
- Partner with teams across the company to understand new products, transactions, and accounting implications
- Support external audits and ensure schedules and supporting documentation are audit-ready
- Help develop and maintain accounting policies, processes, and internal controls
- Identify opportunities to automate and streamline accounting workflows
- Support technical accounting analysis for new or unusual transactions as needed
- Help build the accounting infrastructure required as Kalshi continues to scale

## What You Bring

- 4+ years of accounting experience, ideally with a combination of public accounting and operating-company experience
- Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP and core accounting principles
- Experience owning significant components of the monthly close
- Strong experience with journal entries, account reconciliations, and financial statement preparation
- Ability to independently investigate accounting issues and drive them to resolution
- Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to operate in a fast-moving environment
- Comfortable working cross-functionally and translating business activity into accurate accounting treatment
- Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills
- CPA preferred
- Experience at a high-growth technology, fintech, financial services, or other complex business is a plus
- Experience supporting audits, implementing controls, or preparing a company for increased reporting requirements is a plus

NYC Pay Transparency Disclosure: Salary Range: $120,000 to $175,000 annually plus equity and benefits. This range reflects current market data for this role. Kalshi has minimal hierarchy and broad variance in experience levels within each title; if your compensation expectations exceed this range, we encourage you to reach out - we’re always happy to discuss.

Our Culture Meritocracy is at our core, and we value people who take ownership and figure (usually hard) things out. We dream big. We love our craft deeply and are proud of what we put out in the world. We are committed to our vision of building something big… but also useful: a product that brings more truth through the power of markets. Kalshians are Kalshi’s most important asset: we pick Kalshians carefully, so we trust them fully on day 1.

Commitment to Equal Opportunity Kalshi is committed to creating a culture of inclusion and belonging, and we are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We believe it is our collective responsibility to uphold these values and encourage candidates from all backgrounds to join us in our mission. All qualified applicants will be treated with respect and receive equal consideration for employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, uniform service, veteran status, age, or any other protected characteristic per federal, state, or local law. If you are passionate about what you do and want to use your talents to support our mission and values, we’d love to hear from you.
