## Job description

## About Norm Ai

Norm Ai, the agentic law company, has a client base with a combined $30 trillion in assets under management.

Norm Ai pioneered Legal Engineering, the process that empowers lawyers to build and supervise domain-specific AI agents with Norm’s proprietary suite of no-code software tools. Norm Ai technology is deployed inside many of the largest and most consequential institutions in the world.

Norm Ai is also the technology behind Norm Law, LLP, a separate but affiliated AI-native law firm built for the era of agentic AI. Norm Law’s attorneys advise leading institutions across private funds, private equity, venture capital, real estate, registered funds, and financial regulation, using the same legal intelligence platform that powers Norm Ai’s products.

AI Fluency: Norm Ai expects all team members to be fluent in AI. Successful candidates actively use AI in their day-to-day work to support thinking, creation, and problem-solving. They use it to improve the quality and speed of their work and to continuously refine how work gets done end-to-end.

Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate and discuss their AI usage throughout the interview process, including concrete examples of tools, workflows, and outcomes. We look for practical, hands-on experience, not theoretical familiarity.

## THIS ROLE

We’re hiring a Technical Accounting Senior Manager to strengthen and scale Norm Ai’s accounting function. This role will own complex technical accounting matters, help lead the monthly and annual close, and ensure accurate financial reporting across a growing and increasingly complex organization.

You will serve as a hands-on accounting leader and trusted partner to Finance and company leadership. You will manage our outsourced bookkeeping team, coordinate closely with external auditors and tax advisors, and build durable accounting policies, processes, and controls. The ideal candidate combines strong technical judgment with an operator’s mindset and is comfortable moving between detailed analysis and cross-functional leadership.

## WHAT YOU’LL DO

Close, Controls & Operations

- Lead the monthly and annual close processes, with accountability for completeness, accuracy, and timeliness.
- Manage and review the work of the outsourced bookkeeping team, establish clear service expectations, and strengthen review and escalation processes.
- Design, document, and improve scalable accounting processes, internal controls, and close procedures.
- Partner with Finance and business stakeholders to translate new products, contracts, legal entities, and transactions into sound accounting conclusions and operational workflows.

Audit, Tax & Cross-Border Matters

- Serve as a primary day-to-day partner for external auditors, coordinating requests, supporting audit readiness, and resolving technical accounting questions.
- Coordinate with external tax advisors on domestic and international tax matters, including entity structuring, compliance, transfer pricing, and related accounting impacts.
- Support accounting and reporting for international operations, including foreign subsidiaries and cross-border intercompany activity.
- Maintain organized, audit-ready support for significant estimates, judgments, transactions, and balances.

## WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

## CORE QUALIFICATIONS

- 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including substantial responsibility for technical accounting, financial reporting, or controllership activities.
- Bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance, CPA preferred.
- Deep knowledge of U.S. GAAP and demonstrated ability to research, document, and communicate complex accounting conclusions.
