What the job involves

- Our team is building an audit-ready accounting function, so you will help improve cash flow, make processes more efficient for employees and external stakeholders, and ensure an effective accounting function that can support Persona’s rapid growth
- While spreadsheets, reconciliations, and financial statements are core parts of what we do, we take personal ownership over the operating side of our work too – there’s no better way to understand our company than to take an active role in building it
- As such, you’ll be supporting the Accounting team as we build out processes and procedures that will support Persona as it continues to grow and its reporting requirements become increasingly complex
- You’ll work closely with our Finance and Monetization partners, customers, Engineering, and the GTM organization on key initiatives to help build Persona

- Manage and process daily customer payments and account reconciliations, and respond to customer billing queries
- Improve company cashflow by taking ownership of customer collections, implementing process improvements to ensure prompt payments and adequate escalations
- Review and analyze customer aging reports, follow up on the overdue customer accounts, suggest appropriate actions required for customer collections, and book necessary bad debt journal entries
- Take ownership of vendor invoice processing and payment, ensuring proper coding, amortization as necessary and timely payment
- Suggest improvements to purchasing and accounts payable processes to ensure efficiency and effectiveness of spend controls
- Review and approve employee reimbursement requests in accordance with company policies
Our take
Persona enables businesses to verify customer identities, fostering trust in online interactions and aiding in age verification, fraud prevention and account recovery. It offers a comprehensive suite of automated identity verification components with worldwide coverage that can be configured, branded and themed to create custom-tailored flows for any use case.
Businesses and governmental organizations can access Persona’s platform via an API, which supports various documents from government-issued IDs to biometrics, ensuring customers are who they claim to be. Persona’s platform also collects passive signals such as a user’s device, location and behavioural patterns to provide a more holistic risk profile, beneficial in financial and insurance contexts.
An impressive partnership with MDT saw Persona enable credit unions to adjust their identity verification flows in real-time, strengthening fraud prevention. The company continues to attract funding which supports the scaling of its offerings and reach. In fact, in 2025, it reached a $2 billion valuation, which showcases the success it has had.
