To create the ideal identity verification experience for your business and customers.
Role
Who you are
- 2+ years of accounting operations experience (Accounts Receivable and/or Accounts Payable), preferably in a high-paced startup environment
- Experience working in highly cross-functional environments and demonstrated success working collaboratively across teams
- Proficient with spend management tools (Ramp, Airbase etc.) and accounting software (QBO, Netsuite), as well as Microsoft Office and Google Workspace
- Excellent communications skills, with the ability to collaborate with colleagues and resolve customer and vendor issues diligently
- Detail-oriented and data-driven, with the ability to handle high volumes of customer and vendor invoices
- Strong problem-solving skills and a drive to implement change
What the job involves
- The Accounting team serves as the central hub for financial reporting, customer & vendor transactions, employee expenses, and supports the payroll process, as well as a wide range of special projects at Persona
- 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
- Support other members of the Accounting team with customer invoicing cycle
- 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 behavioral patterns to provide a more holistic risk profile, beneficial in financial and insurance contexts
Recently, Persona partnered with Member Driven Technologies (MDT) to enhance identity verification for credit unions. This partnership enables credit unions to adjust their identity verification flows in real-time based on risk signals, improving user conversion and fraud deterrence. The collaboration aims to streamline operations and strengthen fraud prevention, both digitally and in branches. Since founding, Persona has been scaling its offerings and now boasts a worldwide presence, serving clients in nearly every country and supporting 20 languages.

Company values
- People first. We will not make decisions that are good for the business but are not good for people — whether those people are our customers, their customers, or our team.
- Pursue relentlessly high standards. We hold ourselves to a high bar today and a higher one tomorrow. While we celebrate our wins, we constantly strive to raise the bar.
- Lead by serving. We share early and often to push our work forward, creating a space where it’s ok to ask questions and show unpolished demos instead of waiting for a perfect spec.
- Work in public. We encourage collaboration and transparency, sharing early and often to push our work forward. We create a space that makes others comfortable to ask questions, share unfinished thoughts, and show unpolished demos instead of waiting for a perfect spec.
- Start small, think big. Starting small allows us to provide value while learning lessons without losing sight of our vision.
- Speed is not a tradeoff. Speed is important, but so is quality. We strive to find ways to optimize and increase both. Going fast does not imply that our quality will suffer. Instead, it means we focus on being more efficient while continuing to operate at a high level.
