Desirable

• We’re looking for a Corporate Accounting Manager to support the general ledger, the close, and our accounting processes and controls as Baseten scales
• This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role for someone who wants full ownership of the core accounting function at a company where the entity structure, transaction volume, and reporting requirements are growing quickly
• You’ll join the corporate accounting team and take on the general ledger, vendor contract review, the close calendar, and our internal control environment as the business grows
• We are focused on tightening close procedures, strengthening controls, and building reporting rigor to support the scale ahead
• You’ll partner closely with FP&A, Data, and cross-functional partners to make sure the books close on time and accurately every cycle
• Baseten is building the infrastructure layer for AI-native companies, and we're scaling quickly - in headcount, entity structure, transaction volume, and contract complexity and volume and vendor size

• Identify and automate the manual, error-prone steps that slow the close down
• Controls and Audit:
• Partner directly with cross-functional teams and external auditors to keep internal controls tight and the company audit-ready
• Own audit deliverables, including technical accounting memos, schedules, and sample testing support
• Systems and Cross-Functional Partnership:
• Support day-to-day administration and maintenance of our accounting systems stack, including NetSuite and our spend management platform, and push for automation over manual workarounds
• Partner with FP&A on reporting, forecasting inputs, and variance analysis
