Senior Manager, Accounting & Financial Reporting

Yesterday Washington, DC

Meet Upside:

We created Upside to transform brick-and-mortar commerce. Our technology uses the sophistication of online retail-profit measurement, attribution, and incrementality-to provide users with more value on their everyday purchases and brick-and-mortar businesses with new, profitable customers. We've helped millions of users earn 2 to 3 times more cashback than any other product, and hundreds of thousands of brick-and-mortar businesses earn measurable profit. Billions of dollars in commerce run through the Upside platform every year, and that value goes directly back to our retailer partners, the consumers they serve, and important sustainability initiatives.

The Impact You'll Make:

We are expanding our product offerings to serve a wider range of customers and verticals, which necessitates growing our Accounting team with intelligent, driven, and inquisitive individuals-and that's where you fit in! This role, reporting directly to the Controller, involves managing the full month-end close process, reviewing account reconciliations, and overseeing the expense reporting system. A key part of the role is to lead, mentor, and develop other members of the team. The role works closely with all functional areas to provide operational support and requires significant collaboration and communication skills.
