ABOUT ANTHROPIC Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems. ABOUT THE ROLE Anthropic's corporate structure is growing in both entity count and transaction complexity; through acquisitions, international expansion, and an increasingly intricate set of intercompany flows. Consolidations and intercompany is now a dedicated pillar within Corporate Accounting, and we are looking for a Senior Accountant to be its first hands-on builder, reporting to the Head of Consolidations & Intercompany. This is a preparer's role with a designer's mandate. You will run the multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation and intercompany close in our system of record, and you will own the frameworks that make that close repeatable: elimination logic, cost-allocation models, transaction-flow documentation, and the automation that lets all of it scale as entities and acquisitions are added. The people who do well here can take a complex, ambiguous structure, distill it into something clear, and then build it so it runs the same way every month without them. Success in this role is a balance of strategy and operations; someone who closes the books accurately and on time, and who also leaves each close with fewer manual steps than the one before. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES * Prepare and own the monthly and quarterly consolidation close in Workday, including intercompany eliminations, multi-currency translation, and consolidated reconciliations * Own the intercompany sub-ledger end to end: transaction matching, settlement, balance confirmations, and resolution of out-of-balance positions across entities * Design and maintain the cost-allocation model for shared costs, including pay-on-behalf-of and collect-on-behalf-of flows, and build it to be automatable and defensible * Document intercompany transaction flows and maintain the single source of truth for entity structure, agreements, and elimination logic * Partner with the Head of Consolidations & Intercompany to design the target operating model for the pillar, then build and codify it through operating procedures and controls * Operationalize transfer-pricing arrangements with Tax and support FX and intercompany settlement processes with Treasury * Integrate newly acquired entities into the consolidation and intercompany framework, working alongside M&A Finance Integration * Identify and build automation across the consolidation and intercompany close — in Workday, in reporting tools, and with AI-assisted tooling such as Claude — with a bias toward removing manual work for good * Prepare consolidation and intercompany audit support and serve as a primary point of contact for external auditors on this area * Support technical accounting analysis on consolidation matters, including foreign currency and intercompany arrangements MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS * Hands-on experience preparing a multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation close in an ERP, including intercompany eliminations and currency translation * Working knowledge of US GAAP for consolidations, intercompany transactions, and foreign currency * Experience building or materially redesigning an accounting process, model, or reconciliation — not only operating one that already existed * Advanced spreadsheet and data-handling skills, with the ability to work confidently in large, multi-entity datasets * Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS * CPA, ACA, or equivalent professional accounting qualification * Workday Financials or Workday Financial Consolidation experience, or experience implementing or configuring a consolidation module on another major ERP * Experience operationalizing transfer pricing or intercompany service agreements from the accounting side * Exposure to FX accounting and intercompany settlement processes in partnership with Treasury * Experience integrating acquired entities into a group close * Experience automating close processes through scripting, reporting tools, or AI-assisted tooling * Combination of public accounting background and high-growth or multi-entity operating experience * Comfortable operating lean, resolving ambiguity into documented process, and explaining complex structures simply to finance and non-finance partners The annual compensation range for this role is listed below. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. Annual Salary: $190,000—$230,000 USD LOGISTICS Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices. Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this. We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team. Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day.

HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills. The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences. COME WORK WITH US! Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
