About us

We're building the creative layer for modern communication. Every month, over a billion people make presentations — but the tools they use to make them haven't evolved in decades. We're changing that, using AI to disrupt a massive market.

📈 Millions of people rely on Gamma to create, teach, and persuade, creating more than 1 million gammas every day.

💻 We see Gamma as the next great workplace tool, combining viral B2C love with a massive B2B opportunity. We believe AI can be a true creative partner: one that understands context, clarity, and taste.

💸 We’ve reached a $2.1B valuation, crossed $100M in annual recurring revenue, and have been profitable since 2023.

💙 We're an imaginative, passionate team who takes our work seriously, but not ourselves. Our culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity.

About the role

Gamma crossed $100M in annual recurring revenue, reached a $2.1B valuation, and has been profitable since 2023. Behind those numbers is a deliberately lean finance team, and as our Senior Accountant, you'll be its operational engine.

Reporting to the Director of Accounting, you'll own general ledger accounting and financial reporting: running month-end close and producing the monthly and quarterly financials our leadership team and investors rely on. Because we stay lean, you'll also own AR, AP, and T&E. Not as data entry, but as the person who reviews, approves, and resolves exceptions while automation and AI handle the routine. This is a high-ownership generalist role. You'll run your areas end-to-end with limited supervision, support our in-flight ERP implementation, and make close faster and tighter every month. If you want real breadth and direct impact instead of a narrow slice of a large accounting org, this one was built for you.

Our team has a strong in-office culture and works in person 4–5 days per week in San Francisco. We love working together to stay creative and connected, with flexibility to work from home when focus matters most.

What you'll do

  • Own month-end close, from journal entries and flux analysis to balance sheet and cash reconciliations, delivering a timely, accurate US GAAP close
  • Prepare monthly and quarterly financial statements and supporting schedules for management and investor reporting
  • Run general corporate accounting across prepaids, fixed assets, accruals, leases, stock-based compensation, and payroll, and support revenue and deferred revenue entries alongside the Director of Accounting
  • Own AR, AP, and T&E day to day, reviewing and approving vendor bills, expense reimbursements, and cash receipts while automated workflows handle the routine
  • Support external audits, including PBC preparation, and maintain the internal controls and process documentation for your areas
  • Support our in-progress ERP implementation from data migration through post-go-live optimization, using AI and automation to cut manual work and measurably shorten the close timeline

Our team has a strong in-office culture and works in person 4–5 days per week in San Francisco. We love working together to stay creative and connected, with flexibility to work from home when focus matters most.

What you'll bring

  • A bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance and 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 2–3 years in industry corporate accounting, with the full close cycle under your belt (JEs, accruals, reconciliations, and flux analysis) under US GAAP
  • A generalist's range and an owner's mindset: you run multiple accounting areas independently, at pace, without waiting to be told what's next
  • Experience preparing financial statements for management and investor reporting, and supporting external audits including PBC preparation
  • High proficiency in Excel and hands-on experience with QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, or a similar ERP
  • Real excitement for AI tools and a track record of automating manual processes
  • CPA or CPA-eligible, a mix of Big Four and industry experience, ASC 842 lease accounting, exposure to SaaS revenue recognition (ASC 606), or experience with an ERP implementation (Nice to have)

Compensation range:

The base salary for this full-time position, which spans multiple internal levels depending on qualifications, ranges between $140K - $180K plus benefits & equity.

Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including but not limited to experience and expertise in the requirements listed above.

Life at Gamma

🤝 You’ll fit right in if…

  • You get energy from small teams doing big things.
  • You love when design, code, and storytelling overlap.
  • You default to action, even when the answer isn’t clear yet.
  • You value details, but know when to ship and move on.
  • You bring both the spreadsheets and the sparkle, equal parts workhorse and unicorn.
  • You believe AI should amplify creativity, not replace it.
  • You know kindness and intensity are not opposites.
  • You like working with people who care deeply: about their craft, their teammates, and the users on the other side of the screen.

💙 Who we are

Gamma is full of imaginative, passionate people who take their work seriously but not themselves. The culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity. It’s the kind of place where you’ll debate a pixel on Monday, laugh over someone’s keyboard setup on Tuesday, and ship something remarkable by Friday.

We care about craft, move with intention, and don’t mind getting a little scrappy. It’s fast, creative, and occasionally chaotic — but that’s what makes it interesting.

💬 Here’s a bit about what it’s like to work here, from people on the inside:

We asked the team what makes Gamma, Gamma. Here were some of their answers:

  • "quirky, inspiring, fun, a little wild in the best way"
  • "You can have an idea and just run with it."
  • "Everyone’s talented and humble — the mix keeps you sharp."
  • "We ship cool stuff, learn a ton, and laugh a lot doing it."
