About the role
We are seeking an experienced Financial Reporting Lead to join our Finance team at Anthropic. In this critical role, you will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of our financial reporting processes, ensuring compliance with US GAAP, and leading the implementation and optimization of our reporting systems. As we continue to scale, you will play a pivotal role in establishing robust reporting frameworks that support our growth while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and transparency.
You will work closely with our Controller, CFO, and cross-functional teams to deliver timely and accurate financial statements, manage external audit processes, and drive continuous improvements in our reporting capabilities. This role offers the opportunity to shape the financial reporting infrastructure of a leading AI company while working at the forefront of transformative technology.
Responsibilities:
* Lead the preparation and review of all external financial reporting, including quarterly and annual financial statements, ensuring full compliance with US GAAP and applicable reporting standards
* Manage the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes, coordinating with accounting teams to ensure timely and accurate completion
* Oversee technical accounting research and documentation for complex transactions, including revenue recognition (ASC 606), lease accounting (ASC 842), stock-based compensation (ASC 718), and other relevant standards
* Lead the implementation and optimization of Workiva for financial reporting, controls documentation, and SOX compliance
* Serve as the primary liaison with external auditors, managing audit timelines, coordinating responses, and ensuring efficient completion of audit procedures
* Design and implement internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) in preparation for potential future public company requirements
* Partner with the Finance Systems team to ensure seamless integration between ERP systems and reporting platforms
* Develop and maintain comprehensive accounting policies and procedures documentation
* Mentor and develop team members, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence
* Collaborate with FP&A and Strategic Finance teams to ensure alignment between management and external reporting
* Lead special projects including system implementations, process improvements, and reporting automation initiatives
You may be a good fit if you:
* Have 8+ years of progressive accounting and financial reporting experience, with at least 3 years in a leadership role
* Possess deep expertise in US GAAP and have experience with both AICPA and SEC reporting standards
* Have hands-on experience leading Workiva implementations and optimizing the platform for financial reporting workflows
* Are proficient with multiple ERP systems, particularly NetSuite and either Oracle Fusion or Workday Financials
* Have experience managing SOX compliance programs and working with external auditors
* Demonstrate exceptional attention to detail while maintaining the ability to see the big picture
* Excel at translating complex accounting concepts to non-finance stakeholders
* Thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments and can adapt quickly to changing priorities
* Are passionate about building scalable processes and systems that grow with the organization
* Care about the societal impacts of your work and are excited about Anthropic's mission to build safe, beneficial AI
Strong candidates may also have:
* CPA certification (active or inactive)
* Big 4 public accounting experience with technology sector clients
* Experience taking a company through an IPO or working in a public company environment
* Expertise in emerging accounting standards and their implications for technology companies
* Knowledge of international accounting standards (IFRS)
* Experience with other reporting tools such as BlackLine, FloQast, or similar platforms
* Background in AI/ML companies or other high-growth technology sectors
* Experience building financial reporting functions from the ground up
* Advanced Excel and data manipulation skills, including experience with Python or SQL for reporting automation
The expected salary range for this position is:
Annual Salary:
$230,000-$300,000 USD
Logistics
Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
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.
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.
