The Role

Crafty is seeking a Senior Accounting Specialist, AP + Partner Billing to support the day-to-day accounting operations for Accounts Payable, Partner Billing, and month-end close activities.

They will work closely with the Accounting Manager, Flatworld resources, vendors, partners, and internal stakeholders across Finance, Client Success, Operations, and Business Development.

They are detail-oriented, systems-fluent, proactive, and comfortable managing queues, reconciliations, checklists, documentation, and recurring accounting processes in a fast-paced environment. Success in this role means accounting operations move efficiently, exceptions are identified early, financial records remain accurate, and close activities are completed on time.
