Role Roadmap

Kalshi is looking for a Senior Accountant to join our growing Finance team. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who wants to own meaningful parts of the accounting close, improve processes, and help build the financial infrastructure of a rapidly scaling company.

You’ll work across the business to ensure transactions are recorded accurately, accounts are reconciled, and our financials are complete and audit-ready. As Kalshi continues to scale, you’ll also help strengthen controls, automate workflows, and build processes that can support increasing complexity and future public-company requirements.

• Ensure transactions are recorded accurately and in accordance with U.S. GAAP

• Maintain balance sheet accounts and proactively investigate and resolve discrepancies

• Support preparation of monthly financial statements and management reporting

• Partner with teams across the company to understand new products, transactions, and accounting implications

• Support external audits and ensure schedules and supporting documentation are audit-ready

• Help develop and maintain accounting policies, processes, and internal controls

• Identify opportunities to automate and streamline accounting workflows

• Support technical accounting analysis for new or unusual transactions as needed

• Help build the accounting infrastructure required as Kalshi continues to scale

What You Bring

• 4+ years of accounting experience, ideally with a combination of public accounting and operating-company experience

• Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP and core accounting principles

• Experience owning significant components of the monthly close

• Strong experience with journal entries, account reconciliations, and financial statement preparation

• Ability to independently investigate accounting issues and drive them to resolution

• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to operate in a fast-moving environment

• Comfortable working cross-functionally and translating business activity into accurate accounting treatment

• Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills

• CPA preferred

• Experience at a high-growth technology, fintech, financial services, or other complex business is a plus

• Experience supporting audits, implementing controls, or preparing a company for increased reporting requirements is a plus
