Motivated by meaningful work, you want more than a routine accounting job, you’re looking to join a fast-growing, purpose-driven company. You thrive in a collaborative environment where ideas move quickly, and you’re eager to learn, experiment, and make a tangible impact.

As Senior Accountant, you’ll own and elevate the entire revenue cycle — leading invoicing, payment reminders, and collections, while ensuring every transaction is accurate and fully compliant with accounting standards and commercial agreements. This role goes far beyond traditional accounting tasks; you’ll partner closely with Sales and Operations to shape processes that drive revenue recognition, improve cash flow, and strengthen internal controls.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to grow into broader finance or operational leadership. You’ll solve complex problems, design new approaches, and collaborate across teams to build a best-in-class revenue function — setting yourself up for the next step in your career while helping Semios scale sustainably.

• Leadership: Provide guidance and support by identifying opportunities. Collaborate with departments such as FP&A, Tax, Operations, and Legal to provide accounting insight on business initiatives, new contracts, or operational changes. Ensure alignment between accounting treatment and business strategy.

Participate in system enhancements, testing, and implementation of new features.
• Revenue Accounting (Order to Cash):
• • Lead and optimize invoicing and the payment reminder/ collection processes, working in partnership with the Junior Accountant, with emphasis being effectiveness and efficiency.
  • Ensure accurate revenue recognition in accordance with accounting standards, company policy and commercial terms; supported by month-end close practices through complete and accurate reconciliations, journal entries and analysis.
