About Certn

At Certn, we’re changing how trust works with The World’s Easiest Background Check. We’ve raised $127M+, earned Deloitte Fast 50 recognition three years in a row, and we’re still only scratching the surface. Our goal is straightforward: help people move faster - into jobs, homes, and opportunities - by simplifying the path to trust.

We’re not a traditional background screening company. We’re a team of curious, collaborative builders who care about solving real problems for real people. We challenge each other, move fast, and have fun doing it. If you want to grow, make an impact, and help shape products used by millions, this is your place. Let’s build what’s next, together.

About the Role

The Senior Accountant is responsible for managing Certn’s regional accounting operations, with the primary objective of ensuring the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of financial reporting. This role is essential to enabling confident business decision-making by providing reliable financial data, maintaining compliance with accounting standards and internal policies, and ensuring operational integrity.

This position supports a team of accounting professionals, fostering a high-performance culture that emphasizes accountability, continuous learning, and cross-functional collaboration. By developing the team’s technical capabilities and streamlining core accounting processes, the Senior Accountant ensures the team delivers consistent, high-quality outputs that support monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting cycles.

The desired outcome of this role is to establish a resilient, efficient accounting function that not only meets compliance requirements but also contributes to Certn’s broader financial goals through timely insight, strong internal controls, and scalable practices that support business growth.

Review and reconcile intercompany transactions to ensure accurate consolidated reporting.
Own and complete the month-end regional checklist, ensuring process consistency and completeness across all accounting functions.

Partner closely with the Assistant Controller to validate and explain regional financial data, ensuring readiness for consolidation and senior leadership reporting.
Proactively identify and resolve accounting issues, discrepancies, or risks, implementing corrective actions and strengthening internal processes.
