Each person and every business in America depends on accurate, trustworthy accounting. It underpins financial security for individuals and informs the decisions that shape companies. Yet most of us never receive meaningful financial guidance because accountants are overwhelmed by mundane, time consuming tasks. Businesses face the same pressures. Instead of using accounting as a strategic asset, they get pulled into administrative work that drains focus and limits growth.
Accrual exists to change that dynamic. When accountants can work with speed and precision, the benefits extend across the entire economy. We make that possible by automating the busywork so firms can redirect their time and expertise toward high value advisory services.
Professional services are entering a major transformation, and accounting is one of the toughest real world domains for applied AI. The work involves messy, inconsistent financial data, rule systems with countless edge cases, and workflows that span many conditional steps.
Solving these problems requires building agents that can reason through constraints, plan multistep workflows, and execute them with precision. You’ll design the systems around them: retrieval, deterministic checks, data validation, correction loops, and orchestration layers that produce reliable, auditable results. This is applied AI where correctness is paramount and every failure mode needs a designed path. The result is software that meaningfully increases the throughput, accuracy, and impact of accounting teams.
The entire company comes together several times a year and we often gather in smaller groups when high bandwidth collaboration helps. We know everyone works differently, so we offer people the flexibility to work in the way that helps them move quickly and think clearly.
As part of a small team, you'll have real ownership across the stack. You won't just ship features here. Every interaction with a customer and every change you ship directly shapes how accounting firms operate. You'll work closely with firm leaders to understand their needs, introduce new technologies, reshape workflows, and unlock growth they couldn't reach before.
If that sounds like you, send your social links (GitHub, LinkedIn, X) to jobs@accrual.com. We're always eager to meet exceptional people – if you think you could help us build Accrual, reach out.
We want you to have the best chance to show what you're great at, so we use paid work trials with tasks shaped around the real work you'd take on here. It's the fastest way for both sides to see how we think, how we collaborate, and what it actually feels like to build together day to day. Early in the process, you'll meet team members and our co-founders to learn more about the company, our vision and the hard problems we're tackling in the accounting world.
We provide comprehensive, competitive benefits for employees and their families.
