About the role The Accounting team serves as the central hub for financial reporting, tax compliance, and balance sheet integrity at Persona. As a General Ledger Accountant / Senior Accountant, you will play a critical role in operating and scaling a NetSuite-based, multi-entity accounting function that supports Personas growing international footprint.

This role will focus on global balance sheet ownership, tax compliance support, and month-end close execution across multiple legal entities and currencies. You will work hands-on in NetSuite to ensure accurate entity-level and consolidated reporting, maintain intercompany accounting, and support timely, audit-ready financial close processes.

While reconciliations, journal entries, and financial statements are core to the role, we take personal ownership over building durable processes and controls. You will partner closely with Finance, Tax, Payroll, Legal, and external advisors to improve how we operate as Persona scales globally.

• Support financial reporting and global tax compliance, partnering with external advisors on income tax, VAT/GST, and statutory filings.
• Collaborate cross-functionally (e.g., Payroll, People Ops) and support audits by preparing schedules, reconciliations, and required documentation.
• Drive process improvements by documenting, automating, and enhancing NetSuite workflows, internal controls, and supporting international expansion projects.

What youll bring to Persona

• 4+ years of accounting or audit experience, ideally within SaaS or usage-based revenue environments.
• Strong knowledge of US GAAP, including hands-on experience with ASC 740 and familiarity with broader accounting standards.
