Our mission is to enable the world to ship the best products. That starts with creating a place where everyone can do their best work. Whether you're building on our platform, supporting our customers, or shaping our story: You can just ship things.

About the Role:

Vercel is scaling fast, and the Senior Manager, Corporate Accounting will be at the center of building the financial infrastructure that takes us to the public markets and beyond.

You'll own a diverse portfolio of accounting areas, from accruals and commissions to M&A integration and subsidiary accounting, while playing a key role in the monthly and quarterly close alongside a collaborative accounting leadership team. You'll work closely with FP&A and business partners, manage a team you'll actively develop, and partner with an offshore team on subsidiary work. You'll also have a real runway to modernize how the function operates: designing SOX-aligned controls that scale, and building AI-powered workflows that eliminate manual work and free your team up for higher-value analysis.

You will report to our Controller and will be based in San Francisco with a 3 day/week in-office requirement.

What You Will Do:

  • Own and lead the monthly and quarterly close for assigned areas, setting clear standards for accuracy, completeness, and timeliness, while reviewing team work, and providing guidance.
  • Coach, mentor, and support the professional development of team members, providing regular feedback, career guidance, and growth opportunities.
  • Oversee subsidiary accounting work performed by an offshore team, managing timelines, reviewing deliverables, and resolving issues.
  • Work closely with FP&A and business partners to keep actuals, forecasts, and business assumptions aligned, and to flag issues early.
  • Assist in implementing accounting policies and procedures to ensure all financial transactions are carried out in accordance with GAAP principles.
  • Lead accounting work for acquisitions, including onboarding new entities and aligning policies and systems.
  • Lead close and process improvements, simplifying workflows, strengthening controls, and scaling the function as the business grows.
  • Design, implement, and evolve SOX-aligned controls that scale with the business, strengthen audit readiness, and support execution.
  • Build and use AI agents and automation to eliminate manual work and free the team up for higher-value analysis.
  • Own the audit relationship for your areas—preparing materials, answering questions, and keeping audits moving smoothly.
  • Take the lead on cross-functional projects, while coaching and developing team members along the way.

    • About You:

  • 7+ years of accounting experience, including at least 3 years at a Big 4 firm and 2+ years in industry.
  • 3+ years of people management or supervisory experience, with a track record of leading and developing teams.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required; CPA required.
  • Experience owning accounting for capitalized commissions.
  • Advanced knowledge of US GAAP and SOX, with the ability to apply guidance practically in a growing organization.
  • Hands-on accounting leader with a strong sense of ownership, able to manage competing priorities while setting clear expectations and driving results across the team.
  • Process-minded and curious, with experience leveraging AI, automation, and systems to improve accuracy, efficiency, and scalability.
  • Experienced cross-functional partner, aligning accounting processes with how the business operates and how leadership needs to see the results.
  • Clear, confident communicator who collaborates effectively across teams and translates accounting concepts into plain language for non-accountants.
  • Thrives in fast-moving, evolving environments, balancing speed with sound judgment as the company grows.

    • The San Francisco, CA base pay range for this role is $190,000 - $230,000.
