Who We Are

Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together. We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion.

Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn’t to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business’s system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life’s work.

About the Role:

We're looking for a hands-on Accounting Manager to help us run a smooth, high-quality month-end close and strengthen our core GL processes as Notion grows globally. You'll take real ownership of close operations across multiple entities and currencies, while working closely with teammates across FP&A, Treasury, Payroll, AP, and Tax to keep things moving together - and leading cross-functional projects along the way, from kickoff to completion. We'd love someone who's detail-oriented, easy to collaborate with, and genuinely cares about building processes that hold up over time - not just getting through the close each month, but making the next one a little better.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA USA. We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (our Anchor Days) because we do our best thinking and building together in person. We’re looking for someone who’s excited to work alongside the team during those days!

What You'll Achieve:

• Take end-to-end ownership of key areas of the month-end close - whether specific GL areas, intercompany, or allocations - with clear documentation, tight controls, and a review cadence the team can rely on

• Use AI tools to strengthen close quality: catching issues earlier, sharpening flux and variance reviews, and drafting checklists and controls documentation that raise the bar across the team

• Lead cross-functional initiatives - system implementations, process improvements, audits, new entity openings - with clear timelines, milestones, and steady communication along the way

• Mentor junior team members with clear goals, regular feedback, and real investment in their growth as the team scales

• Partner closely with FP&A, Tax, Treasury, Payroll, AP, and other cross-functional teams to keep accounting projects moving and on track

• Support business reporting needs, from recurring management reporting to ad hoc analysis when questions come up

• Spot opportunities for process improvement and automation, and help bring them to life

• Bring operational rigor that makes our close and reporting more scalable, audit-ready, and built for the company's next stage of growth

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

• 6+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally at a high-growth or multinational SaaS company

• Solid grounding in US GAAP, expense allocations, and intercompany accounting

• Comfort with multi-currency accounting and reporting across global entities

• Hands-on experience with accounting systems like NetSuite, Zip, Ramp or similar tools

• Some exposure to public-company readiness or internal controls frameworks (SOX experience is a plus)

• Strong project management skills, with a track record of driving cross-functional initiatives from kickoff to completion

• Strong communication skills and a natural ability to partner across teams

• A genuine enthusiasm for process improvement and staying efficient in a fast-paced environment

• An AI-forward mindset - you're comfortable using AI tools to improve close accuracy, speed, and documentation

Notion is committed to providing highly competitive cash compensation, equity, and benefits. The compensation offered for this role will be based on multiple factors such as location, the role’s scope and complexity, and the candidate’s experience and expertise, and may vary from the range provided below.

A Note on AI

You don’t need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement — when that’s the case, we'll say so explicitly in the qualifications. People who thrive here don’t treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on.
