Staff Accountant
Job description
About the role
Evertune is building the first AI discovery platform for modern marketers. In this role, you own the full execution of accounts receivable and billing, turning complex usage-based inputs and customer-specific pricing into accurate, on-time invoices. You will read and interpret customer contracts, manage billing reconciliations, and drive collections follow-up while maintaining strict accuracy in customer account setup. This position requires comfort with ambiguous situations where no playbook exists, and you will be responsible for keeping critical billing workflows moving smoothly and error-free. You will partner directly with Sales and Client Services to resolve disputes and communicate professionally with customers about payments and portal issues. As you grow into the role, you will expand responsibilities into accounts payable, credit card reconciliations, and month-end close under the guidance of the Controller. The right candidate is detail-oriented, smart, and eager to learn, with strong judgment and a service-minded approach to every customer interaction. A CPA is not required, but your work will directly support the company's mission to make AI-driven marketing insights actionable for brands.
