Staff Accountant - Audit & Technical Accounting

About the Team

Formic’s Finance team underpins the infrastructure of our Robotics-as-a-Service model. It is responsible for financial operations, treasury, capital strategy, credit, compliance, accounting, and customer financial servicing. As Formic scales nationwide, Finance plays a central role in ensuring disciplined capital deployment, strong portfolio performance, and long-term financial durability.

About the Role

As Staff Accountant - Technical Accounting, you will play a key role in helping build and scale Formic’s accounting function during a pivotal stage of company growth.

This role is a strong fit for someone coming out of public accounting who wants broader exposure, more ownership, and the opportunity to make a tangible impact in a fast-moving environment. You’ll apply the technical foundation you’ve built in audit and advisory work while gaining hands-on experience across operational accounting, audit readiness, technical accounting, and process improvement.

You will work hands-on across audit, technical accounting, and complex transactions, while also helping modernize the finance function through automation and AI-enabled tools. Rather than stepping into a narrowly defined role, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute across multiple areas of the function and grow your scope over time.

This is an opportunity to join a high-growth company where you can continue developing technically while also building the operational and strategic experience that’s difficult to gain in public accounting alone.

In this role you will: 

Audit & Controls:

• Prepare audit schedules and reconciliations, including gathering supporting documentation
• Partner directly with auditors to respond to requests and ensure efficient audit execution
• Strengthen internal controls and elevate documentation standards across the accounting function
• Identify and implement improvements to audit readiness, accuracy, and efficiency

Technical & Specialized Accounting:

• Research, document, and support the execution of technical accounting areas (e.g., revenue recognition, lease accounting, R&D tax credit)
• Contribute to accounting and reporting for complex transactions and new initiatives (e.g., securitization-related reporting)
• Maintenance expense tracking and review, including policy review and improvements
• Ensure accurate and consistent application of accounting policies across evolving business activities
• Partner cross-functionally to support accurate, timely financial reporting
• Support and improve monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes

Technology- and AI-driven Process Improvement:

• Identify and drive opportunities to automate reconciliations, reporting, and workflows
• Support implementation and adoption of AI-enabled accounting tools and financial systems
• Improve processes to reduce manual work, increase accuracy, and enhance scalability
• Bring forward AI-enabled and process efficiency ideas and actively contribute to building a more modern, tech-enabled finance function

What Makes You a Great Fit:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
• 2–5+ years of public accounting experience (Big 4 preferred)
• Strong understanding of US GAAP
• Proven success supporting audits or financial reporting
• Experience with automation, systems, or AI applications within finance preferred
• Proficiency in Excel and strong analytical skills
• Experience with ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle)
• Exposure to revenue recognition (ASC 606), lease accounting (ASC 842), credit losses (ASC 326)
• Experience in a high-growth or technology-driven environment is a plus

What This Role Offers

• A strong transition opportunity from public accounting into a high-growth operating environment
• Broad exposure across technical accounting, audit readiness, operational accounting, and complex transactions
• Meaningful ownership and visibility early in your career
• The opportunity to help build and improve processes as the company scales — not just maintain existing ones
• Hands-on experience with automation and modern finance systems
• Accelerated career growth and the ability to expand your scope alongside the business
• Exposure to a fast-scaling technology company at a pivotal stage of growth
