About Caribou 

At Caribou, we care about giving people financial freedom so they can focus on what’s most important to them. Today, less than two percent of Americans refinance their auto loans despite drastic increases in the cost of new and used cars. We see huge potential to help folks reduce their monthly auto expenses, as well as increase the predictability of those expenses over time. We do this by building technology to pair customers with community banks and credit unions, and ushering them through the process quickly. On average, our drivers save $130/month on their car loans while protecting their investment long term. 

Caribou is led by leaders from the technology, automotive, and finance industries. We’re proud to be backed by a great team of investors, including QED Investors, Goldman Sachs, Moderne Ventures, Accomplice, Link Ventures, Motley Fool Ventures and others.

  • Collaborate with the People & Culture team to ensure alignment on payroll-related matters such as benefits, compensation, and audits.
  • Manage the accounting and reporting of stock-based compensation, including grants, vesting, and expense recognition in accordance with ASC 718.
  • Own the tax processes including overseeing the preparation and filing of sales tax, payroll and income tax returns, responding to tax notices, and ensuring timely payments.
  • Assist in the preparation and review of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in accordance with GAAP, including supporting the annual audit process and investor reporting.
  • Collaborate with senior management cross-functionally to lead or support special technical accounting projects as needed, such as implementation of new processes or process improvements.
