Senior Analyst, SEC Reporting & Technical Accounting

The Technical Accounting and SEC Reporting team is responsible for delivering timely and accurate financial reporting, accounting for complex accounting transactions across a variety of accounting topics in accordance with US GAAP, maintaining accounting policies in key accounting areas, all while partnering with teams across the company. As a member of the team, you'll play a vital role in designing and maintaining scalable procedures, policies and internal controls to ensure compliance with US GAAP and other laws/regulations. The ideal candidate will be a proactive, highly analytical and technical individual who can work independently and prioritize effectively across multiple deliverables.

This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.

What you'll do at Figma:

• Support preparation of quarterly (10-Q) and annual (10-K) SEC filings, including financial statements, footnotes, MD&A sections, and XBRL tagging
• Research and draft technical accounting position memos for complex transactions, including equity compensation (ASC 718), business combinations (ASC 805), capitalized software (ASC 350), and leases (ASC 842)
• Prepare and review monthly equity accounting journal entries (RSUs, PSUs, options) and maintain equity roll forward schedules
• Contribute to the monthly and quarterly close process, including balance sheet reconciliations and flux analyses
• Partner cross-functionally with Legal, FP&A, Tax, Stock Administration, and Investor Relations to coordinate financial reporting deliverables
• Maintain internal accounting policies and process documentation in a SOX-compliant environment
• Stay current on emerging SEC regulations and new GAAP pronouncements; flag potential impacts to the team

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• 3+ years of experience in public accounting (Big 4 or large regional firm) or at a public company in a technical accounting or SEC reporting role
• Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP, particularly ASC 718, ASC 805, ASC 350, and ASC 842
• Hands-on experience supporting or preparing SEC filings (10-Q / 10-K)
• Excellent communication skills — you can research a complex accounting issue and document your conclusion clearly
• Proven ability to operate autonomously, manage competing priorities, and deliver under tight deadlines

While it's not required, it's an added plus if you also have:

• Experience using Workiva
• CPA license
• Prior exposure to equity compensation accounting, M&A transactions, or SaaS revenue recognition
