About Supabase

Supabase is the Postgres development platform, built by developers for developers. We provide a complete backend solution including Database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, and Vector Search. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth.

About the Role

We're looking for a detail-oriented, driven Senior Accountant to join our Accounting team at an exciting time of growth for Supabase. As we continue to scale, we're expanding the team to add experience, spread responsibilities, and strengthen the processes that keep our financials accurate and timely. This is a hands-on role with real ownership and a lot of autonomy.

In this role, you'll support the month-end close, perform analytics on financial results, assist with external audit and tax requests, and take on ad-hoc projects. You'll collaborate across Finance and the wider company, including FP&A, People/Payroll, and Legal, and work with our external audit, tax, and technical accounting partners, while contributing to the continuous improvement of our processes and controls. This role is open to candidates based in North America.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and is excited about building developer tools that scale to millions.

What You'll Be Responsible For

  • Own key areas of the monthly, quarterly, and annual close within your assigned areas, preparing workpapers, journal entries, account reconciliations, flux analysis, and accruals in accordance with US GAAP

  • Perform detailed analytics over financial results to confirm completeness and accuracy, and investigate and communicate discrepancies promptly

  • Partner with FP&A, People/Payroll, Legal, and other teams to understand business processes, ensure proper accounting, and resolve reconciling differences

  • Support external audits and tax requests, serving as a point of contact and coordinating with external partners

  • Prepare ad-hoc analyses and support reporting requirements

  • Take initiative to recommend and implement process improvements that simplify, standardize, and streamline how we work

  • Participate in special projects, including process and system improvements

  • Handle day-to-day operational accounting activities with a high level of accuracy

You Might Be a Good Fit If You

  • Have 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally a mix of public accounting (Big 4 preferred) and private industry

  • Have a CPA or equivalent (preferred)

  • Have a strong technical accounting background and solid knowledge of US GAAP

  • Have ERP experience, and experience in tech or high-growth company accounting is a plus

  • Are willing to roll up your sleeves and dig into the details

  • Communicate clearly, both in writing and verbally, and are comfortable building relationships at all levels of the organization, including senior leadership and audit partners

  • Are self-motivated and proactive in identifying problems and proposing solutions

  • Are organized and able to manage multiple priorities and deadlines, and can switch gears quickly in a fast-paced, high-growth environment

  • Work well both independently and collaboratively, are comfortable in async teams, and navigate ambiguity with ease

  • Are energized by improving processes

We know not everyone will meet every qualification on day one. If you're excited about this role and want to grow with us, we encourage you to apply.

What We Offer

  • Fully Remote

    We hire globally. We believe you can do your best work from anywhere. There are no Supabase offices, but we provide a WeWork membership or co-working allowance you can use anywhere in the world.

  • ESOP

    Every team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company. We want everyone to share in the upside of what we’re building together.

  • Tech Allowance

    Use this budget to set up your ideal work environment—laptop, monitor, headphones, or whatever helps you do your best work.

  • Health Benefits

    Supabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents, wherever you are. Your wellbeing and your family’s health are important to us.

  • Annual Off-Sites

    Once a year, the entire company gathers in a new city for a week of connection, collaboration, and fun. It’s a highlight of our year.

  • Flexible Work

    We operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time. You know what needs to be done and when.

  • Professional Development

    Every team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning—courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your growth.

About the Team

Supabase was born-remote and open-source-first. We believe our globally distributed team is our secret weapon in building tools developers love.

  • ~400 team members

  • 60+ countries

  • 20+ languages spoken

  • Over $1B raised (including our $500M Series F)

  • 540,000+ community members

We move fast, build in public, and use what we ship. If it’s in your project, we probably use it in ours too. We believe deeply in the open-source ecosystem and strive to support—not replace—existing tools and communities.
