Senior Technical Accounting & Financial Reporting Accountant

About This Role

Strava is the app for active people. With over 150 million athletes in more than 185 countries, Strava is where connection, motivation, and personal bests thrive. No matter your activity, gear, or goals, we help you find your crew, crush your milestones, and keep moving forward. Start your journey with Strava today. 

Our mission is simple: to motivate people to live their best active lives. We believe in the power of movement to connect and drive people forward.

This is an exciting opportunity to help shape the future of technical accounting and financial reporting at Strava. As a Senior Technical Accounting & Reporting Accountant, you’ll play a key role in maintaining the accuracy of our financials, supporting audit readiness, and driving technical accounting projects as we scale. You’ll work cross-functionally and contribute to building out the foundation of a growing finance team at a high-impact, fast-moving company.

We follow a flexible hybrid model that generally translates to around half your time on-site in our San Francisco office —roughly three days per week. 

This application closes on Friday, July 18th at 5pm PT. 

What You’ll Do:

• Research and document technical accounting issues across a variety of areas including revenue recognition, leases, capitalized software, intangibles, stock-based compensation, and business combinations.
• Support monthly and quarterly close processes by preparing journal entries, performing account reconciliations, and conducting fluctuation analyses.
• Contribute to the preparation of financial statements, footnote disclosures, and other key reporting deliverables.
• Apply and help maintain Strava’s accounting policies across teams and initiatives.
• Assist with audit readiness by compiling documentation and responding to external audit inquiries.
• Partner with cross-functional teams such as Legal, FP&A, and Engineering to support accounting considerations related to new initiatives. 

What You’ll Bring to the Team:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or a related field; CPA strongly preferred.
• 3–5 years of relevant experience, ideally a mix of public accounting and in-house experience at a tech or consumer-facing company. IPO readiness or reporting tool implementation experience is a plus.
• Solid understanding of U.S. GAAP and demonstrated ability to apply standards in real-world scenarios.
• Hands-on experience with close and reporting processes, including working with auditors during financial statement audits.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to deliver high-quality work on time.
• Comfortable working with large datasets, and proficient in Excel or Google Sheets; experience with ERP systems like NetSuite is a plus.
• Curious, collaborative, and eager to grow your accounting expertise in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
