About the role

Lead responsible for accounting of fal's compute costs (GPU capacity, cloud/data center commitments) and build automated, scalable workflows for compute accounting, partnering with Finance, Operations, and Engineering.

Responsibilities

  • Own the accounting for fal's compute costs: GPU capacity, cloud and data center commitments, and the infrastructure behind our platform.
  • Build AI agents, scripts and automated workflows that keep compute accounting accurate, timely and scalable, rather than manual and spreadsheet-driven.
  • Act as the accounting owner for compute vendors. Translate contracts, usage data and invoices into correct accounting and give clear insight into what compute really costs.
  • Account for GPU and cloud provider agreements from start to finish, including reserved and committed capacity, usage-based billing, credits and true-ups.
  • Collaborate with Procurement to ensure we have a reliable, systems based schedule of every compute commitment, prepayment, deposit and asset.
  • Capitalize GPU servers, networking and data center equipment. Set useful lives and manage depreciation, disposals and impairment reviews.
  • Classify compute cost correctly between cost of revenue and operating expense (R&D and internal use) so Strategic Finance can rely on it for gross margin reporting.
  • Streamline recurring close work, leaning on AI/systems to assess usage data, match invoices to PO and contractual commitments, flag anomalies and draft journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations and variance explanations.
  • Collaborate with Infrastructure and Engineering on capacity changes, and with Strategic Finance on forecasts, budget vs. actual and cost per unit of compute.
  • Ensure compute and infrastructure accounting is audit-ready with clear documentation and policies
  • Review compute and colocation agreements with Technical Accounting, Legal, and Procurement to identify embedded leases (ASC 842) and other terms that impact accounting.
  • Support ERP system implementation, including data flows, account structure and migration needs for compute costs.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA preferred
  • 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, preferably a combination of public accounting and operational experience at a technology company (cloud infrastructure, SaaS, or AI strongly preferred)
  • A builder mindset that enjoys drawing the blueprint for automated, reliable and scalable processes
  • Best-in-class attention to detail and unwavering commitment to accuracy in an ever-changing business environment
  • Strong written and interpersonal communication skills — you can partner with internal and external stakeholders on complex topics and translate technical accounting into clear, concise takeaways for non-technical audiences
  • High agency — you set your own priorities, make decisions independently, and drive work to completion
  • Strong understanding of the AI development and platform infrastructure landscape
  • Experience at a high-growth software, cloud infrastructure, AI, or other capital-intensive technology company
  • AI and automation first. You use the latest AI tools — or build your own — to automate reconciliations, analyze large usage/spend datasets, and streamline your work
