Join us in building the future of finance.

Our mission is to democratize finance for all. An estimated $124 trillion of assets will be inherited by younger generations in the next two decades. The largest transfer of wealth in human history. If you’re ready to be at the epicenter of this historic cultural and financial shift, keep reading.

About the team + role

We are building an elite team, applying frontier technologies to the world’s biggest financial problems. We’re looking for bold thinkers. Sharp problem-solvers. Builders who are wired to make an impact. Robinhood isn’t a place for complacency, it’s where ambitious people do the best work of their careers. We’re a high-performing, fast-moving team with ethics at the center of everything we do. Expectations are high, and so are the rewards.

Robinhood's Technical Accounting team sits at the intersection of innovation and rigor — translating novel products and complex transactions into sound, defensible accounting positions. We're looking for a collaborative, analytically sharp problem-solver to join us as a Technical Accounting Manager supporting new products and strategic transactions.

In this role, you'll evaluate emerging and often ambiguous fact patterns, form well-reasoned accounting conclusions, and help shape how new products and deals are structured from an accounting perspective. You'll work cross-functionally with Product, Legal, Controllership, Tax, Finance, Financial Reporting, Internal Controls, and our external auditors to ensure Robinhood's accounting keeps pace with its fast-evolving business.

This role is based in our Menlo Park, CA; or New York, NY offices, with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week.

At Robinhood, we believe in the power of in-person work to accelerate progress, spark innovation, and strengthen community. Our office experience is intentional, energizing, and designed to fully support high-performing teams.

What you’ll do

  • Own technical accounting research and conclusions for new products, strategic transactions, and other novel or judgmental fact patterns — researching relevant US GAAP and SEC guidance, and drafting clear, well-supported position papers and memos
  • Partner early with Product and Deal teams to understand proposed structures, identify accounting implications upfront, and help shape deal and product terms before they're finalized
  • Evaluate emerging areas (e.g., crypto/digital assets, new revenue arrangements, and other frontier products) where authoritative guidance is still developing, applying sound judgment to reach and document defensible conclusions
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Legal, Tax, Finance, Financial Reporting, and other cross-functional teams to ensure accounting conclusions are integrated consistently across financial statements, disclosures, and controls
  • Advise on accounting areas such as ASC 606 revenue recognition, ASC 350-60 digital assets, ASC 810 consolidation and VIE evaluation, and ASC 815 Derivatives

What you bring

  • 5-8 years of progressive experience in a technical accounting role
  • Public accounting experience; Big 4 or national firm experience preferred
  • Prior experience designing, implementing, and documenting technical accounting policies and procedures
  • Excellent knowledge of U.S. GAAP, including ability to research accounting literature, establish a position and develop procedures for implementation
  • Ability to interpret complex technical guidance and effectively present accounting positions both in written and verbal form
  • Experience at a crypto company is a plus

What we offer

  • Challenging, high-impact work to grow your career.
  • Performance-driven compensation with multipliers for outsized impact, bonus programs, equity ownership, and 401(k) matching.
  • Best-in-class benefits to fuel your work, including 100% paid health insurance for employees with 90% coverage for dependents.
  • Lifestyle wallet — a highly flexible benefits spending account for wellness, learning, and more.
  • Employer-paid life & disability insurance, fertility benefits, and mental health benefits.
  • Time off to recharge including company holidays, paid time off, sick time, parental leave, and more!
  • Exceptional office experience with catered meals, events, and comfortable workspaces.
