Accounting Operations

What is Kalshi? Kalshi has defined a new category: prediction markets. Kalshi allows people to trade on the outcome of any events and turn any question about the future into a financial asset. Kalshi fought for years and legalized prediction markets in the US for the first time in history, is currently the fastest growing financial market in America, and has thousands of markets across politics, economics, financials, weather, tech, AI, culture and more. We believe prediction markets have the potential to be the largest financial market because they turn anything into a financial position.

• Our vision: well… build the largest financial market on the planet.

• Our mission: bring more truth to the world through the power of markets.

Our culture is simple: we hire really talented people, work really hard, and enjoy the climb. We are looking for ambitious and exceptional people to join our (relatively small) team to help us build the next generation of financial markets.

Role Roadmap Accounting Operations will own accounts payable, travel and expense (T&E), and procurement end to end at a high-growth company. Our expenses are large and growing quickly, transaction volume rises every month, and we onboard new vendors at a high and steady clip, so the processes and controls behind spend have to scale with the business. The role is deliberately broad: run these functions day to day, and make them better. This is a hands-on role because we are building the function. You will own the systems, policies, and controls, step into the day-to-day work when it is needed, and improve the process as you go. A core part of the job is developing the AP team: coaching them, raising the bar on quality, and building the procedures and cross-training that let the group run without depending on any one person.

What You’ll Do Accounts payable

• Own the full AP cycle: vendor onboarding, invoice coding and approval, payment runs, and vendor inquiries

• Lead month-end AP close: accruals, reconciliations, and cut-off review

• Own vendor master data, including bank-detail change controls and 1099 compliance

Travel and expense

• Own the T&E policy, the expense system, and the corporate card program

• Oversee expense review and reimbursement; address repeat policy exceptions

Procurement

• Run the requisition and PO process so spend is approved before it is committed

• Maintain the approval matrix and partner with budget owners on vendor contracts and renewals

Process improvement and controls

• Document current processes, find the manual steps and bottlenecks, and fix them

• Drive automation across AP, T&E, and procurement (invoice capture, workflow routing, ERP integrations)

• Design and maintain controls over the spend cycle: segregation of duties, approval thresholds, duplicate-payment and vendor-fraud prevention

• Define and report operating metrics (invoice cycle time, share of spend under PO, exceptions, close timing)

• Be the point person for auditors on AP, T&E, and procurement

Team development

• Manage and coach the AP team; set clear goals and give regular feedback

• Build documented procedures and cross-training so coverage does not depend on one person

• Act as the escalation point for vendors, employees, and budget owners

What You Bring

• 5+ years in accounting operations, including time managing AP or a broader procure-to-pay function

• Have run AP and at least one of T&E or procurement

• Have improved a process you owned and can point to the results

• Know the controls that matter in the spend cycle and have put them in place

• Hands-on with an ERP and an AP automation or expense platform (e.g. NetSuite, Bill.com, Coupa, Ramp, Expensify)

• Have managed and developed a small team

Preferred qualifications

• Built a procurement or PO process from end to end

• Worked at a fast-growing company, building processes designed to scale as volume increased.
