Full job description

About Us Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar.

Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes.

2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler.

We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law.

Joining Legora means three things.

  • We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.

  • We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.

  • We grow together: as a team and with our customers.

Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts. If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.

The Role We’re hiring a Senior Accountant to help scale our accounting function. You’ll play a critical role in our close and reporting processes, partnering closely with Finance leadership and cross-functional teams to deliver accurate, timely, and decision-useful financial information. This is a senior, high-impact role with real ownership. You’ll own key accounting areas, improve processes and controls, and help build a scalable, audit-ready accounting foundation in a fast-paced environment.

What You'll Do

  • Own and support key aspects of the monthly and quarterly close, including journal entries, reconciliations, and flux analysis

  • Manage assigned operational accounting areas (e.g., cash, accruals, payroll, capitalized commissions, fixed assets, or revenue-related balances)

  • Prepare financial analyses and reporting packages for Finance leadership and FP&A

  • Partner with FP&A to ensure alignment between accounting results, forecasts, and business drivers

  • Improve and automate close processes, internal controls, and reporting workflows

  • Maintain accounting policies, procedures, and documentation in accordance with US GAAP

  • Support audit and review processes by preparing documentation and responding to auditor inquiries

  • Collaborate cross-functionally to support business initiatives and ensure accurate financial reporting

What You Bring

  • 6+ years of progressive accounting experience in high-growth or dynamic environments

  • Experience from a technology and/or scale-up start-up environment

  • Strong understanding of US GAAP and general accounting processes

  • Hands-on experience supporting month-end close and financial reporting

  • Detail-oriented, analytical, and comfortable owning work end to end

  • Strong communicator who collaborates well across Finance and the business

Nice to Have

  • Big 4 or high-growth technology company experience

  • CPA or other accounting certification

  • Experience with NetSuite, FloQast, or similar tools

  • Exposure to revenue or product accounting

  • Interest in automation, systems, and AI-enabled workflows

What's In It For You

  • Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients across Europe, APAC, and North America.

  • Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.

  • Meaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily.

  • In-person environment: Union Square office designed for ambitious builders and company provided lunch daily.

  • Benefits & Perks: We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package: Medical, Dental & Vision

  • Multiple medical plan options via Aetna and Kaiser Permanente

  • HSA or Healthcare FSA (based on plan selection)

  • Dental plans via MetLife

  • Vision plans via Vision Care

Family Support

  • Generous parental leave

  • Free access to Maven Clinic

  • Dependent Care FSA

  • Free One Medical membership for employees and dependents

Additional Perks

  • Pre-tax commuter benefits

  • Life Insurance + STD/LTD

  • 401(K) with generous company match

  • Unlimited PTO

  • Robust voluntary benefits, including identity protection (via Aura), legal coverage via MetLife, pet savings programs, and more
