Senior Accountant (USA Only - 100% Remote)

About Us

Close is building the modern CRM for small, scaling businesses - just like us.

Today, we’re 100+ people across 22 countries. We’re united in our goal to help small businesses sell better by eliminating manual work and empowering them to focus on what matters most: relationships. 

Close sets our compass by our customers and our people. Sustainability is core to serving both; we care deeply about the health of our business and the wellbeing of our team. We’re bootstrapped - meaning we’ve accepted no outside funding - and fully remote since 2016. The way we’ve chosen to build the business allows us to chart our own course. 

Our team prioritizes impact, ownership, and quality. As a growing, remote-first company, we favor asynchronicity over meetings and we relentlessly prioritize work that moves the needle. We practice a mature approach to the workplace -- we expect our team to manage time effectively, communicate thoughtfully with teammates and customers, and produce great work.
