Sample interview questionsDescribe how you would evaluate an accounting issue involving a new or unusual product offering.I would first understand the transaction economics, contractual terms, legal structure, and relevant data flows. I would research applicable U.S. GAAP guidance, identify alternatives where judgment is required, consult stakeholders and auditors as appropriate, and document a clear conclusion with supporting authoritative literature, risks, and implementation requirements.

How do you ensure a technical accounting memo is ready for audit and regulatory scrutiny?

I use a disciplined structure covering facts, issue identification, applicable guidance, analysis of alternatives, conclusion, and required disclosures or controls. I validate assumptions with business owners, cite authoritative sources precisely, retain supporting evidence, and obtain timely internal and auditor feedback on significant conclusions.

Tell us about a time you implemented a new accounting standard.

I would begin with an impact assessment across transactions, systems, controls, reporting, and disclosures. From there, I would create a cross-functional implementation plan, establish accounting policies and documentation, coordinate testing and training, and monitor post-implementation results to ensure consistent application.

How would you manage disagreement with an external auditor on a technical conclusion?

I would keep the discussion fact-based and collaborative, clearly presenting the transaction details, relevant guidance, and our documented analysis. I would listen carefully to the auditor's interpretation, assess alternative views objectively, involve appropriate internal leadership or technical resources, and seek a timely, well-supported resolution.

What accounting risks do you anticipate in a rapidly growing financial-market or fintech company?

Key risks can include accounting for novel transactions, revenue recognition, financial instruments, contingencies, regulatory developments, data completeness, and controls that have not scaled with the business. I would prioritize early involvement in new initiatives, maintain current policies, and build controls and documentation proportionate to the company’s growth and regulatory exposure.

### What We’re Up To

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. Kalshi is currently the fastest growing financial market in America, and has over 1,900 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.

Building a new category is hard… like, really hard. But it’s [beautiful and deeply fulfilling](https://x.com/Kalshi/status/1853456453886980215). 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.

Proven success influencing cross-functional teams and driving alignment across Accounting, Legal, Finance, and Compliance

*

Analytical, structured thinker with exceptional attention to detail and strong written and verbal communication skills

*

A lifelong learner passionate about technical accounting, regulatory change, and continuous improvement

### Our Culture

Meritocracy is at our core, and we value people who take ownership and figure (usually hard) things out. We dream big. We love our craft deeply and are proud of what we put out in the world. We are committed to our vision of building something big… but also useful: a product that brings more truth through the power of markets.
