About Supabase
Supabase is the Postgres development platform, built by developers for developers. We provide a complete backend solution including Database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, and Vector Search. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth.
About the Role
We’re looking for a detail-oriented, driven Senior Accountant to join our Accounting team at an exciting time of growth for Supabase. As we continue to scale, we’re expanding the team to add experience, spread responsibilities, and strengthen the processes that keep our financials accurate and timely. This is a hands-on role with real ownership and a lot of autonomy.
In this role, you’ll support the month-end close, perform analytics on financial results, assist with external audit and tax requests, and take on ad-hoc projects. You’ll collaborate across Finance and the wider company, including FP&A, People/Payroll, and Legal, and work with our external audit, tax, and technical accounting partners, while contributing to the continuous improvement of our processes and controls. This role is open to candidates based in North America.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and is excited about building developer tools that scale to millions.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Own key areas of the monthly, quarterly, and annual close within your assigned areas, preparing workpapers, journal entries, account reconciliations, flux analysis, and accruals in accordance with US GAAP
Perform detailed analytics over financial results to confirm completeness and accuracy, and investigate and communicate discrepancies promptly
Partner with FP&A, People/Payroll, Legal, and other teams to understand business processes, ensure proper accounting, and resolve reconciling differences
Support external audits and tax requests, serving as a point of contact and coordinating with external partners
Prepare ad-hoc analyses and support reporting requirements
Take initiative to recommend and implement process improvements that simplify, standardize, and streamline how we work
Participate in special projects, including process and system improvements
Handle day-to-day operational accounting activities with a high level of accuracy
You Might Be a Good Fit If You
Have 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally a mix of public accounting (Big 4 preferred) and private industry
Have a CPA or equivalent (preferred)
Have a strong technical accounting background and solid knowledge of US GAAP
Have ERP experience, and experience in tech or high-growth company accounting is a plus
Are willing to roll up your sleeves and dig into the details
Communicate clearly, both in writing and verbally, and are comfortable building relationships at all levels of the organization, including senior leadership and audit partners
Are self-motivated and proactive in identifying problems and proposing solutions
Are organized and able to manage multiple priorities and deadlines, and can switch gears quickly in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
Work well both independently and collaboratively, are comfortable in async teams, and navigate ambiguity with ease
Are energized by improving processes
We know not everyone will meet every qualification on day one. If you’re excited about this role and want to grow with us, we encourage you to apply.
What We Offer
Fully Remote
We hire globally. We believe you can do your best work from anywhere. There are no Supabase offices, but we provide a WeWork membership or co-working allowance you can use anywhere in the world.
ESOP
Every team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company. We want everyone to share in the upside of what we’re building together.
Tech Allowance
Use this budget to set up your ideal work environment—laptop, monitor, headphones, or whatever helps you do your best work.
Health Benefits
Supabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents, wherever you are. Your wellbeing and your family’s health are important to us.
Annual Off-Sites
Once a year, the entire company gathers in a new city for a week of connection, collaboration, and fun. It’s a highlight of our year.
Flexible Work
We operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time. You know what needs to be done and when.
Professional Development
Every team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning—courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your growth.
About the Team
Supabase was born-remote and open-source-first. We believe our globally distributed team is our secret weapon in building tools developers love.
~400 team members
60+ countries
20+ languages spoken
Over $1B raised (including our $500M Series F)
540,000+ community members
We move fast, build in public, and use what we ship. If it’s in your project, we probably use it in ours too. We believe deeply in the open-source ecosystem and strive to support—not replace—existing tools and communities.

Sample interview questions
I begin with a close checklist and timeline, validate source data, prepare journal entries and supporting workpapers, and complete reconciliations. I investigate material variances promptly, document conclusions clearly, and communicate risks or dependencies early so the close remains accurate and on schedule.
I would compare the balance against prior periods, budget or forecast data, and relevant operational drivers. I would then review transaction-level detail, reconcile supporting systems, speak with process owners where needed, and document the root cause, accounting conclusion, and any corrective action.
I maintain organized, audit-ready workpapers with clear support, reconciliations, and review evidence. I respond to requests promptly, clarify questions early, track open items, and ensure that explanations are concise, technically sound, and consistent with the underlying records.
I first map the existing workflow and identify recurring manual steps, control gaps, or sources of rework. I prioritize improvements that increase reliability and reduce cycle time, align stakeholders on the change, test the revised process, and document the new procedure for repeatable execution.
I use clear written updates, define owners and deadlines, and keep supporting documentation accessible. I raise blockers early, summarize decisions and next steps after discussions, and structure my work so stakeholders can review progress without requiring constant meetings.
