About Frontline Wildfire Defense
Founded in 2017 by landscape ecologist and fire mitigation expert Harry Statter, Frontline developed the first fully integrated wildfire defense system to stop the leading cause of home loss in wildfires: ember-driven ignition. The system combines exterior sprinklers, full-coverage design, and connected software for remote monitoring and response, allowing homes to protect themselves long after families evacuate or infrastructure fails.
Proven effective during the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, 96% of homes with Frontline systems survived. That success has earned top industry recognition, including Frontline being recognized as one of TIME’s Best Inventions 2025 in the Green Tech category and receiving the PCBC Gold Nugget Award for “Most Innovative Housing Concept” and the Best of IBS Award for “Best Home Technology.”
As wildfires grow hotter and more frequent, our vision is to give people the tools and strategies to live safely with fire. We’re building a mission-driven team creating real-world solutions in wildfire safety and climate tech.
About This Opportunity
As a Senior Accountant at Frontline, you will be the person who keeps the general ledger in order - not as a task-completer, but as someone who cares about the integrity of what the numbers say. Frontline runs three revenue models simultaneously: milestone-based construction installations, bill-and-hold hardware product sales, and recurring software subscriptions. Underneath that, we have multi-entity operations, complex balance sheet activity, and a business that's scaling fast. The work is detailed, intellectually demanding, and consequential.
Reporting to the Controller, you will own bank and credit card reconciliations, balance sheet reconciliations, intercompany reconciliations, and the day-to-day accuracy of our general ledger. This is a role for someone who is not just comfortable with that level of precision - but who finds genuine satisfaction in it. If you like to solve puzzles, enjoy the feeling of every account tying out cleanly, and take pride in a ledger that's airtight, this is your seat.
Key Responsibilities
General Ledger & Reconciliations
Own bank and credit card reconciliations across all company accounts, ensuring every transaction is accurately recorded, categorized, and resolved in a timely manner.
Prepare and review monthly balance sheet reconciliations - accounts payable, accounts receivable, accruals, prepaids, intercompany, and other balance sheet accounts - with full supporting documentation.
Maintain the general ledger with a high degree of accuracy, posting journal entries and ensuring the ledger reflects the true financial position of the company at all times.
Investigate and resolve reconciling items promptly; track open items and follow through to resolution rather than leaving discrepancies unaddressed.
Month-End Close
Execute assigned close tasks within the month-end close schedule, including journal entries, account tie-outs, and flux analysis on key balance sheet and P&L accounts.
Prepare clear, organized work papers and reconciliation packages that can withstand audit scrutiny.
Partner with the Controller to identify opportunities to tighten the close timeline without sacrificing accuracy.
Accounts Payable & Receivable Support
Support AP and AR functions as needed, including vendor coding, payment processing, customer invoicing, and collections activity.
Ensure transactions are coded to the correct entity, department, and account, particularly as the company expands across multiple states and operating entities.
Compliance & Audit Readiness
Maintain documentation and internal controls that support audit readiness at all times.
Support external auditors and tax advisors by preparing schedules, reconciliations, and requested documentation.
Assist with multi-state sales and use tax compliance and payroll tax filings in coordination with the Controller.
Process Improvement
Identify inefficiencies in reconciliation and close workflows and propose improvements that increase accuracy and reduce manual effort.
Support the evaluation and adoption of accounting tools and automation that streamline transactional accounting functions.

Deep familiarity with the general ledger: how it works, how entries flow, and how to identify and resolve errors

Excellent written and verbal communication skills
