The Elevator Pitch Evolv is looking for a Staff Accountant to support our day-to-day financial operations and contribute to the integrity and accuracy of our accounting records. This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their career-ideally with up to 3 years of experience in accounting, preferably including time at a Big 4 or public company-to join a high-growth organization and build a solid foundation in financial reporting and compliance. At Evolv, we use AI-powered security technology to help organizations create safer spaces for people to live, work, learn, and play. As a Staff Accountant, your sharp attention to detail, willingness to learn, and team-first mindset will directly support our financial reporting and compliance efforts-and contribute to a mission that matters.

Within 3 months, you will: Take ownership of month-end close tasks, including account reconciliations and journal entries. Ensure timely execution of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) controls and contribute to remediating any material weaknesses. Assist in researching technical accounting matters, such as new accounting standards and business transactions. Support the preparation and review of SEC filings, including Forms 10-Q/K, Proxy Statement, 8-K, and others. Contribute to ad hoc projects and deepen your understanding of team roles and responsibilities. By the end of the first year, you will: Demonstrate a strong grasp of Evolv's SOX control framework, with full remediation of material weaknesses in your area. Lead technical accounting research and clearly communicate findings across the business. Help accelerate close timelines and improve reporting accuracy. Provide guidance and mentorship to peers, sharing your technical knowledge and promoting a collaborative team culture. Confidently respond to auditor inquiries during quarterly reviews and the annual audit. Approach challenges with curiosity and a solution-oriented mindset-actively identifying opportunities to improve processes. The Work: What type of work will you be doing?

Technical Development: You'll take ownership of key financial areas, including Equity, Inventory, and SOX compliance. You'll also help identify tools and solutions to remediate any material weaknesses. Team Engagement: Work closely with cross-functional partners to streamline close processes and deliver timely, accurate reports. Strong communication is essential-we value teamwork above all. Innovation: This is not a "just follow the process" kind of role. We want your ideas. From optimizing reconciliations to refining reporting, your voice will help shape how we work.
