About Inkle :

Inkle is a US tax & accounting software startup based in San Francisco and Bangalore. We exclusively serve US technology startups. We're on a mission to make accounting, tax and compliance easy, scalable, affordable and on-demand for US-registered companies - using software and human services. We are a team of passionate and creative individuals who believe in the power of technology to simplify complex processes. Inkle launched in 2022, and already serves well over 500 US companies, and we're growing fast. We're backed by leading global VC funds.

About the team and this role :

Inkle powers bookkeeping and compliance for hundreds of the most innovative US startups. We're transforming how global companies manage their books — faster, more accurate, and fully investor-ready. As we scale, we're building out our client services team to ensure every founder and CFO we work with has spotless books, on time, every month.

You'll be working directly with US-based startup founders and finance leaders, ensuring their numbers are always reliable, audit-ready, and pitch-perfect.

Responsibilities :

• Bookkeeping & Reconciliation : Take complete ownership of monthly bookkeeping for US clients — categorizing transactions, reconciling bank / credit accounts, and ensuring GAAP compliance.
• Be client-facing : Communicate directly with US startup leaders to gather inputs, resolve queries, and deliver financial clarity.
• Financial Reporting : Prepare monthly financial statements (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) and provide clear commentary on variances.
• Compliance & Documentation : Maintain accurate books for tax and audit readiness.
• Process Ownership : Ensure all client books are closed on time every month — no delays, no exceptions.
• Proactive follow-ups : Keep clients accountable for providing documentation, receipts, and clarifications — no waiting to be asked.
