Staff Accountant

What is Kalshi?

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, is currently the fastest growing financial market in America, and has thousands of 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.

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.

Role Roadmap

As a Staff Accountant, you will play a central role in maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the company’s financial reporting and daily accounting operations. This role sits close to the core of the finance function and will be deeply involved in the month-end close, reconciliations, and preparation of financial statements and investor reporting. The ideal candidate comes from a public accounting background where they worked across multiple audit clients and gained exposure to various aspects of the audit process, rather than being narrowly focused on a single engagement. Over time, you will help improve accounting processes, introduce automation where possible, and contribute to building scalable financial infrastructure as the company grows.

What You'll Do

• Support and execute key components of the month-end and quarter-end close process

• Perform daily and monthly bank reconciliations, including operating accounts and other cash positions

• Reconcile Payment Service Provider (PSP) balances and investigate discrepancies

• Prepare and review cash reconciliations and related journal entries

• Review revenue and expense activity to ensure accuracy and completeness

• Record manual journal entries and help identify opportunities for process automation

• Assist with the preparation of financial statements

• Support the creation of investor reporting and other financial reporting deliverables

• Manage and track investor confirmations and periodic investor reporting

• Partner with finance and operations teams to improve accounting workflows and controls

• Maintain documentation and supporting schedules for reconciliations and reporting

What You Bring

• 2–4 years of accounting experience, ideally within public accounting

• Experience working on multiple audit clients or engagements, with exposure to several areas of the audit process (e.g., reconciliations, financial statement preparation, testing)

• Strong understanding of account reconciliations and financial statement components

• Experience participating in month-end close processes

• Familiarity with bank reconciliations and cash accounting

• Experience preparing or assisting with financial statements

• Strong attention to detail and ability to investigate discrepancies

• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with evolving processes
