Accounting Associate

Santa Monica, California, United States

Company Overview

At Veo, we are on a mission to end car dependency by making clean transportation accessible to all and advancing the next generation of fully electric micromobility systems. Our fleets are constantly evolving and feature a range of vehicles - from pedal and electric bicycles, to standing and seated e-scooters, e-cargo bikes, and ADA accessible devices. We design and build our own vehicles, hardware, and software systems in house and run all our local operations to provide safe, efficient, and responsive mobility services that make communities more sustainable and livable.  We are looking for exceptionally talented individuals who are ready to develop and implement new solutions to these exciting challenges. 

 

Role Overview:

Veo is hiring an experienced Associate Accountant (2–3+ years of relevant experience) to support our fast-growing micromobility operations within the Finance Team. This is not a clerical role — it is a hands-on, high-ownership position for someone who wants exposure across accounting, finance, compliance, and operational support in a lean, performance-driven startup environment.  This is a unique opportunity to play an important role in scaling the company during its rapid growth. You will own core accounting service functions (AP, AR, expense management) while supporting monthly close, financial reporting, compliance, vendor procurement administration, and business operations processes. You will work cross-functionally with Operations, HR, Legal, and external partners to ensure financial accuracy, internal controls, and regulatory compliance. This role will report to the Senior Accounting Manager, with additional supervision by the Finance Manager and Sr. Accountant. 

If you are looking to grow your finance & accounting career and are excited to partner with a lean and efficient team at a rapidly growing start-up, keep reading! 

Responsibilities: 

  • Own the full Accounts Payable lifecycle: invoice intake, coding, routing, approval workflows, vendor onboarding, and payment execution
  • Maintain vendor files and ensure compliance with W-9, 1099, and documentation requirements
  • Manage Accounts Receivable operations, including invoice generation, customer communication, collections follow-up, and aging analysis
  • Administer corporate credit card programs (Brex/Ramp), including card issuance, employee training, policy enforcement, receipt audits, and reconciliation
  • Process employee reimbursements in coordination with HR
  • Post journal entries and assist with accruals and prepaids
  • Perform monthly balance sheet reconciliations with clear supporting documentation
  • Assist in improving internal controls and accounting process rigor

Qualifications:

  • 2–3+ years of accounting experience; Experience working in startups; know how to operate effectively with lean resources, changing priorities, and ambiguity
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
  • Strong working knowledge of US GAAP fundamentals
  • Experience supporting month-end close processes
  • Proficiency in Excel / Google Sheets (pivot tables, lookups, basic modeling)
  • Experience working in ERP/accounting systems
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment
  • High attention to detail and documentation discipline
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills

What you Have:

  • Fast learner who picks up new systems and processes quickly
  • Strong sense of ownership — does not wait to be told what to do
  • Comfortable operating with limited structure and evolving priorities
  • Grit, work ethic, and willingness to roll up your sleeves
  • Analytical mindset — understands the “why” behind the numbers
  • Professional maturity in handling vendor and internal stakeholder relationships
  • Ability to balance accounting precision with operational speed

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with QBO, NetSuite, Stampli, Brex, Ramp, Cube, Jirav, Fathom and other similar systems
  • Exposure to multi-entity or multi-state operations
  • Experience supporting audit or tax filings
  • Experience in mobility, transportation, or asset-heavy industries
  • Interest in growing into senior accounting or finance roles

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Competitive Compensation Package that consists of a base salary range of $75,000 - $90,000 + Annual Performance Bonus + Equity (Stock Options) + Full Range of Benefits. 
    • Veo is a total compensation company, and pay is determined by geographic cost of labor and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training - so not all candidates will be eligible for the upper end of the salary range. 
    • Our total compensation package for this role, including bonus potential, ranges from $75,000 - $95,000
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Competitive Benefits Package (Medical, Dental, Vision, Short Term Disability and more!) 
  • 401k with 3% match 
  • Opportunity to work in a fast-paced technology company

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
