About the Accounting Team

Mixpanel's Accounting team owns the month-end close, financial reporting, and technical accounting across our global operations. A small, high-impact function, the team manages end-to-end close governance, audit readiness, and compliance across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. We take pride in delivering accurate, timely financials that our business partners can trust—and we're building the processes and systems to scale with the company.

About the Role

The Senior Technical Accountant will own Mixpanel's most technically complex accounting workstreams, including revenue recognition, equity accounting, and consolidated financial reporting. This is a dedicated role for a technically strong accountant who can operate independently, advise cross-functional partners on accounting implications, and ensure our highest-risk close areas are covered with rigor and accuracy.

As the company grows, this role will evolve into a broader technical accounting function, with the expectation that this person will help shape that buildout.

• Prepare group financial statements, including consolidation and entity-level reporting required for lender compliance.
• Draft, maintain, and evolve the ASC 606 revenue recognition policy memo and related revenue playbook, keeping both current with business and product changes.
• Advise cross-functional partners—Finance, Legal, Sales Operations, and Product—on accounting implications of business decisions, contract structures, and new go-to-market offerings.
• Serve as the primary preparer and day-to-day liaison with external auditors for r
