Staff Accountant

Fast-growing measurement company looking for a hands-on finance professional to support the day-to-day accounting operations of the business. This role offers the opportunity to work across multiple areas of the finance function while helping build scalable processes for a growing business.

Adelaide is the leader in one of the fastest-growing areas of advertising: attention measurement and activation.

Since 2020, we've become the trusted media quality measurement partner for 40% of Fortune 50 brands who rely on our award-winning AU metric to plan smarter campaigns, invest in high-quality inventory, and dive stronger business outcomes. Adweek has called Adelaide's AU "the attention economy's most widely recognized metric," and AdExchanger named it "Best measurement/Analytics Capability."

Our business continues to scale rapidly, outperforming the industry with a 35% three-year CAGR. What began as a 9-person startup in 2019 is now a team of more than 75.

The past year brought meaningful expansion. We launched the AU ecosystem, giving brands, media agencies, and publishers a unified way to leverage and transact on AU. We broadened our programmatic footprint with custom bidding in GoogleDV360 and pre-bid targeting in The Trade Desk, and grew our partner roster to over 125 platforms and publishers. Leading brands like Dell, Diageo, an Jaguar Land Rover—along with premium publishers such as Hearst, Spotify, and The New York Times—continue to demonstrate AU's value across the media lifecycle.

Adelaide is backed by prominent investors such as Human Ventures (Joe Marchese), Aperiam Ventures (Joe Zawadzki & Eric Franchi), WGI (Jonah Goodhart), and Irwin Gotlieb.

We have a NYC office and a London WeWork, but operates as a remote-friendly company with flexible work options.

We're a team of action-oriented doers—management rolls up their sleeves and contributes every day. Our culture is rooted in curiosity and rigor: opinions are held lightly, debated openly, and strengthened through testing. Everyone is encouraged to play a role in shaping planning and strategy.

We're built on belonging and growth—94% of employees report a strong sense of belonging, and 81% say they’re happy at work.

This position reports to the Accounting Operations Manager and is responsible for billing and invoicing, accounts receivable, accounts payable, revenue reconciliation, and month-end close support.

While this role sits within the Finance team, its impact extends across the business. Accurate billing, collections, and financial records help ensure Adelaide operates efficiently and maintains accurate visibility into the health of the business.

In this role, you'll help ensure invoices are issued accurately and on time, payments are collected efficiently, vendors are paid promptly, and financial records remain organized and reliable. As Adelaide continues to grow, this role will help ensure our financial operations remain scalable, accurate, and dependable.
