About Volta
Volta is the category-defining, fully vertically integrated AI infrastructure platform – from capital to clusters to software, under a founder-led enterprise. Our mission is The Utility of Compute™: AI infrastructure as dependable and available as electricity, for every organization that needs it. Launched with a $10B strategic partnership with one of the leading frontier AI labs, a Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, and a $5B AI Infrastructure Fund, Volta is building the infrastructure layer of the AI era from the ground up. We are 100+ people across London, Palo Alto, and New York, with rapid growth expectations to hundreds.
About the Role
This is not a traditional accounting role focused on maintaining legacy systems.
At Volta, you will help build the finance function from first principles, contributing to the design of processes, controls, and reporting in a business deploying capital at global scale.
Working closely with the Senior Financial Accountant and the wider Financial Accounting and Transactional Function, you will play a key role in delivering accurate financial reporting while supporting the build-out of a scalable, best-in-class accounting environment across multiple jurisdictions.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the execution of the monthly financial close
- Prepare and post accrual, prepayment, payroll, capex, revenue, and FX entries, among others
- Prepare balance sheet reconciliations for review
- Cash, AR, AP, fixed assets, other payables and receivables, equity
- Support transactional processing
- Approvals, audit trail, and clean ledgers
- Intercompany accounting and cross charges
- Support internal financial reporting
- Assist in monthly reporting packages
- Support the analysis of variance to budget and prior periods
- Analyze financial data to identify trends, variances, and risks
- Assist management with ad hoc reporting and partner with FP&A and other teams to ensure accurate and timely financial reporting
- Assist in building and documenting financial controls, accounting policies, and governance frameworks
- Track capital spend and asset capitalization
- Maintain fixed asset register
- Support external reporting
- Prepare U.S. GAAP (and IFRS where applicable) external financial statements
- Support external audits and act as a key point of contact for auditors
- Prepare support for auditors
- Contribute to the implementation and optimization of ERP/accounting systems
- Assist with tax compliance, indirect tax (e.g., VAT/sales tax) returns, and regulatory filings across jurisdictions
- Maintain and enhance the general ledger and chart of accounts

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Requirements
- CPA (or equivalent)

- Experience with month-end close and financial reporting
- High attention to detail and strong analytical skills
- Ability to operate in a fast-paced, high-growth, capital-intensive environment
- Strong Excel skills; ERP experience is a plus
Nice to Have
- Experience in infrastructure, energy, or data center environments
- Exposure to multi-entity, international accounting environments
- Experience in a startup or scale-up environment
What Makes This Role Different
- Build, not maintain: Help create processes and controls from scratch
- Operate at scale: Work in an environment where decisions impact significant capital deployment
- High ownership: Direct exposure to senior leadership
- Low bureaucracy: Fast decision-making and clear accountability
