Steno is growing! We’re looking for an experienced and detail-oriented Accounts Payable Specialist to join our winning team!

In this role, you’ll help manage our financial relationships with contractors and vendors, ensuring productive communication and promoting efficient billing practices. 

WHO ARE YOU?

We’re looking for an Accounts Payable Specialist who is highly organized and thrives in a busy, fast-paced environment. We know you’ve heard this before, but we mean it! We hope you’re excited by the highly-variable nature of a growing startup, knowing that the best-practices you help develop and enact will allow us to continue to grow at our current pace and beyond.

As an integral part of our Finance team, you’ll work closely with all of our vendors and contractors, becoming familiar with each of their billing structures and ensuring timely delivery of payment. If you’re a whiz with Excel and have spent a lot of time in QuickBooks and Zoho (or other expense management software), you’ll feel at ease diving into our current systems and helping to facilitate reconciliation between credit card transitions, our expense dashboards in Zoho, QuickBooks, and bill.com. 

Operating with a hospitality mindset, often under pressure, is critical to ensuring our internal and external clients are able to operate at full capacity. You’ll be interfacing directly with Steno’s contractors and vendors–important members of our larger community–while also working cooperatively on your small team, so it’s essential that you’re cool and collected while coordinating many moving parts. 

ON A REGULAR BASIS YOU’LL: 

• Oversee the entire procurement cycle in the accounting function.

• Review and approve expense reports for employees and contractors (review, verify receipts, ensure correct coding, etc.).

• Process reconciliations between AmEx and Zoho, Zoho and QuickBooks, AmEx and Quickbooks, and bill.com and QuickBooks (aka you should be very familiar with account reconciliation and expense reporting).

• Review billing information for vendors and contractors to ensure accuracy in bill.com and QuickBooks. 

• Work with employees and contractors to help them create accounts in Zoho, making sure their banking info is linked for reimbursement.

• Ensure all vendors have 1099s or W-9s by the start of the next fiscal year.

OUR TEAM 

Our Finance team is a small-but-hard-working group, focused on optimizing Steno’s financial processes and maximizing performance. We work and support many other teams across the organization. Our team is humble, communicative, and motivated–we strive to cultivate an environment where all team members are empowered to innovate and lead initiatives.

YOU’RE GONNA CRUSH IT IF:

• You have a minimum of three years previous experience in an Accounts Payable role

• You’ve worked in a client-facing role and enjoy interacting directly with contractors and vendors

• You thrive while operating independently and dealing with ambiguity. Don’t worry–we won’t leave you hanging 

• You have direct experience using QuickBooks and Bill.com in a professional setting

• You are very comfortable with digital productivity tools like Google Workspace, Slack, and Zoom. We’re a fully remote team and rely heavily on these applications to help us communicate smoothly and efficiently! 

• You’re a critical thinker; someone who is creative and can come up with new and innovative solutions to day-to-day challenges

• You have the ability to work though highly-detailed processes at an efficient pace while staying organized

• You have the desire to work with a fast-paced and quickly growing tech start-up and you are enthusiastic about the opportunity for growth within the company; knowledge of the court reporting industry is a huge plus!

WHY STENO, WHY NOW? 

Steno is revolutionizing the court reporting industry every single day. We’re a diverse team from all over the country (and beyond), crazy about redefining the boundaries of an outdated industry. We’re so excited about where we’re headed and want to invite you along for what’s next (something about wearing shades because Steno’s future's so...bright? Forgive us…we don’t get out much).

Our employees (@futureyou?) are essential to our success and we treat them that way. We offer health benefits,  stock options, a 401k, flexible vacation, and several other unique perks to show our team how valued they are. We’re also 100% remote, so bring on the stretchy pants and slippers (with a collared shirt thrown in every now and again)--we don’t judge. We’re all just here to do our best work, everyday, together. 

If you’re looking for a company that offers support, guidance, an abundance of killer giphys, and unlimited potential to grow into your best self, you can bet we’d love to have you too.

ABOUT STENO

Steno was founded in Los Angeles in 2018. We are a quickly growing legal technology startup with a very simple core purpose - “to improve the litigation process.” Our team is highly reliable, constantly innovative, and operates with a hospitality mindset in every single way. Seriously. While this is a fast-paced environment, the opportunity for growth is abundant. 

In the last two years, Steno has grown from just 9 employees in Los Angeles to over 125 employees across the nation and works fully remote. Our team is incredibly diverse and a unique blend of backgrounds in law, technology, operations, and finance. Though not many of us have met in person, we are a cohesive team that has produced amazing results in just a short time (if we do say so ourselves). 

Steno developed a new style of deferred litigation financing called DelayPay and Steno Connect, a web-based videoconferencing platform specifically designed for remote depositions and bench trials. And, to top it off, we are growing as a prominent court reporting agency in several major US markets.  

Steno just closed a Series A1 round of funding led by Trust Ventures. With seed investments from First Round Capital, Human Ventures, and others, we’ve raised $23 million in total. This capital not only helps us invest in our business and product but also our people. We know that without our people, we’d have nothing. 

Our Founders understand the importance of making sure everyone feels like they belong at Steno, so they can grow personally and professionally while helping us drive towards our big, audacious goals. 

“Steno is committed to building and fostering an undeniably diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment for our employees, our partners, and our clients (our community). Operating with a hospitality mindset means being warm and welcoming to everyone in our community, regardless of their visible or invisible identities. At Steno, we rely on our employees and partners with unique and diverse experiences to help us constantly develop innovative ideas and to deliver our highly reliable products and services to our clients.” - Greg, Dan, and Dylan
