Private markets are the new public markets. The most important companies of this era are private, and almost no one can own them. What's missing is the financial system public markets spent a century building: exchanges, custodians, brokers, and ways for ordinary people to buy in. Private markets, now $28T, never had the equivalent. AngelList is building it.
The last decade of structural innovation in venture happened here: syndicates, SPVs at scale, Rolling Funds, scout programs. Today we have $200B+ in assets and 30,000+ startups funded on our platform. The rest of private markets is next.
What you'd do
- Own AP, code invoices with judgment. Classify expenses correctly, capitalize fixed assets, amortize prepaids, and apply accrual thresholds across every entity. Drive the annual 1099 process.
- Run procurement end to end. Manage purchase orders, vendor onboarding, and ongoing process improvements.
- Automate for scale. Improve how Ramp and NetSuite work together and use automation to reduce manual coding, matching, and reconciliation without weakening controls.
- Support month-end close. Own AP-related intercompany activity, consolidation-related AP tasks, and audit-ready schedules and documentation.
What they want
- 3+ years of accounting experience with meaningful ownership of accounts payable at volume. You’ve done more than just route invoices - you’ve made and defended the accounting decisions behind them without a manager in the room.
- Debits and credits are instinct, not a lookup, and you’re comfortable making calls involving expense classification, prepaids, accruals, and fixed assets.
- Hands-on NetSuite and Ramp (or a comparable platform) experience, ideally in a multi-subsidiary environment.
- A track record of improving the process you inherit. You’ve used automation to eliminate manual work and can explain what you changed and what improved.
- You can walk a controller through a coding call and a non-finance teammate through a rejected expense in the same day.
- High attention to detail and low tolerance for unintentional risk. You catch what’s off before it becomes a close problem.
