🚂 About Pulley
Pulley's mission is to make it easier for anyone to start a company. We believe that more startups should exist and that founder-led companies are more successful in the long term. With Pulley’s cap table management tools, companies can better understand and optimize their equity for the long term. Starting a company is hard enough. Managing equity shouldn’t be.
We’re a high-performing team looking for passionate, execution-focused, self-starters to help us build the next generation of equity and business management tools for founders in an AI-native world. Pulley is growing quickly with over 4,000 customers including startups like Linear, Runway, Fathom, and Roam.
Our trajectory is fueled by top investors like Founders’ Fund, Stripe, General Catalyst, Caffeinated Capital, 8vc, Elad Gil, among other great angels. All of our growth has been organic, and we’re growing the team to meet the demand.
🌟 About the role
We're looking for a Senior Financial Reporting Analyst with deep stock-based compensation (SBC) expertise to join Pulley's Professional Services team. This is a senior individual contributor role focused on owning SBC reporting and delivery for our clients.
All analysts join a shared pool and work across various service engagements—including onboarding, 409A valuations, and equity administration—which allows you to build well-rounded expertise. This role focuses on SBC reporting and equity administration: you'll primarily run SBC expense reports for both self-service clients (initial report setup and configuration) and full-service clients (comprehensive ASC 718 calculations and deliverables), and perform equity administration tasks for clients as needed. You'll also support other service engagements as needed and partner closely with Engineering to build and refine our SBC tooling, directly shaping how Pulley scales using technology.

- Perform initial SBC report setup for self-service clients and deliver audit-defensible full reports for full-service clients, including ASC 718 expense calculations and journal entries
- Handle complex SBC scenarios: modifications, cancellations, performance-based grants, market-based vesting conditions
- Partner with Engineering to improve SBC tooling—translate accounting requirements into product specs, test features, prioritize enhancements
- Serve as technical SBC expert for clients and internal teams, applying US GAAP accounting standards under ASC 718
- Offer flex support for other service type engagements including equity administration tasks and other service engagements (409A valuations, onboarding) as needed
- Build scalable SBC processes, documentation, and best practices
🙌 What you'll bring
Required:
- 2-3+ years hands-on experience with stock-based compensation expense calculations and reporting
- Proficiency with ASC 718 under US GAAP

- Ability to clearly communicate complex SBC concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences, including clients and engineering teams
- Proven ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously
- Experience performing SBC services in an audit or advisory capacity
Preferred:
- CPA, CEP, or CES credential
- Experience with equity administration
- IFRS knowledge for share-based payments
- Background at audit firms or financial reporting consulting
- Familiarity with equity admin platforms or cap table tools
- Experience collaborating with engineering/product teams
