Accounting & Finance Contractor (Part-Time)

ABOUT MAZE

Maze is the user research platform that helps companies build the right products faster by making user insights available at the speed of product development.

In most companies, research demand far exceeds supply. Time, cost, and lack of access to expertise hold teams back. In today’s AI-powered world, anyone can build a product fast. The real challenge? Deeply understanding user needs and building the right product. That’s where Maze comes in.

We believe companies shouldn’t have to choose between building fast and building right. Maze makes research accessible, intuitive, and fast so product teams can put user insights at the center of every decision.

Our platform enables researchers, designers, and product managers to quickly recruit participants, run studies autonomously, and surface insights that actually drive product decisions. Our AI capabilities automate the busywork and add depth and direction to the insights themselves.

That’s why Maze was recently named the #1 user research platform in UX Tools’ Design Tools Survey https://www.uxtools.co/survey/user-research/user-testing-overview—and why we’re scaling fast across industries like B2B SaaS, e-Commerce, Financial Services, Retail, and Automotive, supporting world class customers such as Uber, Amazon, Atlassian, Anthropic & more.

Maze is a Series B company backed by top-tier investors (Felicis, Emergence & Amplify). We operate a global remote workforce driven by our core values https://maze.co/about-us/.

Please note that this role is open exclusively to candidates based in the United States or Canada in the Eastern or Central Timezones. Due to the nature of our work and collaboration requirements, applications from other locations will not be considered. We appreciate your understanding and interest!

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a detail-oriented, adaptable Accounting Contractor to support a range of finance and accounting functions on a part-time basis. This is a hands-on role for someone who brings broad accounting knowledge, moves comfortably across work-streams, and wants to be a genuine contributor to a fast-moving team.

In this role, you will

• Help with accounts receivable and collections, including dunning process management
• Support accounts payable and credit card reconciliation
• Support month end including FP&A work (reporting and financial analysis)
• Run month-end commissions processing with accuracy and on short time-table
• Support audit preparation and execution
• Step into ad hoc tasks/projects as they arise, this role requires flexibility and a willingness to lean in where needed

We are looking for someone who demonstrates

• Broad Accounting Knowledge: 4-6 years of hands-on experience across AR, AP, commissions, and FP&A
• Technical Familiarity: Experience with Xero, Rillet, or similar accounting platforms
• Adaptability: Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift and new projects surface regularly
• Collaborative Spirit: A team-player mindset and strong communication skills across functions
• Ownership: A track record of managing workstreams independently and delivering reliably

INCLUSIVITY AND PAY

At Maze, we are dedicated to building an equitable, inclusive, and authentic workspace. Unique and diverse perspectives are welcomed, and continuous growth is encouraged. We believe that people are more than their resumes, so if your past experience looks different than the criteria listed, we'd still love to hear from you. We appreciate and celebrate non-traditional life routes and encourage you to apply should you connect with a job description or the Maze culture.

Maze values transparency and it enables us to approach compensation equitably across the world. We are informed by data and regularly check our salary ranges (either United States or Rest of World) against other venture backed companies. Additionally, we are proud of our holistic and generous benefits offerings, included in every compensation package.

Your salary is dependent upon many factors, including years of experience, expertise, etc. During your first interview, you can expect to have an open conversation with your recruiter regarding your compensation expectations.

WHY MAZE IS UNIQUE

• Early-stage startup: You will join an early-stage startup with less than 150 team members. This means you'll have the unique opportunity to directly impact success and help shape the future of Maze.
• Market disruption: We believe that the way companies build products is fundamentally broken and the user research market is ripe for disruption. For too long, companies have been forced to choose between rapid development without user insights or investing months into research before bringing products to market. But there's finally a groundswell building around a path forward that eliminates this compromise - and Maze is leading the charge.
• Product-market Fit: Maze is used by 100,000+ brands across 4,000 companies, from SMB to enterprises, and in the last fiscal year, we saw 6.5M questions answered, supporting 25K decisions
