What is Kalshi?



Kalshi has defined a new category: prediction markets. Kalshi allows people to trade on the outcome of any events and turn any question about the future into a financial asset. Kalshi fought for years and legalized prediction markets in the US for the first time in history, is currently the fastest growing financial market in America, and has thousands of markets across politics, economics, financials, weather, tech, AI, culture and more.



We believe prediction markets have the potential to be the largest financial market because they turn anything into a financial position.

• Our vision: well... build the largest financial market on the planet.


• Our mission: bring more truth to the world through the power of markets.

Our culture is simple: we hire really talented people, work really hard, and enjoy the climb. We are looking for ambitious and exceptional people to join our (relatively small) team to help us build the next generation of financial markets.

Kalshi is looking for a Senior Accountant to join our growing Finance team. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who wants to own meaningful parts of the accounting close, improve processes, and help build the financial infrastructure of a rapidly scaling company.



You'll work across the business to ensure transactions are recorded accurately, accounts are reconciled, and our financials are complete and audit-ready.

• Support preparation of monthly financial statements and management reporting


• Partner with teams across the company to understand new products, transactions, and accounting implications


• Support external audits and ensure schedules and supporting documentation are audit-ready


• Help develop and maintain accounting policies, processes, and internal controls


• Identify opportunities to automate and streamline accounting workflows


• Support technical accounting analysis for new or unusual transactions as needed


• Help build the accounting infrastructure required as Kalshi continues to scale

What You Bring

• 4+ years of accounting experience, ideally with a combination of public accounting and operating-company experience


• Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP and core accounting principles


• Experience owning significant components of the monthly close


• Strong experience with journal entries, account reconciliations, and financial statement preparation


• Ability to independently investigate accounting issues and drive them to resolution


• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to operate in a fast-moving environment


• Comfortable working cross-functionally and translating business activity into accurate accounting treatment


• Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills


• CPA preferred


• Experience at a high-growth technology, fintech, financial services, or other complex business is a plus


• Experience supporting audits, implementing controls, or preparing a company for increased reporting requirements is a plus
