As Anthropic continues to scale rapidly and deploy capital into acquisitions, minority investments, joint ventures, and novel commercial structures, you will be the decisive voice on structuring alternatives, consolidation outcomes, and financial statement impact. You will partner directly with Corporate Development, Legal, Tax, Treasury, FP&A, and executive leadership to ensure that deal economics are accurately reflected under US GAAP and that positions are defensible to external auditors, valuation specialists, and future regulators.

This is a builder-leader role: you will establish the M&A and investments accounting function largely from the ground up, recruit and develop a high-performing team, and stand up the controls, valuation governance, and close-ready documentation expected of a large accelerated filer.

Responsibilities:

• Serve as the company's principal technical accounting authority for business combinations, asset acquisitions, strategic equity investments, joint ventures, divestitures, and related financing and equity structures

• Direct the consolidation assessment for every investee and structured arrangement, including VIE identification, primary-beneficiary analysis, and ongoing reconsideration events

• Manage third-party valuation specialists; review and challenge purchase price allocations, intangible asset valuations, contingent consideration fair values, and impairment analyses
• Author and defend technical accounting memoranda for each transaction; serve as the primary point of contact with external auditors on M&A, investment, and consolidation matters
• Build and lead the M&A and Investments Accounting team , define roles, hire, mentor, and set the operating cadence , while remaining a hands-on reviewer on the most judgmental areas
• Design and implement the deal-accounting operating model: diligence checklists, Day-1 close playbooks, opening balance sheet procedures, measurement-period tracking, integration accounting workplans, and SOX-ready controls over non-routine transactions
• Drive post-close integration accounting, including conforming accounting policies, system/ledger onboarding, working capital true-ups, earn-out remeasurement, and push-down considerations
• Prepare and review transaction-related disclosures for quarterly and annual financial statements, including pro forma financial information and significance testing where applicable
• Partner with Tax on deal structuring, inside/outside basis differences, and ASC 740 impacts of acquisitions and investments; partner with Treasury and Legal on equity, SAFE/convertible, and complex financing instruments embedded in deals
• Present transaction accounting conclusions and financial statement impacts to the Controller, CFO, and Audit Committee in clear, decision-ready terms
• Monitor standard-setting and SEC developments affecting business combinations, consolidation, and investments; lead adoption and cross-functional education

You may be a good fit if you:

• Hold an active CPA license
• Bring significant Big 4 experience , ideally including time in a National Office, Transaction/Deal Advisory, or Capital Markets/Accounting Advisory group , paired with in-house experience at a high-growth or public technology company

• Possess deep command of US GAAP for business combinations, consolidation, equity method and other investments, fair value measurement, and related areas, with a track record of authoring positions that withstand auditor and regulator scrutiny
• Are fluent in valuation concepts and can credibly direct and challenge third-party specialists on PPA, contingent consideration, and impairment models
• Have built or materially scaled a deal-accounting or investments-accounting function, including hiring, playbook creation, and controls design
• Operate with executive presence , able to influence Corporate Development, Legal, and the C-suite on structuring trade-offs, and to present to the Audit Committee
• Demonstrate exceptional written and verbal communication, translating complex deal accounting into clear business implications for non-accountants
• Excel at both strategic leadership and hands-on technical review, and move comfortably between the two in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
• Are proficient with accounting systems (NetSuite preferred), consolidation tools, and advanced Excel/modeling
