About the Team

The DoorDash Lease Accounting team ensures DoorDash’s lease portfolio is reported accurately and on time under ASC 842.

• Proactively identify and lead process improvements and automation initiatives to reduce manual work and improve the accuracy and efficiency of processes.
• Maintain lease SOX controls and support both internal and external audit requests.

We’re excited about you because…

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, or a related field, and/or equivalent work experience.
• 6+ years accounting experience, including in-depth experience applying US GAAP lease accounting (ASC 842), which is essential to this role.
• Proven experience reviewing lease agreements, interpreting lease terms, and assessing their financial implications to determine the appropriate accounting treatment.
• Ownership mindset and proactiveness, with a track record of managing multiple deliverables and following them through to completion on close timelines.
