Summary:
We're building for the next 100 years and as part of this growth, we are actively building out our finance function in Ireland to support Clions in EMEA. We are currently seeking an Intermediate Accounts Payable Specialist to join our Finance team at our Dublin HQ. This role supports the EMEA region while working closely with Clio’s North American Finance Operations team to ensure accuracy, timeliness, and efficiency across all AP processes.We are distributed by design, and the successful candidate will have the ability to work in a hybrid environment with 2 anchor days in office and 3 work from home days per week.
What Your Team Does:
Our Finance team is hyper-focused on becoming one of the most high-performing teams in the world. That means we work hard, play for keeps, and dedicate ourselves to making sure #TeamMoney thrives as we scale.

Who You Are:
You're a critical thinker who is self-motivated, highly organised, and obsessed with continuous improvement. You've mastered self-management and take pride in delivering accurate, timely work — whether working independently or as part of a team. You bring strong month-end close discipline, with a solid grasp of accruals, cut-off management, and AP ageing. You don't wait to be asked — you proactively chase approvals, resolve exceptions, and keep things moving. Ambiguity doesn't slow you down; you thrive in the pace and change that comes with a scaling SaaS business.
You understand local statutory and compliance requirements across EMEA jurisdictions and know how to apply that knowledge in a fast-moving, multi-entity environment.
