Not your everyday company



Lemonade completely reinvented how insurance works. As a customer-centric tech company, we created an insurance experience that is smart, instant, and delightful.



At Lemonade, you'll be working with a group of like-minded makers, who get a kick out of moving fast and delivering great products. We surround ourselves with some of the smartest, most motivated, creative people who are filled with positive energy and good karma.



Unlike most publicly traded companies, we're nimble and efficient. We take pride in the fact that we still think and operate like a startup. We don't care much about titles and hierarchy and instead focus on innovation, bold moves, and challenging the status quo.



We're built as a lean, data-driven organization that relies on a common understanding of objectives and goals to provide teams with autonomy and ownership. We don't like spending our days in meetings and we skip committees altogether. At Lemonade, there's no such thing as going over someone's head. We have zero tolerance for bureaucracy, office politics, and lean-back personalities.



As a Public Benefit Corporation and a certified B-Corp, we deliver environmental and social impact using our products and tech. Through our Giveback program, we partner with organizations such as the ACLU, New Story, The Humane Society, Malala Fund, American Red Cross, 360.org, charity: water, and dozens of others, and have donated millions towards reforestation, education, animal rights, LGBTQ+ causes, access to water, and more.

What you're applying for



We're looking for an Accounting Manager to take ownership of Lemonade's parent company accounting operations and help drive greater efficiency, accuracy, and transparency across our financial ecosystem. You'll sit within our Finance team, leading the month-end close process, managing a broad range of financial schedules, and acting as a key partner to our Controller and Director of Technical Accounting on SEC reporting and audit deliverables. This is a high-ownership role that touches nearly every corner of the business - from intercompany transactions to share-based compensation to lease accounting.



We believe three things matter for every role at Lemonade: drive to push through challenges, efficiency that keeps standards high while moving fast, and adaptability that lets you pivot with data and AI insights. These aren't buzzwords, they're how we actually work.



Our AI-first approach isn't just a tagline either. We're building the future of insurance with AI at the center, and we need people who are genuinely excited to learn and grow alongside these tools.




In this role you'll

• Lead the month-end close process for Lemonade Inc., Agency, and Life Agency - including P&L analytics, vendor breakdown reviews, and detailed expense reviews across entities


• Manage all parent company accrual schedules, including contract and vendor accruals, professional and legal fee schedules, and underwriting expenses


• Own share-based compensation accounting in partnership with Fidelity - preparing entries for all subsidiaries, footnote disclosures, and recording of stock option exercises


• Oversee intercompany relationships, settlement of transactions, translation true-ups, and cost-plus relationship recording


• Manage ASC 842 lease schedules in Trullion, prepare monthly entries, and support lease disclosure preparation


• Lead the organization and delivery of year-end and quarterly audit procedures, and support annual SOX testing


• Support the Controller and Director of Technical Accounting in quarterly SEC financial reporting - including financial reporting packages, footnote and disclosure preparation, and audit review support


• Act as Finance-level AP approver for the vast majority of invoices, ensuring accuracy and appropriate tagging before escalation to cost center managers


• Run monthly allocations, prepare allocation review schedules, reperform occupancy calculations, and support monthly GAAP ULAE entries


• Partner cross-functionally with Business Development, Offline Media, Production, and Growth Development on financial operations including invoices, accruals, and processing

What you'll need

• 5+ years of experience in public or private accounting, with demonstrated ownership of complex, multi-entity close processes


• Strong command of U.S. GAAP, including working knowledge of ASC 842, share-based compensation, intercompany accounting, and SEC reporting requirements


• Advanced Excel and Google Sheets skills


• Experience with Workday ERP is a plus


• Comfortable operating across multiple entities and legal structures simultaneously


• Sharp attention to detail with the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines without dropping the ball


• A bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field


• Ability to work in our Soho, NYC office 3 days per week
