Senior Accountant

About the team

The Financial Products & Services Accounting team sits within Zillow Group's Finance organization and owns the accounting for Zillow Home Loans (ZHL), Zillow's mortgage origination business. As a Senior Accountant on this team, you'll be part of a close-knit, fully remote group responsible for the integrity of ZHL's loan-level and warehouse-line financials — from daily funding activity through month-end close. This team plays a critical role in making sure the money behind every home loan is accounted for accurately and on time, and the Senior Accountant contributes directly to that success.

About the role

This is a high-ownership accounting role at the center of how Zillow funds and services home loans. You'll own recurring reconciliations, journal entries, and reporting that keep our mortgage business accurate, audit-ready, and compliant with our bank lending agreements — and you'll have real room to improve and automate the processes you run. If you like owning your work end to end and seeing the direct impact of clean, reliable numbers, this role is for you.

YOU WILL GET TO:

- Own daily reconciliations between loan origination activity and warehouse bank funding, researching and clearing exceptions so cash and loan balances always tie out

- Serve as the accounting liaison to ZHL's warehouse bank partners — reviewing daily funding and paydown reporting, validating new bank file formats, and coordinating user-acceptance testing when banking systems or reports change

- Drive your portion of the month-end close, completing tasks and sign-offs in FloQast and hitting deadlines with clean, well-supported workpapers

- Calculate and tie out monthly warehouse-line financial covenant compliance across our bank partners

- Build and maintain reconciliations and reporting that summarize daily flow of funds by bank

Who you are

- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (CPA or CPA candidate a plus)
