Polychrome is a holding company that acquires, grows, and holds a portfolio of B2B software companies. Since launching in 2020, we have added three companies to our portfolio (Flagsmith, Browserless and Checkbox) and plan to add one to two a year for the foreseeable future. This is a ground floor opportunity as the first accountant, and the first of a set of specialized skill positions that Polychrome plans to provide to its portfolio companies as a centralized service.

The Staff Accountant will report directly to one of our co-founders of Polychrome. They will assist in the accounting for each portfolio company, as well as for Polychrome itself. This will encompass a wide range of accounting responsibilities and is suited for a high-performer with a focus on detail and ability to get things done cleanly, on time, and reliably. This role offers opportunity for growth as the portfolio expands and as each company within the portfolio grows.
