Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.
About The Role
Anthropic is seeking a Manager, Infrastructure Capex Accounting to join our Infrastructure Accounting team. In this role, you will execute day-to-day accounting for Anthropic's owned infrastructure assets — the GPUs, networking equipment, and data center buildouts underpinning our recently announced $50bn investment in American computing infrastructure. As we continue our rapid growth, you will help ensure the operational scalability and financial accuracy of the core functions that enable Anthropic's research and commercial success. This is an opportunity to be at the heart of one of the fastest-scaling companies in the industry, and to shape how Anthropic's growing fixed asset base is accounted for and understood across the business. You will own end-to-end accounting for Anthropic's capex and fixed asset portfolio, working closely with cross-functional partners across Data Center Operations, Finance, and Legal. You'll apply deep technical accounting expertise under ASC 360, and help build the processes, controls, and systems that let this function scale.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end accounting for Anthropic's AI infrastructure capex and fixed asset portfolio, including monthly close, construction-in-progress (CIP) tracking, reconciliations, roll-forwards, and flux analysis
- Apply technical accounting expertise to complex infrastructure arrangements under ASC 360 (capitalization, useful lives, impairment, disposals, and asset retirement obligations)
- Partner with Data Center Operations, Legal, and Finance teams during contract negotiation and execution to ensure accounting implications are understood before commitments are made
- Serve as a trusted finance partner to non-finance stakeholders — explaining the financial statement impact of their decisions in clear, simple terms they can act on
- Collaborate cross-functionally to improve the quality of upstream data pipelines from operational and contract systems, particularly around asset receipt, deployment, and in-service dates
- Help design and scale systems, processes, and controls to support a rapidly growing fixed asset portfolio
- Collaborate with and mentor junior accounting professionals across the Infrastructure Accounting team
- Serve as a key point of contact with external auditors on fixed asset and capex accounting matters
- Drive process improvements and automation, including leveraging AI tooling, to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of financial reporting
You may be a good fit if you
- Have 7+ years of progressive experience in accounting, with operational experience at technology or infrastructure-heavy companies
- Hold a Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA or equivalent preferred
- Possess strong technical accounting knowledge of ASC 360, particularly as applied to infrastructure, data center, or compute-related assets
- Have hands-on experience with a significant fixed asset portfolio in a high-growth environment
- Demonstrate strong analytical abilities and comfort working with large, complex datasets
- Have a track record of improving scalable financial processes in fast-moving environments
- Have experience mentoring junior accounting professionals
- Are adept at translating technical accounting concepts into financial implications for non-finance stakeholders
- Communicate clearly and influence effectively across cross-functional partners
- Have experience partnering with engineering, infrastructure, or operations teams to improve financial reporting and cost transparency
Strong candidates may have
- Experience at hyperscalers, large compute consumers, or data center operators with exposure to infrastructure asset structures (including GPU clusters, networking equipment, and data center buildouts)
- Experience with fixed asset subledger systems at scale
- SQL proficiency for querying and analyzing large infrastructure and accounting datasets
- Background in Big 4 accounting or advisory services combined with industry experience
- Experience with complex data center buildouts or hybrid cloud / on-premise environments
- Knowledge of AI/ML infrastructure and associated cost structures
- Experience applying AI tooling (including Claude) to accounting processes, memo drafting, or close automation
- Proven ability to navigate ambiguity and drive results in rapidly changing environments
Annual Salary
$160,000—$190,000 USD
Logistics
Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
Your safety matters to us.

How We're Different
We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills. The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
Come work with us!
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Accountant Jobs at Anthropic
Align your credentials to U.S. standards early
If your accounting degree is from outside the U.S., get a credential evaluation through a NACES-approved service before you apply. Anthropic's finance roles often require CPA eligibility, and unverified foreign credentials can stall an H-1B specialty occupation determination at USCIS.
Target Anthropic's finance team directly
Anthropic's accounting hires typically sit within its finance and operations function, not a generalist pool. Search for roles with titles like Senior Accountant, Technical Accounting Manager, or Revenue Accountant, where sponsorship has a clearer precedent than broader business support roles.
Understand which visa fits your nationality
Anthropic sponsors H-1B, H-1B1 visa, and E-3 visas for accounting roles. If you're Australian, the E-3 skips the lottery entirely. If you're from Singapore or Chile, the H-1B1 is an option. Knowing which category you fall under before your first interview lets you speak fluently about your own timeline.
Prepare for specialty occupation scrutiny in accounting
USCIS increasingly scrutinizes accounting roles under the specialty occupation standard, requiring proof that the position demands a degree in a specific field. Before your offer stage, confirm with Anthropic's HR that the job description clearly ties duties to technical accounting theory, not general business functions.
Use Migrate Mate to find Anthropic accountant openings
Anthropic's visa-sponsored accounting roles don't always surface on general job boards. Use Migrate Mate to filter for Accountant positions at Anthropic specifically, so you're applying to roles where sponsorship is already part of the hiring conversation.
Negotiate your start date around LCA timing
Before Anthropic can file your H-1B petition, the DOL must certify a Labor Condition Application, which typically takes seven business days but can run longer. Build that window into any start date discussion so your offer letter reflects a realistic timeline without pressure on either side.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Anthropic sponsor H-1B visas for Accountants?
Yes, Anthropic sponsors H-1B visas for Accountant roles. The company has an established pattern of visa sponsorship within its finance and operations function. Because accounting must qualify as a specialty occupation under USCIS standards, the job description needs to clearly require a specific bachelor's degree in accounting or a closely related field, not just any business degree.
Which visa types does Anthropic use for Accountant positions?
Anthropic sponsors H-1B, H-1B1 visa, and E-3 visas for accounting roles. The H-1B applies to most nationalities and goes through the annual lottery. The H-1B1 is available to nationals of Singapore and Chile without a lottery. The E-3 is available exclusively to Australian citizens and also bypasses the H-1B lottery, making it a faster path for eligible candidates.
What qualifications does Anthropic expect for Accountant roles?
Anthropic's accounting roles typically require a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a closely related field. CPA licensure or active CPA candidacy is often expected for senior positions. Given Anthropic's scale and the complexity of its revenue recognition and equity accounting, experience with technical accounting standards under U.S. GAAP and familiarity with high-growth technology company financials is a meaningful differentiator.
How do I apply for Accountant jobs at Anthropic?
You can find Anthropic's open Accountant roles through Migrate Mate, which filters specifically for positions where visa sponsorship is part of the hiring process. Apply directly through Anthropic's careers portal with a resume that connects your accounting experience to the specific technical duties in the job description. Tailor your application to reflect U.S. GAAP experience and any relevant CPA credentials.
How do I navigate the visa filing timeline once I have an offer from Anthropic?
Once Anthropic extends an offer, the H-1B process starts with a DOL Labor Condition Application, which typically takes around seven business days to certify. If your petition is cap-subject, it must be filed in April for an October 1 start date. If you're on OPT, confirm your STEM extension eligibility early, as it may bridge the gap between your offer and your H-1B activation date.
