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 Bookkeeper Jobs at Anthropic
Frame your credentials for specialty occupation
H-1B eligibility requires your Bookkeeper role to qualify as a specialty occupation. Gather documentation showing your bachelor's degree in accounting or finance directly applies to the position, not just general business coursework. A degree-to-role match strengthens your petition significantly.
Target Anthropic's finance team directly
Anthropic's finance and operations function is small relative to its engineering headcount, so Bookkeeper openings are competitive. Search for roles under finance, accounting, or operations rather than general administration. Referrals from employees in adjacent teams can surface openings before they go public.
Understand how E-3 fits this role
If you're an Australian citizen, the E-3 visa bypasses the H-1B lottery entirely. Anthropic sponsors E-3 petitions for qualifying roles. Confirm your offer letter specifies a specialty occupation and that your employer files the Labor Condition Application with DOL before your consulate appointment.
Clarify sponsorship scope before negotiating
Finance roles at AI companies sometimes involve phased hiring where sponsorship is confirmed only after a probationary period. Ask the recruiter explicitly whether Anthropic will file your H-1B or E-3 petition from day one, not after you convert from a trial or contractor arrangement.
Browse open Bookkeeper roles using Migrate Mate
Finding roles that actively sponsor visas saves weeks of dead-end applications. Use Migrate Mate to filter Bookkeeper openings at companies like Anthropic by visa type, so every application you submit goes to an employer with a confirmed sponsorship track record.
Plan your timeline around USCIS processing windows
H-1B cap-subject petitions have a fixed April 1 filing window with an October 1 start date. If your offer arrives outside that window, ask Anthropic whether premium processing is available or whether an H-1B1 visa or E-3 path can get you started sooner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Anthropic sponsor H-1B visas for Bookkeepers?
Yes, Anthropic sponsors H-1B visas for Bookkeeper roles. To qualify, the position must meet USCIS's specialty occupation standard, which requires a direct relationship between the role and a specific bachelor's degree field, typically accounting or finance. Your employer files Form I-129 with USCIS, and if you're subject to the cap, registration opens each March for an October 1 start date.
Which visa types does Anthropic use for Bookkeeper roles?
Anthropic sponsors H-1B, H-1B1 visa, and E-3 visas for qualifying roles including Bookkeeper positions. H-1B is the most common path for non-Australian, non-Chilean or Singaporean nationals. Australian citizens can pursue the E-3, which has no lottery and allows a faster path to starting work. Chilean and Singaporean citizens may qualify for the H-1B1, which also bypasses the H-1B cap.
What qualifications does Anthropic expect for Bookkeeper roles?
Anthropic's finance function operates in a high-growth, compliance-sensitive environment, so candidates typically need a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance and demonstrated experience with full-cycle bookkeeping, reconciliations, and reporting. Familiarity with modern accounting software and experience supporting a scaling technology company are commonly preferred. CPA licensure or progress toward it can strengthen your application, particularly for visa sponsorship purposes.
How do I apply for Bookkeeper jobs at Anthropic?
Applications go through Anthropic's careers page, where finance and operations roles are listed under business functions rather than engineering. You can also find Anthropic's open Bookkeeper positions through Migrate Mate, which filters by visa sponsorship type so you can confirm sponsorship eligibility before applying. Tailoring your resume to reflect the accounting systems and compliance requirements typical of AI research companies will help your application stand out.
How do I time my Bookkeeper job search around the H-1B filing process?
If you need H-1B sponsorship, securing an offer by February gives your employer time to complete the USCIS registration in March and file by April 1 for an October 1 start. If you miss that window, ask whether Anthropic will consider an E-3 or H-1B1 visa as a bridge if you qualify, since both can be filed at any time without lottery exposure.
