DoorDash
Manager, Lease Accounting
🌐 Remote - US · $124.5K-183K
DoorDash signed a definitive agreement to acquire Instacart for approximately $17 billion on October 29, 2026 - five days ago.

Allworth Financial
Senior Staff Accountant
🌐 Remote · $115K-135K
Allworth Financial closed a new strategic investment partnership co-led by Integrum Holdings, Lightyear Capital, and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan in April 2026, then acquired $1.1B tax-advisory firm Sachetta in August 2026 - its most significant deal since the capital raise. A Senior Staff Accountant hire here is directly downstream of that M&A pace.

🌐 Remote - US · $243.2K-251K
Instacart (NASDAQ: CART) is the target in DoorDash's pending $17 billion acquisition, with the deal expected to close in late 2027 or early 2028 - meaning internal audit at Instacart is operating through a prolonged pre-close period with active regulatory and integration scrutiny. The $243.2K-$251K range makes this the highest-ceiling role in today's send.

The ice cream shop that makes money when it's cold
28 Wishes sells ice cream in Los Angeles. Below 70°F, sales fall about 20%. The weather is out of their hands. Rent isn't.
So the owners started putting about $20 a day into Kalshi weather markets, taking the cold side. The days that keep customers away now pay something back.
This is hedging. Big companies have done it for decades, buying protection against bad weather, fuel spikes and rising rates. It used to take a broker, a trading desk, and an order size no corner shop could meet.
Kalshi opens it up. Contracts on weather, fuel prices, inflation, tariffs and regulation, starting at a few dollars. Take a position on the outcome that would hurt you. If it hits, the payout softens it. If it doesn't, the contract expires and the good month was the point.
