Position Overview
As the Accounting Specialist for the AI Robot Association (AIRoA), you will be responsible for a wide range of accounting operations, from daily tasks through to monthly and annual closing. Your specific duties will include journal entry input, invoice and payment processing, cash-in/cash-out management, accounts receivable and payable management, support for monthly and annual closing, and coordination with tax accountants and auditors.
At AIRoA, it is essential not only to clearly track all sources of income, but also to manage profit and loss by project and handle budgeting and variance analysis. Looking ahead, you will also be involved in designing accounting workflows, selecting appropriate accounting standards, and building internal control frameworks.
【業務内容】
AIロボット協会(AIRoA)の経理担当として、日次~月次・年次決算までの経理実務を幅広くお任せします。具体的には、仕訳入力、請求・支払処理、入出金管理、債権債務管理、月次決算・年次決算補助、税理士・監事対応などです。AIRoAは収入源の確認を明確に行いながら、プロジェクト別の収支管理や予算・実績管理も重要な役割です。将来的には経理フローや会計基準の選択、内部統制の仕組みづくりにも関わっていただきます。
【What Makes the "Accounting Specialist" Role at AIRoA Unique】
Accounting at AIRoA is not a role where you "just manage the numbers." As an association that aims to drive technological innovation in robotics and its social implementation through the fusion of robots and AI, you will have a bird's-eye view of the flow of funds in large-scale projects focused on building a robot data ecosystem.
As a NEDO-funded initiative, we operate with a substantial R&D budget and are expected to provide highly transparent financial information and ensure accountability to a wide range of stakeholders, including member companies, universities, research institutions, and subject-matter experts.
In this role, you can experience both the public-interest mission of a general incorporated association and the fast pace of a venture, while truly "supporting the mission of the association through numbers."
【AIRoAの「経理担当」の醍醐味】
AIRoAの経理は「数字を管理するだけ」のポジションではありません。ロボットとAIの融合により、ロボット開発の技術革新と社会実装を目指す協会として、ロボットデータエコシステム構築に向けた大型プロジェクトの資金の流れを俯瞰できます。NEDOの採択事業として、大規模な研究開発予算のもと、会員企業・大学・研究機関・有識者など、多様なステークホルダーに対して透明性の高い会計情報を提供し、説明責任を果たすことが求められます。一般社団法人ならではの公益性とベンチャー的なスピード感の両方を体験しながら、「数字で協会のミッションを支える」手応えを実感できるポジションです。
【The Appeal of Taking On This Challenge at AIRoA, Just as We Are Getting Started】
AIRoA is a general incorporated association established in 2024. As our projects move into full swing, our organizational development is accelerating. We operate with a small, highly skilled team and are very much in the "building the rules and mechanisms from scratch" phase typical of an early-stage organization.
This means you will have the opportunity to co-design our accounting policies, chart of accounts, approval workflows, reporting formats, and more. It is a rare environment where you can shape your own career while supporting researchers, companies, and the association itself at the forefront of robotics and AI.
【スタートを切ったばかりのAIRoAで挑戦する魅力】
AIRoAは2024年設立の一般社団法人でプロジェクトも本格的に始動し始め、組織づくりが加速しています。組織は少数精鋭体制で運営されており、立ち上げ期ならではの「今からルールや仕組みをつくっていく」状態です。そのため、会計方針・勘定科目体系・承認フロー・レポートフォーマットなどを一緒に設計できます。ロボティクスやAIの最前線で活躍する研究者・企業や協会を支えながら、自身のキャリアもつくっていける稀有な環境です。
【Other】
While remote work is possible, this role is primarily expected to be office-based.
Most of our engineers and researchers also work on-site, conducting research and development directly in front of the robots.
【その他】
リモートワーク可ではありますが、原則として出社での勤務を想定しています。
エンジニアや研究者も多くは出社し、ロボットを前に研究開発に取り組んでいます。
【About AIRoA】
AIRoA was established in December 2024 with two core objectives: "to revolutionize the technology of robot development through the fusion of robots and AI" and "to promote the use of robots in society." While AI is rapidly advancing worldwide, the shortage of data in robot development has become a critical issue.
To address this challenge, we are running a national flagship project funded by NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization), with an investment of over JPY 20 billion.
【AIRoAの概要】
「ロボットとAIの融合によってロボット開発の技術を革新すること」「社会におけるロボットの活用を推進すること」AIRoAは2024年12月に設立された組織であり、この2つの目的を掲げています。今、世界中でAIが急速に発展する一方、ロボット開発ではデータ不足が深刻です。私たちはNEDO(国立研究開発法人 新エネルギー・産業技術総合開発機構)から200億円を超える出資による国家プロジェクトを進行しています。
●Recruitment Background
AIRoA has launched large-scale R&D projects, including the development of foundational robot models. The association is driving a national initiative with a total project budget of approximately 20 billion yen, and multiple new projects are expected to roll out going forward.
To support this growth, we are newly hiring an Accounting Specialist to build a robust internal accounting and finance structure. You will play a key role as a core member in shaping both the organization and its financial systems.
●募集背景
AIRoAは総事業予算200億円規模の国家プロジェクトを推進しており、今後複数のプロジェクト進行していきます。今回、経理担当を新たに採用し、内部の会計・財務体制を本格的に構築していくことになりました。組織と仕組みづくりのコアメンバーとしてご活躍いただきます。
●Future Mission
After joining AIRoA, you will first get up to speed by taking on day-to-day accounting operations and monthly closing as your main responsibilities. Building on that foundation, your role will expand into governance-related areas, including preparing statutory financial statements required of a general incorporated association, and creating materials and providing explanations for auditor reviews, board of directors meetings, and general meetings of members.
You will also play a key role in building our management accounting framework—such as budget and cost control for various joint research projects, and the classification and management of membership fees, donations, and operating income. In addition, you will be involved in formulating medium- to long-term funding plans, and we expect you to help lead the association as a whole from a finance and accounting perspective.
●将来的なミッション
入社後は、日常経理や月次決算などを中心に業務をキャッチアップしていただきます。そのうえで、一般社団法人として求められる計算書類の作成、監事監査・理事会・社員総会向けの資料作成や説明など、ガバナンス面にも領域を広げていただきます。また、各種共同研究の予算管理・原価管理、会費・寄付金・事業収入の区分管理など、管理会計の仕組みづくりも重要なミッションです。中長期の資金計画などの策定にも関わり、協会全体をリードしていただくことを期待しています。
