Director Of Finance and Reporting

BRAINS AND MOTION EDUCATION•San Francisco, CA

1d•$130,000 - $160,000•Remote

About The Position

Brains and Motion Education is a national after-school enrichment provider operating thousands of programs annually across multiple states. We deliver enrichment classes, structured recess, sports programs, full-service after-school enrichment, and summer camps to schools, districts, and parents. We are a venture-backed, growth-stage company with a clear path to scale and an ambitious operational agenda. This is a hands-on senior finance role with direct CFO partnership. You will own the accuracy and interpretation of our financial reporting, lead investigation of revenue and invoicing issues, and oversee multi-state compliance. You will not maintain a steady state — you will help build one. The right candidate sees the legacy issues, imperfect data, and outsourced accounting environment as an opportunity rather than a problem.

Requirements

7–12 years of progressive finance and accounting experience, including review and analysis of the financial close and reporting process.
Multi-unit services background — education, staffing, hospitality, professional services, franchise operations, or similar.
Strong Excel and analytical skills.
Comfortable building reconciliations and investigative analyses in imperfect data environments.
Experience supporting audits, financings, or lender relationships.
Direct experience overseeing or managing an outsourced accounting function
Ability to understand tax compliance issues.
Excellent written communication. Can produce a one-page narrative that is accurate, clear, and decision-ready.
CPA strongly preferred.
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with Sage Intacct, Salesforce, Paycom, or comparable systems is a plus.

Responsibilities

Review every monthly financial deliverable produced by Consero (our outsourced accounting partner) before it reaches the CFO. Identify variances, errors, classification issues, and gaps. Hold Consero accountable on timeliness, accuracy, and analytical quality. Serve as the day-to-day working partner to Consero's VP of Finance.
Own the monthly financial reporting package, including variance explanations, trend analysis, and the executive-ready narrative.
Partner with Consero on month-end close mechanics; you do not own the close itself but you own whether the output is right.
Build ad hoc reconciliations between Salesforce contracts and programs, scheduled delivery, invoicing in Sage Intacct, and revenue recognition in the general ledger.
Investigate revenue recognition disconnects driven by program changes, cancellations, and schedule modifications.
Identify root causes of invoicing delays, missing POs, and aged AR. Drive resolution with Revenue Operations and Consero.
As patterns emerge, partner with VP of Finance Business Processes and Systems to design durable processes and system controls that stop issues before they occur.
Support tax and state compliance with supplemental financial information requirements.
Support the CFO on banking and financing diligence and compliance.
Support audit follow-up and prevention of repeat findings.
Perform financial analysis on profitability, fill rates, and program-level economics as needed.
