Kit

5d•$5,800 - $6,600•Remote

About The Position

Kit is an email-first operating system for creators who mean business. We help creators grow and monetize their audience with ease. For coaches, YouTubers, authors, podcasters, and other creatives, there isn't a better marketing hub to rely on to grow audiences, automate email marketing, and sell digital products — all within one platform. We're on a mission to help creators earn $1 billion using our creator marketing platform. We have always been 100% independent and 100% remote. We are proud to have built a product that our customers love, and we look for people who have enthusiasm and belief in our mission, vision, and values to join our team. We're also embracing AI thoughtfully — both in how we build and how we hire to ensure our team is adaptable, innovative, and ready for what's next. The role Our Newsletter Sponsorships business connects brands with creator newsletters, and the finance operation behind it (invoicing, collections, creator payouts, and a four-day monthly close) needs a dedicated owner. We're looking for a Finance Operations Specialist to run the full order-to-cash cycle: put signed insertion orders on the books, invoice brands, collect what they owe, pay creators once brands pay, and close the books every month. This is a part-time contract role (30 hours/week) with peak load during month-end close (business days 1-4) and the monthly invoicing window. It's ideal for a detail-driven finance operator who likes owning a process end to end, can pick up an existing playbook and keep it current, and has an appetite to help automate it. We're actively working to connect our tools (Mode to Bill.com, Mode to the payout portal) and retire manual steps over time.

Requirements

Full-cycle accounts receivable: invoicing, collections, cash application, and aging management
Reconciliation rigor: tying a subledger or tracker to the general ledger and reconciling payment exports to the penny
Comfort with large transactional datasets and payment platforms: Mode and Stripe exports, CSV handling
Advanced Google Sheets (large multi-tab workbooks, filter views, disciplined data hygiene in shared files)
Bill.com and QuickBooks Online (or close equivalents you can pick up fast)
Clear, professional written communication: you'll email brands about money, represent Kit in collections, and field creator finance questions ("when am I getting paid?")
Intermediate accounting literacy: you understand AR/AP and the three-party creator, brand, and Kit flow
3+ years in finance or accounting operations with direct ownership of AR, collections, or payouts
Month-end close experience against a hard deadline.

Nice To Haves

Hands-on experience with Stripe or a comparable payments platform at volume (strongly preferred)
Ads, media, or marketplace finance: insertion orders, CPC/CPM economics, or revenue-share/payout models (nice to have)
Working alongside engineering teams on finance tooling / process automation (nice to have)
Collections or credit management, including working with a collections agency or credit insurer (nice to have)

Responsibilities

Run the full order-to-cash cycle: put signed insertion orders on the books, invoice brands, collect what they owe, pay creators once brands pay, and close the books every month.
Keep AR aging current with a disciplined dunning cycle (Bill.com automated reminders, then manual outreach at 45 / 60 / 90 days).
Manage collections escalations.
Own the monthly reconciliation between QuickBooks Online and Bill.com so the books and the tracker agree.
Surface and help close the manual gaps (sync issues, international payouts) that currently create variances.
Be the reliable, audit-ready source of truth for Newsletter Sponsorships finance: clean receivables, on-time creator payouts, a close that never slips, and SOPs anyone could pick up.
Partner with Finance and Engineering as we evaluate moving off spreadsheets to a more durable system.
Take on additional tasks as assigned by the finance and accounting team.
