Finance Specialist

Dynamic Computing • Seattle, WA

3d • $70,000 - $80,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Dynamic Computing is looking for a Finance Specialist! Dynamic Computing is a leading IT Service Provider to small companies located in the Puget Sound region and beyond. We provide Managed IT Services, IT Support & Consulting, and integrate cloud and mobile technologies for companies who have complex IT needs but are too small to warrant having a dedicated IT department. We're looking forward to adding a great new member to our team. Remote First/Hybrid Role: This is a hybrid role based in the Seattle Metro area. You’ll handle many responsibilities remotely, but you’ll also join us in the office at least 2-3 days a week as part of a rotating schedule or as needed. Candidates must reside within about 50 miles of downtown Seattle to support these duties. What kind of person are we looking for? The “What If” Questioner – We need you to always be on the lookout for the next best thing or way of doing things – in every area! We’re a company that’s focused on moving forward, changing and growing, and we need you to be one step ahead of our ever-changing needs. An Agent of Change – You will be working with our Operations Director to be continually moving things forward and trying to make this a better place. That means asking yourself what things we need to improve and being motivated and able to kick in the afterburners when needed to get things done! The Perennial Team Player – We need you to be ready and willing to help with anything at the drop of a hat. Our ideal candidate is excited about supporting our company as a whole and helping us to accomplish our goals. A Communications Guru – You’ll be communicating with our clients and team members regularly and assisting with all sorts of questions. You need to have amazing written and verbal communications skills as you’ll be using them constantly. Person of All Trades – You need to have a knack for being good at anything you put your mind to. You’ll have your fingers in finance, procurement, operations, administration, and anything that comes up unexpectedly on a day-to-day basis. A Swiss Watch – We need you to tick and tock like the best-oiled machine around. We’ll count on you to be here on time and ready to go to provide the needed support, wherever it might be needed that day. A Tech Addict – You don’t need to have IT experience for this job (although it certainly doesn’t hurt). You do, however, need to like technology. If you don’t know the difference between your mouse and your iPhone, this isn’t the right position for you. The right candidate for this job will truly enjoy technology and want to learn new and exciting things. So what will I be doing every day? Below is a list of the day-to-day responsibilities. We’re a small company, so we can pretty much guarantee you that you’ll be asked to do things that seemingly have nothing to do with the items below – but that’s where it gets fun, right? General Accounting/Operational/Administrative Assistance - This pretty much means anything and everything else that comes up. You’ll be assisting the Director of Operations with a variety of tasks supporting the daily up-keep of the business, such as assisting with invoicing (and related interactions with clients), keeping the company’s books up-to-date, and document management related to both A/R and A/P. You’ll also be working on inter-departmental projects designed to better streamline the company’s operations. Understanding of basic accounting principles – any bookkeeping experience, along with integrity and timeliness in the fulfillment of finance-related duties, is highly desirable. QuickBooks experience preferred. Internal Reporting & Analysis - We use reporting tools, integrated with our internal systems, to create dashboards to assist our teams with keeping track of their activities. Your role will be responsible for maintaining a heightened level of understanding about the inter-relationship of our tools to ensure the accuracy, consistency, and presentation of the reporting generated. Back-up Operations Management - Occasionally, you will be asked to order, and/or received products destined for our clients in order to support the service and project teams. You’ll also be assisting the Director of Operations with overseeing inventory and making sure the company’s vault of resources is in decent order.

Requirements

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to communicate professionally with both clients and team members.
• Very detail oriented and organized – this position provides support to many different parts of our organization. Your team members will rely on you to have an answer to their question – or, at least, be able to find an answer quickly. A good memory and knack for details and organization will greatly benefit our team.
• Helpful, with a positive “can do” attitude - We’re a team, and we want you to be an integral part of it. This means we need you to help us and we'll help you, and we'll all do it with smiles on our faces most of the time.
• Hard Working - We're a company that's growing and changing. We're going to expect you to work hard and focus on moving yourself and our company forward.
• Possesses a high level of integrity / honesty – We want the truth and expect to hear it from you straight without sugar coating. That's what you'll get from us and we expect the same in return.
• Reliable – The rest of the team will be counting on you to do what you say you will… this means coming to work on time, being prepared for meetings, and being someone we can all depend on.
• Maturity – we need for someone to take ownership of this role, exercising initiative and self-motivation. Our ideal candidate excels at prioritizing responsibilities and managing their time efficiently without constant supervision or oversight. Critical thinking skills are essential for this role.
• Enthusiasm for Systems Management – we use internal tools that are not always perfectly intuitive, and we need someone excited to ‘get under the hood’ in learning about these programs, putting in the requisite time to learn and understand the inter-relationship between all applications in use.
• Bachelor’s Degree strongly preferred - preferably with a focus that involves finance and/or heavy written communication. An associate’s degree and equivalent experience will be considered.
• 5 Years’ minimum experience in an accounting/operations/ role - with significant growth/ownership over responsibilities required. Equivalent experience will be considered.
