Finance Systems & Automation Analyst

inKind•Austin, TX

About The Position

inKind is transforming restaurant financing and customer engagement through an innovative fintech platform that provides restaurants with growth capital while helping consumers discover and enjoy dining experiences nationwide. As inKind continues to scale, our Finance organization is increasingly powered by technology, automation, and interconnected data. We’re looking for a Finance Systems & Automation Analyst who can help operate, troubleshoot, and improve the systems and workflows behind our accounting and financial processes. This is not a traditional accounting role, and we are not looking for a software engineer. We are looking for a systems-oriented problem solver who is naturally good at understanding how things work, breaking complicated processes into logical steps, working with financial data, and figuring out what is happening when something doesn’t work as expected. You will sit at the intersection of Finance, Accounting, Data, and Technology, helping operate and improve the automated workflows that support our financial infrastructure. A significant portion of the role will involve working in NetSuite, alongside tools such as Google Sheets, SQL, internal data sources, integrations, and third-party platforms. You do not need to be an expert programmer. You do need to be comfortable looking at an unfamiliar process, dataset, formula, query, or piece of logic and methodically figuring out how it works. The ideal person has strong numerical intuition, exceptional attention to detail, and the curiosity to ask not only “Is this number correct?” but also “Where did this number come from, how did it get here, and how could we make this process better?”

Requirements

Strong systems thinking — you naturally break problems into inputs, rules, dependencies, outputs, and exceptions.
Strong numerical intuition and an ability to recognize when financial data does not make sense.
Comfort working with large datasets and identifying patterns, anomalies, and inconsistencies.
Ability to approach ambiguous problems with limited context and determine what questions need to be answered first.
Strong attention to detail without losing sight of the broader process or business objective.
Comfort learning unfamiliar systems, tools, formulas, and technical concepts independently.
Ability to read and reason through existing formulas, queries, or code even if you would not consider yourself a developer.
Ability to troubleshoot systematically rather than relying on trial and error.
Strong communication skills and the ability to explain technical or financial processes in straightforward terms.

Trace data through multiple systems to identify where errors or inconsistencies originate.
Independently resolve routine systems and data issues while identifying the source, scope, and appropriate escalation path for more complex problems.
Break complex financial processes into clear, logical steps and identify opportunities to simplify or automate them.
Understand existing formulas, queries, scripts, integrations, and workflows well enough to troubleshoot and improve them.
Identify repetitive manual processes that could be standardized, automated, or eliminated.
Support the implementation of new products, systems, and business processes as they interact with Accounting and Finance.
Create ad-hoc reporting, tools, and analyses to answer new business questions.
Partner across Finance, Accounting, Product, Engineering, Data, and other teams to translate business requirements into practical solutions.
Document processes and workflows so that systems remain understandable, scalable, and maintainable as the company grows.
