About The Position

This is a hands-on operator role: you'll run the accounting "engine," partner closely with Treasury Ops (who executes AP/AR and payment operations), and bring the structure, documentation, and spreadsheet horsepower needed to scale. You'll ensure our financials are accurate, audit-ready, and delivered on time—operating independently with strong quality gates and minimal oversight.
You will report to the Senior Director of Finance & Operations and serve as the primary owner of the accounting close and reconciliations during scheduled Finance leadership leave periods.

Requirements

• CPA preferred (or equivalent experience)
• 5+ years in corporate accounting and/or close execution roles (startup/scale-up a plus)
• Demonstrated ability to own month-end close independently in a lean org
• Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills (pivots, XLOOKUP/INDEX-MATCH, SUMIFS, cross-workbook functions, multi-criteria logic)
• Comfort making judgment calls and documenting decisions clearly
• Strong "no surprises" communication and documentation habits
• Experience improving processes, automating workflows, and supporting audits
• You care deeply about the mission of direct aid and supporting anyone who needs help

Nice To Haves

• Naturally curious and analytical - you don’t stop at “it doesn’t tie,” you ask why, trace it to root cause, and prevent it from recurring.
• Strong communicator to leadership - you can summarize what happened, what you found, and what decision/action is needed in a clear, non-technical way.
• Tool-builder mindset — you’ve built spreadsheets or lightweight tools from scratch (templates, checks, dashboards, models) that reduced errors or saved meaningful time, and you can explain your logic.

Responsibilities

• Execute the monthly close calendar, checklist, and deliverables with consistent timeline (target: ~14 business days)
• Prepare and maintain key account reconciliations (cash/bank, prepaids, accruals, deferred items, payroll) with clear support and variance follow-up
• Produce accurate monthly financial outputs (budget vs. actual, department reporting, next-twelve-month revenue tracking)
• Reconcile activity across banks and payment processors (e.g., Mercury, Dwolla, card partners) and ensure clearing/timing items are tracked, explained, and resolved.
• Perform final review of financials (reasonableness checks, variance investigation) before release
• Ensure revenue accrual estimates and deferral schedules tie cleanly to source systems and documentation (and reconcile to GL revenue).
• Drive cleanup and prevention of aged recon items
• Partner with Treasury Ops/Program Finance Ops to maintain accurate program/grant fund balance schedules and tie-outs across many programs/accounts.
• Own finance systems (accounting-side) for Rillet + Ramp integrations—drive improvements, not just usage
• Build error-proof templates and checks that catch issues early (period/cutoff errors, miscodings, unmapped items)
• Reduce manual work with clean mappings, automation-first workflows, and auditable spreadsheets/models
• Partner with Treasury Ops to align data outputs with accounting records and maintain reliable cash visibility
• Create lightweight analyses to answer practical questions and share insights with Finance leadership
• Maintain SOPs for close, reconciliations, and accounting workflows
• Create a clean, organized evidence trail for auditors/diligence (repeatable PBC responses, defensible documentation)
• Own audit/diligence finance-side execution, coordinating with Finance leadership and Compliance as needed
• Perform periodic reviews of approvals, access, and permissions
• Coordinate and support external tax accountants for corporate tax returns

Benefits

• Fair salaries that are transparent and competitive, with a maximum ratio of 3:1 between the highest and lowest paid employees at the company
• Fully remote work setting with home office setup and maintenance stipends
• Unlimited paid time off
• Retirement plan with 401K matching
• Health benefits (for you and your family)
• Flexible schedule
• Generous 16-week paid parental leave
• Professional development support
