You'll support the full planning cycle — from monthly close and reporting to budgeting, forecasting, and ad hoc analysis — while building deep familiarity with our core operating systems. This is an ideal opportunity for someone early in their finance career who wants hands-on experience across both accounting and FP&A, and who thrives in a fast-paced, analytical environment.

    • Support ad hoc financial and operational analyses that inform business decisions
    • Translate data into clear, concise narratives for management audiences
  • Budgeting & Forecasting
    • Assist in the annual budgeting process and quarterly reforecast cycles
    • Maintain and update financial models with actuals, forecast updates, and scenario assumptions
    • Partner with department heads to review their P&Ls, track spend against budget, and flag variances
  • Accounting Close and Operational Support
    • Collaborate directly with the accounting team during monthly and quarterly close
    • Gain hands-on experience in Sage Intacct, including journal entries, accruals, and reporting
    • Review, code and approve vendor bills and credit card transactions in Bill.com in line with budget and vendor contracts including prepaid subscriptions
    • Record and reconcile daily bank activity with Sage Intacct
    • Assist with monthly / quarterly balance sheet account reconciliations
    • Support accounting team with ad hoc reporting requests
    • Ensure financial data integrity between source systems and reporting outputs
  • Systems & Tools
    • Work daily in Sage Intacct, Salesforce, and Microsoft Excel
    • Leverage Claude (AI) to accelerate analysis, drafting, and research in day-to-day work
    • Identify opportunities to improve reporting efficiency and data workflows

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field
  • 2–4 years of relevant experience (internships count)
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, financial modeling)
  • Working knowledge of basic accounting concepts (debits/credits, accruals, P&L vs. balance sheet)
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Structured thinker with an analytical mindset and high attention to detail

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Sage Intacct or another ERP system
  • Exposure to Salesforce or similar CRM
  • Familiarity with AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT) in a professional context
