Job description

Graphite is a growing boutique finance, accounting & strategy firm built to help startups scale efficiently and sustainably. We were born out of a venture capital fund, ffVC, in NYC in 2008, supporting their early-stage portfolio of early-stage companies. In 2016, we began working with the broader startup community. We are a team of seasoned Entrepreneurs, CFOs, Investors, and Accountants with a vast understanding of startup accounting and a passion for growing companies, and we’ve worked with some of the coolest startups around: The Sill, Caraway, Settle, The Muse, and Finmark to name a few.

We're looking for a process-driven senior accounting associate to work directly with our experienced team of accounting and finance professionals and startup clients. The senior associate will handle the day-to-day accounting needs of our startup clients.

We are looking for candidates with experience, drive, and passion.

This is a full-time position that is fully remote. Candidates must be based in the US. However, we do have coworking spaces in Orlando and Tampa that are available as needed. It is nice to see everyone and get lunch once in a while!

5. Update/create supporting schedules for financial statements
6. Process payroll for clients
7. Perform month-end close activities
8. Assist in all aspects of preparation for meetings with portfolio companies

Who are you:

1. You have 4 years minimum of bookkeeping/accounting experience
2. You have a bachelor's degree from an accredited university in accounting
3. You have QuickBooks Online experience; QuickBooks Certification Preferred
4. You have deep expertise in relevant accounting and control practices and experience with general ledger functions, month-end/year-end close process, and financial reporting
5. You’re an entrepreneurial self-starter and team player who is comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
6. You have experience designing, implementing, and managing financial accounting and ERP systems
7. You have a high degree of personal motivation, work ethic, and professionalism
8. You can prioritize given tasks and work efficiently towards completing them
9. Enthusiastic about working for and with growing startup companies

You’ll love working at Graphite because:

1. Balance. We encourage you to take time to recharge outside of the office. You’ll have flexible PTO to explore new places, hobbies, or TV shows
2. We’re not just an employer. We’re people. We offer insurance coverage (health, vision, and dental).
3. We’ll invest in your career. Our company is growing quickly, and we’ll give you the opportunity to do the same. You’ll have access to many professional development opportunities so that you can keep up with the company’s evolving needs.
4. We’re creating an environment where everyone can thrive. Our customers are global and diverse, so we’re building a team that is, too.
5. We offer competitive compensation packages. We deeply value the talent our team brings to the table and believe that fair and equitable total compensation packages are part of our commitment to everyone who works here.
