Job description

Cash flow does not forecast itself, which is why LinkedIn is adding an External Auditor to the St. Cloud team. The pitch is honest — $92,000 - $137,000, real ownership of finance outcomes, and a LinkedIn crew in St. Cloud that has your back.

Key Responsibilities

• Field the empowering ad-hoc analysis the CFO needs before Monday
• Build cash-flow models that hold up under a design-led stress test
• Carry the hybrid payroll run from gross calc to filed tax deposit
• Keep the MN unemployment and withholding accounts perfectly square
• Monitor key finance metrics and report on performance to leadership
• Reconcile merchant fees against statements that never quite match

What You'll Bring

• Working knowledge of Cost Accounting alongside transferable Variance Analysis chops
• Detail-oriented approach with a commitment to accuracy
• Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written
• A St. Cloud network, or the hustle to build one from scratch
• Knowledge of MN-specific regulations relevant to finance work
• Hands-on proficiency with Accruals, ideally paired with Variance Analysis

Built in St. Cloud and run on caffeine and conviction, LinkedIn turns messy finance problems into clean, repeatable wins. We default to documenting decisions so MN and remote teammates stay equally in the loop.

At LinkedIn, $92,000 - $137,000 is just the opener; the mentorship, benefits, and St. Cloud, MN flexibility are where the offer gets good.

Live and hiring this very moment for the St. Cloud, MN team.

We hire for hunger as much as resumes, so if that's you, the External Auditor role is open.
