Job description

A high-growth, deadline-driven External Auditor will thrive in this mid-level role supporting finance operations in Seattle, WA. The appeal is layered — $99,000 - $141,000, a remote rhythm, finance ownership, and a McKinsey & Company crew that backs bold calls.

Key Responsibilities

• Implement and document internal controls to safeguard company assets
• Keep deferred revenue schedules airtight as contracts renew
• Knit Internal Audit pipelines into the close so data lands pre-validated
• Sit with sales on deal structure before the oddball-friendly contract is signed
• Keep depreciation schedules synced as assets retire across Seattle
• Own the accounts-payable cycle from invoice intake through final disbursement
• Run the remote close for a mid-level ledger you fully own

What You'll Bring

• The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly
• The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
• 5 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
• Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level
• A data-driven bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
• A point of view, held loosely and defended well
• Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a mid-level capacity

Our team at McKinsey & Company is spirited-and-grounded, collaborative, and proud to call Seattle, WA home. We move fast on Communication but slow down whenever someone says they feel rushed past good judgment.

We combine $99,000 - $141,000 with flexible remote work, paid volunteer days, and clear opportunities for advancement.
