Job description

About Treeline

Treeline is building the Modern IT Operating System — a software‑ and AI‑native foundation that redefines how IT, security, and compliance are delivered. Rather than layering AI on top of decades‑old workflows, we rebuilt the MSP operating model from the ground up, with software as the foundation. Our AI‑enhanced 24/7 help desk delivers 80% faster response times and a 95% reduction in error rates versus traditional industry standard.

We operate in a $200B+ MSP market where 40,000+ providers still run on manual coordination and reactive ticketing. Treeline replaces that with a centralized software architecture — automating routine operations while elevating human experts to focus on architecture, risk, and strategy. We serve growth‑stage companies, with deep strength in regulated verticals (SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC).

Through a combination of organic and inorganic expansion strategy, Treeline is growing fast. We’re backed by a16z ($25 M Series A) and have built a team with deep experience at the intersection of software and services, with a team of IT / security services industry‑veterans (e.g., Evergreen, Lyra) and top university graduates (Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley).

Job Summary

As our Finance Operations Associate, you’ll own the accounts payable engine for Treeline — from vendor onboarding through payment, reconciliation, and month‑end close. This is a high‑ownership, early finance hire: you’ll get direct exposure to AI‑native finance operations (we’ll teach you the stack), a clear path to grow as the function and the company scale, and a front‑row seat to a fast‑moving, multi‑entity rollup. If you’re detail‑obsessed, dependable, and eager to build, there’s room to make the role your own and grow in the company.

Responsibilities include:

• [Ownership & Problem‑Solving] Take end‑to‑end ownership of critical finance processes in a high‑agency role, driving fixes and closing process gaps where it makes sense
• [Process & Automation] Opportunity to experiment, engineer and implement new process and technology solutions as we scale, turning manual, repetitive tasks into repeatable processes & systems
• [Vendor Management] Own vendor onboarding and master‑data hygiene (W9 / W8 collection, banking‑detail verification (a key fraud control) and payment terms setup)
• [Accounts Payable] Run weekly payment cycles across multiple entities and bank accounts, managing AP again and resolving past‑dues
• [Vendor Reconciliation] Perform vendor statement and reconciliation and 3‑way match (PO / receipt / invoice) where applicable
• [Corporate Spend] Administer the corporate card program (Ramp) - policy enforcement, receipt / coding compliance
• [Transaction Management] Coordinate intercompany transactions across Treeline and acquired operating entities
• [Closing Books] Support month‑end close with AP accruals, prepaid schedules and accurate GL / entity coding

What you bring:

• [Experience] 0‑3 years of experience in finance, accounting or operations role – recent grads and career switchers welcome
• [Accounting Training] Formal accounting training (e.g. accounting major or CPA) with fluency in financial statement reporting. Comfortable with the AP cycle, debits/credits and basic reconciliation
• [Work Approach] Dependable and responsive, with exceptional attention to detail and accuracy on repetitive, high‑volume work
• [Coachability] Willingness to learn new technologies
• [Communication] Exceptional verbal and written communication skills; you can simplify complex technical concepts for non‑technical buyers.
• [Startup Mindset] You thrive in a fast‑paced environment where the playbook is still being written and are comfortable with ambiguity.
• [Nice to Have] Hands‑on exposure to AP / expense tools (bill.com, Ramp) or an accounting ERP (Quickbooks, NetSuite, Campfire)
• [Nice to Have] Literacy with advanced data analytics tools including SQL and Python – or the appetite to build it

Benefits

• Competitive compensation
• Healthcare + Vision + Dental benefits
• Hybrid work environment
• Flexible time‑off policy

Expected OTE is $65,000‑$75,000 annually depending on experience.
