Job description

Decile Group (https://decilegroup.com) builds the infrastructure that powers venture capital firms. Our platform, Decile Hub, is used by hundreds of fund managers to run their operations, manage LPs, and make investments. We're a fintech company growing fast, and we need someone to keep our internal finance and people operations running at the same standard we hold our product to.

This is not a traditional accounting or HR job. You will be working in a modern, cloud-native stack (Rippling, QuickBooks, Ignition), supporting a team that moves quickly, and owning processes end to end from day one. If your experience is primarily in large enterprises, government, or non-profits, this role will likely feel like a poor fit. If you've thrived in a startup or fintech environment and you like owning things, keep reading.

Role Overview

We are hiring a Finance & People Operations Associate to run the day-to-day finance and people operations of a fast-growing fintech company. You will be a key contributor to keeping our finance and HR operations running smoothly while making sure our team is well supported. This is a great opportunity for someone detail-oriented, eager to learn, and excited to grow their career in startup operations.

This is a remote position. Applicants must be based in the U.S.

What You'll Own

• Quarterly AR cycle: sending invoices to 250+ customers through Ignition, tracking collections, and following up on past-due accounts
• AP processing: managing vendor invoices and ensuring timely payment
• Payroll and benefits administration in Rippling, including onboarding, offboarding, and deductions accuracy
• Month-end close support: bank reconciliations, prepaid schedules, accruals, and benefits expense reconciliation
• State compliance: managing multi-state payroll registrations and keeping us current as the team grows
• HR records and compliance with employment regulations across remote-first headcount
• Ad hoc support for the VP of Finance on reporting, audits, and operational projects

What You Have

• 5-10 years of experience in accounting, HR administration, or finance operations at a startup, tech company, or fintech
• Hands-on experience with Rippling (HR, payroll, or benefits modules)
• Proficiency in QuickBooks or a comparable cloud accounting platform
• Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills
• A track record of owning processes independently, not just executing tasks assigned by a manager
• Comfort handling sensitive data with discretion
• Clear, professional written communication
• You know what a cap table is, or you're curious enough to figure it out

What We Offer

• Tangible impact on the future of humanity
• Opportunity for career growth and role expansion
• Competitive compensation package commensurate with experience
• Vibrant and flexible work environment, among like-minded people with an entrepreneurial mindset

$75,000 - $100,000 a year

Compensation commensurate with experience.
