    • Build data models and what-if scenarios to support leadership initiatives
  • Drive process optimization:
    • Identify opportunities to automate, streamline, or eliminate manual workflows 
    • Collaborate with the Billing and Client Experience (CX) teams to align invoicing, forecasting, and revenue recognition processes
    • Partner with relevant stakeholders to implement improvements within finance tools
  • Enhance systems & data infrastructure:
    • Help redesign reports and workflows to support a restructured financial reporting model
    • Ensure accuracy and integrity across revenue, client margin, and performance reporting
    • Leverage BI tools (Power BI, Data Warehouses) to extract and visualize actionable insights
  • Act as Subject Matter Expert for time tracking data and reporting:
    • Serve as the point person for validating, reconciling, and interpreting time entry data within NetSuite
    • Work cross-functionally with Resource Management and CX teams to ensure proper time capture and categorization
    • Maintain accurate reporting on time-based effort to support client billing, project profitability, and staffing insights
  • Be a cross-functional partner:
    • Join monthly CX and department meetings to stay aligned with initiatives and update forecasts
    • Respond to ad hoc requests from senior leadership, providing fast, accurate, and well-contextualized analysis
    • Be a visible, proactive contributor who helps elevate finance as a strategic partner

What You Bring:

  • 4+ years in Finance or Accounting, with strong FP&A and revenue recognition experience
  • Background in a digital marketing agency, consulting firm, or other project-based services business
  • Proven track record with month-end revenue entries, reconciliations, and reporting

  • A process optimizer – you find better, faster ways to get work done
  • Expert-level Excel / Google Sheets skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, model building)
  • Strong communicator who collaborates well with non-finance stakeholders
Why You’ll Love It Here
  • Fully remote-first culture — work from anywhere in the U.S.
  • A collaborative, transparent team where your insights drive real business impact

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
