You'll be part of our Operations team, working closely with teams across the company to manage RedCircle's financial processes, reporting, and day-to-day operations. Our business involves thousands of podcasters, complex advertising campaigns, and thousands of financial transactions every month, so we're looking for someone who is detail-oriented, analytical, and excited to dig into the complexities of how the business operates.

This is a hands-on role with significant ownership. You'll coordinate with our contract bookkeeper and external accounting partners, work with our advertising and account management teams to establish processes and resolve issues, and provide accurate financial information to company leadership and investors. You'll also have opportunities to improve and automate our financial workflows as we continue to grow.

If you're someone who enjoys solving problems, likes working with data, can get in the details in the accounting software, and loves building efficient processes, we'd love to hear from you.

- Prepare monthly financial statements and reporting for company leadership, including the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow reporting, in coordination with our bookkeeper.
- Maintain short-term cash flow forecasts and help leadership understand the company's cash position, expected inflows, and upcoming obligations.

- Manage payment operations and support, investigating payment issues, responding to inquiries, and coordinating with internal teams to resolve problems. Oversee AR and AP alongside our bookkeeper.
- Maintain accurate financial records and processes, partnering with external accountants and other advisors on accounting questions, year-end close, and tax-related requests.
- Identify opportunities to improve and automate financial workflows, helping make our accounting, invoicing, reporting, and payment processes more accurate, efficient, and scalable.
- Prepare recurring and ad-hoc financial analyses to help leadership understand business performance, revenue trends, and operational financial metrics.
- Support company leadership and other teams on finance-related projects and initiatives as needed.

- A solid understanding of accounting principles and financial statements, with the ability to work effectively with professional accountants and external advisors.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to investigate financial discrepancies and work with complex datasets.
- Advanced proficiency in Excel, including financial modeling, data analysis, and reconciliations.
