Finance Director - San Francisco, CA, United States - Hirsch Philanthropy Partners
Description
Position Overview: Third Plateau, a growing multi-disciplinary social impact strategy firm, is looking for an intelligent, self-directed professional to serve as a Finance Director. Under the guidance of Third Plateau's Senior Director, the Finance Director will work with external philanthropic foundation clients to provide financial administration and accounting. Top candidates will be highly organized self-starters, able to work under tight deadlines, able to juggle multiple assignments simultaneously, and be hungry to learn.
Application Deadline: Rolling, first review beginning March 1, 2024
Start Date: ASAP
Location: Flexible on remote locations, with access to office space in the Bay Area. Please note that being authorized to work in the U.S. is a precondition of employment at Third Plateau, as we are not able to sponsor applicants for work visas at this time.
Starting Annual Salary (Exempt): $90,000 - $110,000
A compensation committee of at least one department head, co-founder, and the COO will meet to discuss potential starting salary within the band by weighing the candidate's expected contribution in terms of previous experience and expertise against current Third Plateau employees. We commit to sharing the reasoning used to determine starting salary with you. The expectation is not for new team members to be hired with a starting salary at the top of the band, but to have a salary that adequately compensates experience and expertise while countering pay inequality and upholding internal parity.
Benefits: In addition to collaborating with an incredible team of social impact professionals, benefits include:
WHAT YOU'LL DO
The Finance Director will serve as an integral member of the Third Plateau team. Under the guidance of Third Plateau's Senior Director, the Finance Director will provide administrative and financial support to external philanthropic management clients. Duties include, but are not limited to:
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
The Finance Director will have at least 6 years accounting experience (minimum of 3 with nonprofits). We don't know everything, and we know you don't know everything – yet we live in a world flush with information. This position requires intense curiosity, an ability to ask the right questions, good listening skills, an eagerness to learn, an open mind, and resourcefulness. The Finance Director should have extensive accounting experience (e.g., journal entries, final review of monthly closes, reconciling of bank and investment accounts, exposure to endowment/investment advisors) with the ability to pick up new skills as needed.
The Finance Director will have a commitment to quality client service and own your work product. You should have some client-facing experience in your background (paid nonprofit or foundation experience required) that demonstrates the attention to detail, timeliness, and the ability to follow directions while juggling multiple tasks needed to be successful in this role. You should be able to accurately review final closes, as well as willing to roll up your sleeves and perform data entry.
Other important things to note:
Fluency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), and QuickBooks are a must.
Top candidates will also have a strong attention to detail, be highly relational, possess a calmness under pressure, and be passionate about their work.
