About Veridian From day one, Veridian was built on one belief: communities deserve better. We replace silos and finger-pointing with one accountable partner across management, vendors, and tech. We favor clarity over complexity, own outcomes end-to-end, and put community firstevery time.
The Role Were seeking a Finance Associate who turns messy inputs into clean, decision-ready financials. Youll close the books, tame payables/receivables, reconcile cash without drama, and build lightweight controls that scale. If you love precision, automation, and translating numbers into so what, youll thrive here.
What Youll Do Close without drama
Own month-end close (JEs, accruals/deferrals, prepaids, fixed assets; multi-entity) and deliver draft financials on a predictable cadence. Cash is king
Reconcile all bank/credit cards; maintain a rolling 13-week cash view; support light treasury (forecast vs. actual; short-term liquidity calls). AP that vendors love
Run intake
match
approval
payment with clean audit trails, approval thresholds, and on-time metrics. Revenue & AR hygiene
Invoice accurately, apply cash daily, manage aging with clear follow-ups; align credit/collections pathways with Ops & Legal. Make the data sing
Maintain COA integrity; define data standards/ownership across source systems; produce robust reporting (cash, P&L by entity/site, unit economics) with a narrative. Controls that scale
Implement practical policies (spend, approvals, reimbursements), permissions hygiene, and documentation that survives audits and change. Partner across the business
Model unit costs and margins by service line; pressure-test assumptions; surface trade-offs for leadership decisions. Own the tool curve
Learn unfamiliar platforms quickly; stand up v1 workflows, automations, and exports; formalize them into SOPs.
Success Looks Like (90-Day Outcomes) Reliable cadence: Month-end close at T+7 (draft) / T+10 (final) with variance explanations. Clean reconciliations: 100% bank/CC/loan accounts reconciled monthly; 0 reconciling items > 30 days. AP on-time: 98% of invoices paid per terms; discounts captured; late-fees near zero. AR tightened: >60-day aging down 35%; cash application same-day. Automation wins: 2 manual choke points eliminated (e.g., receipt capture, PObill sync, bank rules). Visibility: Finance reporting live and adopted (cash, P&L by entity/site, AP/AR aging, key ratios) with a clear variance-to-plan narrative. Policy in use: Core accounting policies (close calendar, capitalization thresholds, rev-rec notes) documented and applied.
30
Stabilize & Map Stand up the close checklist & calendar; reconcile all cash & cards; validate COA/entity dimensions; build initial financial packets. Inventory systems & data flows; assign owners; perform a permissions audit. Publish How Finance Flows at Veridian (intake
approval
post
report).
60
Instrument & Improve Deliver a single finance report + weekly cash brief; implement a lightweight spend/approval matrix with Legal/Compliance. Launch vendor/AP scorecard & AR follow-up rhythm; clean legacy balances with root-cause notes. Define a core data dictionary for financial fields across tools.
90
Prove Lift and Lock the System Hit T+7/T+10 close; reduce >60-day AR by 35%; automate two workflows; produce a tidy PBC index (samples, controls). Run a quarter-end mini-close drill; publish a cross-tool reconciliation report; hand off a repeatable operating kit (checklists, templates, reconciliations, narratives).
Youll Be Great Here If You Own outcomes; communicate with calm clarity; think in systems; translate numbers into action; embrace new tools and undefined spaces (youll write the spec when it doesnt exist); and care about the places people live.
Must-haves 24 years accounting experience (multi-entity or multi-site preferred). Strong GAAP fundamentals: accruals, revenue recognition, prepaids, fixed assets, intercompany. Advanced spreadsheets (lookups, pivots, basic models); comfort with dashboards/BI. Pro at reconciliations, close packs, variance narratives, and audit-ready documentation. High-signal writing and stakeholder updates; on-site as needed.
Nice-to-haves Exposure to property/field-ops environments (HOA/COA, facilities, service marketplaces). Experience with modern finance/ops stacks (ERP, AP automation, cards/expenses, payroll/HRIS, BI); basic SQL a plus. Process/controls mindset (Lean, SOX-lite thinking, or similar continuous improvement chops).
Pay & Perks 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision (employee coverage) Unlimited PTO with a strong minimum encouraged; 40 hours sick-time 15 paid holidays + Seasonal office closure Hybrid work (Miami HQ; on-site as needed) Tech allowance for hardware and tools Equity participation Growth culture: Work alongside deeply experienced teammates who care about doing great work and learning fast
