Senior Associate - Accounting Services
$75k - $110kFounder's CPA
About Founder's CPA
Founder's CPA was founded in 2017 and is now an industry-leading accounting firm located in Chicago that focuses on outsourced accounting, tax, and CFO services for venture-backed startups. We refuse to accept the inefficient and burdensome “old school” approach to accounting and offer a modern approach that improves the client experience. This approach enables us to provide deeper and more meaningful value in our role as a trusted advisor.
We're looking for curious and reliable team members who share our values (see below) to join the team!
What We Value
We value diversity and the unique perspectives and strengths each team member brings to our firm. Together, we work in alignment with our 5 core values:
#FIOTA (Figure it out then ask) - By embracing an entrepreneurial mindset, you can exhibit a natural curiosity to develop answers to questions and understand why one way could be better than another.
Authentic Relationships - Care deeply for others, but be willing to challenge them directly to be the best version of themselves, while also embracing constructive feedback as an opportunity to grow.
Accountability - Produce a product that you're proud of, but know your own limitations. Trust in your coworkers' abilities and the reliability of others.
Teach Others to Fish - Share knowledge while being a thoughtful communicator. Be patient, understanding, and aware that everyone may not be as capable as you are.
Thoughtful Communication - Communication should strive to be appropriately delivered, timely, thorough, and solutions-focused.
What You'll Do
As a valued member of our team, you will be tasked with providing accounting services to our client base. Duties will include, but are not limited to:
Managing and executing the month-end close process for our clients to produce complete, accurate, and timely financial statements
Collaborating with staff resources to ensure continuity of the day to day accounting tasks for clients
Provide commentary on the monthly financial performance of clients and prepare reporting packages for management review
Analyze budget to actuals performance and identify key drivers of account variances
Assist in the development and maintenance of basic cash flow models and other financial forecasts
Assisting in the onboarding of new clients and developing core accounting processes to satisfy their accounting needs at their current and future business lifecycle

Perks
A perk we like to highlight is work life balance. We recognize this is an industry with a reputation for spending long hours at the office, and we try to do things a little differently. Firstly, we encourage our team to work from where they work best, whether that be at home or in our Chicago office. While we may request in office meetings from time to time, we encourage our team to control where and how they work. Additionally, we strive to provide each team member with a reasonable workload. Based on internal surveys, during the off-season, employees typically work an average 40 hours per week. We recognize that balance shifts during busy seasons, and while dedication is crucial, we strive to maintain a healthy equilibrium. Even during peak periods, employees typically average 50-55 hours per week. We believe that a harmonious work-life balance not only enhances individual satisfaction but also contributes to a thriving and motivated workforce.
Other perks include:
Casual dress
Competitive compensation and benefits package, including profit sharing bonuses
Autonomy of work and ability to grow quickly within the company
A company culture that places emphasis on individual career goals
Opportunity to work on a variety of innovative clients in emerging industries
Compensation
This position is for immediate hire, paid commensurate with the candidate's experience. The salary range for this position is $75-110k. The position also includes benefit offerings such as medical, dental, vision, short- and long-term disability, and commuter benefits.
