Job Description

Remote Financial Analyst – North Carolina

💡 Ever Wondered What Happens When a Number Changes Everything?

Here, one spreadsheet cell can spark a new project or put the brakes on a costly mistake. Most days, your financial sense won’t vanish in a monthly report; it’ll be the reason a team leader sighs with relief—or gets a shot of confidence. Sometimes, you’ll be the skeptic in the Zoom, other times the cheerleader who finds funds for something ambitious. If you like conversations that get to “the why,” you’ll fit right in.

🌟 Why This Isn’t Finance in a Silo

The truth is, nobody here treats finance like background noise. People want to know what you think, not just what the ledger says. Imagine being the person whose advice gets texted about at 8 pm, not because there’s an emergency, but because you’ve earned that trust. You’ll connect dots nobody else sees, and you’ll get to explain things in plain talk, not slides or jargon.

What does that actually look like? Maybe you’re the reason we pivot our plans right before launch day. Or you find a strange blip in a vendor invoice and save thousands. Sometimes it’s a tough call; you’ll have to push back, challenge, or ask, “Have we thought this through?” People respect that around here. We’d rather slow down than fix big mistakes later.

🧭 A Day in the Life (It’s Rarely the Same Twice)

🔍 Start your day scanning through last week’s numbers—then your Slack pings with a question from product: “Can we afford this feature?”
💬 Next, a quick check-in on Zoom with ops. Someone’s worried about expenses in Q3. You discuss it, calm your nerves, and sketch a plan.
📈 It’s heads-down time, so you put on headphones and build a model that shows what would really happen if we hired another engineer right now.
🤝 Maybe you jump into a project huddle. Engineers talk code, marketing talks campaigns. You bring them back to earth with a simple, “Here’s how the money works.”
🎯 You flag a pattern in spending. It isn’t a crisis—yet—but you call it out so we’re ready.
📝 A teammate asks if you can rework the dashboard. You try a new approach. This time, folks actually use it.
🚀 Once a month, you play devil’s advocate on a new initiative: “Are we guessing, or do we really have the numbers?”
🕵️‍♂️ Someone from another team calls for help. Turns out, they’re launching something new, and your input might make the difference between success and a mess.

💻 What “Remote” Means (It’s Not Just a Location)

Forget the usual rules. Nobody cares if you work from your front porch, a backyard in Raleigh, or the mountains near Asheville—if you’re in North Carolina, you’re good. Some of us start early and run, while others log in late after dropping off their kids at school. No two days are identical, and that’s okay.

🏠 You’ll find your groove: kitchen table, favorite chair, sometimes even outside with the birds. We’re not tracking logins; we’re looking for your best work.
🔗 Zoom calls when needed, but we avoid meetings just for the sake of it. More Slack, fewer video calls. Questions get answered fast, with no endless waiting.
🧑‍💻 Most updates are async. You won’t have to “look busy.” We trust you to chase clarity, not clock hours.
🔄 If you need half a day to solve a tricky problem, you get it. No guilt trips for blocking your calendar.

Life is real here—dogs bark, kids pop in, and sometimes you’re making coffee during a call. That’s normal. The main thing is, we support each other and get the work done.

🛠️ What You’ll Use—and What We Value

📊 Excel isn’t just a tool; it’s where you work magic. But if you love Tableau, Power BI, or Google Data Studio, that’s a bonus. Build dashboards people want to share.
🔒 Sometimes you’re the vault—trusted with news that hasn’t gone public yet. We count on your integrity.
🎙️ Communication is key. Perhaps you could leave a video walk-through or share a Loom link instead of a lengthy six-paragraph email.
🤓 You love the little details, but you never lose sight of the big picture. Maybe you spot a $27 charge that’s off, or maybe you realize our ad budget drifted up 12% this quarter.
📚 A bachelor’s in finance, accounting, or business helps. Got an MBA or CPA? Great, but it’s not required.
🧩 You don’t mind saying, “I don’t know, but I’ll find out.” Curiosity beats perfection every time.
📅 You’ve built budgets, tracked actuals, and done scenario planning. You know things go sideways. You’re good with change.

🚀 What Growth Looks Like Here

You won’t be boxed in. Here, you’ll:

🌱 See your ideas actually used. Last month, someone flagged a strange trend in our data—now, we do things differently.
🤝 Get pulled into real decisions. People want your take, not just your numbers.
🔄 Focus on fewer things, do them well. When priorities shift, you’ll have a say.
🎓 Maybe you mentor someone who’s new to finance. Or maybe you take a course we pay for.
💬 We laugh, share mistakes, and never pretend things are perfect. We admit when we blow a forecast, fix it, and move on.

💵 Compensation & Perks

💰 $86,130 annual salary, because good work deserves fair pay.
🎁 Full suite of health, dental, and vision. 401k. Wellness support.
🏖️ Generous PTO and holidays. We actually want you to use them.
🏡 Home office stipend if you need a new chair or a second screen.
📚 Budget for learning—certifications, classes, or books.

🏆 What “Winning” Means Here

You’ll know you’re winning when:

📉 People ask for your opinion before they make a move, not after a mess.
📣 You’re not just “the finance person”—you’re the go-to for tough calls.
👥 Your work makes life easier for someone else. Maybe it’s a new tool or a new way of tracking spend.
🌟 You spot trouble before it snowballs, and you speak up.
📊 When things go right, you see your work reflected in results.

🚦 Sound Like You?

If you’re done with jobs where finance is an afterthought, and you want your work to ripple through real decisions, this is your spot. Show up curious, ready to help, and unafraid to challenge what doesn’t add up.

Tell us what you’d do first. Or what you’d want to change. Let’s talk, for real—not just about numbers, but about building something better.

Remote opportunity with global reach — applications are welcome from candidates in any country.
