Remote, comfortable working in US timezones

We are a climate action platform where you join climate communities to find your people, advance your climate learning, build a climate career, start a climate company, and more. We’re rapidly growing, and have raised a substantial seed round from climate investors worldwide. 

We are a global company. Albeit small, we already have employees in several countries worldwide, and our investor base is global. Given this environment, we're looking to bring on a Finance Manager who will not just own classic finance functions such accounting, FP&A, audit and finance strategy, but can also build and manage our multi-country employee ops. More generally, you’ll play an important role in designing new processes and taking on big challenges as our business grows.

About the role

  • Manage PEOs or other employee ops vendors in several countries

  • Build and manage company budget

  • Manage our outsourced accounting partner and monthly close

  • Manage annual audit and tax

  • Respond to investor reporting and diligence requests

The role reports to the Chief Business Officer, a former executive leader at several startups like Dashlane, Yext, etc. You’ll of course be working closely with everyone from the CEO to product to dev, etc.

What you’d bring

With such a wide variety of responsibilities, success in this role requires you to be curious, proactive, well-organized, and deliberate. Ideally, you’ll bring: 

  • A high level of self-starting even in the face of complex problems

  • Excellent ability to stay organized while handling several challenges at once

  • Superior analytical and communication skills with exceptional attention to detail

  • 3-5 years of experience in accounting and finance; experience working at an investment bank, Big 4 public accounting firm (audit or transaction advisory services), PE/VC, or finance at a high-growth startup preferred.

  • Strong understanding of US GAAP and financial standards and rules

  • At least a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, Accounting, or the like, and a record of exceptional academic achievement

  • Proficiency with SQL is a plus

In addition to the above, a few things that will be crucial for you to enjoy working at Terra.do:

  • An overwhelming passion for addressing and solving the various crises brought on by climate change

  • Working in a capital R remote environment: We're Hawaii to Hong Kong. There is no home base. Calling a meeting is highly non-trivial. This usually means fantastic documentation, written communication with your teammates, and follow-through. It also means *some* morning/night meetings... a pure 10am-7pm startup schedule is not going to work unf. That said, we recognize that this is a marathon and we keep odd hours to a core minimum.

  • Be deeply respectful of your co-workers, all of whom come from very different backgrounds, and be highly proactive about resolving issues in an above-board manner. There is no [beer after work/in-person board game night/name your replacement] to smooth things over!

Look forward to hearing from you.
