The Role

We are looking for a dynamic + strategic teammate at Burkland. If you have a background in accounting and a passion for helping venture-backed consumer startups in the Clean Energy Industry succeed, Burkland is a wonderful fit for you!

Your Typical, Atypical, Day

• This role has variety at its core. From facilitating client meetings to reconciling accounts, no day will be a “typical day” (hence the typical, atypical day).

• You will be supporting our startup clients who need accounting help but may not have a need for an internal team at their growth stage (usually we work with Seed through Series C clients). So, there is always a lot of work to be done!

• You will be working in a fully remote capacity! So, whether you’re in pajama pants and a button-down or taking calls at the coffee shop down the street, you design where and how you work each day.

• You’ll be working with a variety of clients, so the ability to context shift, communicate, prioritize, and evaluate needs is the most important thing you’ll be doing in this role.

• You’ll have the opportunity to build robust accounting processes and systems for our clients. So understanding + embracing the agile and scrappy nature of startups is pretty much a must.

About You

• You have a degree or certification in business, accounting, finance, or something similar, or over 3 years of current experience in the field. Bonus points if those years are in a multi-client environment!

• You are a strong communicator, with impeccable written and verbal communication skills.

• You are detail-oriented and take pride in executing flawless work.

• You desire to exceed customer needs and response time.
