Corporate Controller

The Corporate Controller is the senior accounting leader at Social Finance and the Chief Financial Officer’s closest partner in running the corporate finance function. You will own the integrity of our financial reporting, and you will lead the planning, budgeting, and analysis work that shapes how the organization deploys its resources.

This role is built for someone who has a strong technical accounting foundation and now wants to spend a substantial share of their time strategically leading and planning: building the budget, running the forecast, modeling scenarios, leading a team, and helping business and operational leaders make sharper decisions with better information. You will lead and manage a team of 4, oversee an annual operating budget of approximately $30 million across multiple entities and active donations and grants, recoverable grants, government awards, and sit on the firm’s Management Team.

• Own the month end and year end close, and work to shorten the close calendar without compromising accuracy
• Maintain accurate and timely accounting of revenues and expenditures across all lines of business
• Manage all accounts and financial reporting systems to ensure compliance with U.S. GAAP

• Oversee federal grants financial management, reporting, and compliance, including Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) requirements and the annual single audit
