Finance & Ops Associate - Portfolio Companies

As a Finance & Ops Associate, you'll be responsible for managing key treasury tasks, processing payroll, tracking cash flow, and maintaining up-to-date funding records. Your duties will also include preparing monthly financial summaries and assisting with compliance and organizational tasks for investor updates.

We're looking for candidates with prior experience in finance, operations, or administrative roles, preferably within startups or lean environments. Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work remotely are crucial. Familiarity with spreadsheets and basic DeFi tools is a plus but not mandatory.

Remote work at our company means enjoying flexibility while taking ownership of your tasks. You'll be interacting through asynchronous updates and collaboration tools while remaining accountable for your contributions to both finance and operational tasks.

At our company, we value growth and provide training and development opportunities to enhance your skills. You can also participate in offsite events across the world, creating avenues for networking and learning.

Alongside unlimited paid time off—including vacation, sick days, and public holidays—we offer generous token allocations, professional development opportunities, and a supportive work environment designed to stimulate both personal and professional growth.

It’s important to prioritize tasks based on urgency and impact. I create a daily or weekly schedule to keep track of my responsibilities, ensuring that I stay organized and meet deadlines effectively.

In previous roles, I tracked cash inflows and outflows meticulously, maintained funding records, and ensured transparency in reporting cash flow to stakeholders, which helped the team make informed financial decisions.

I've processed payroll in my previous positions by ensuring accurate employee data input, adhering to deadlines, and resolving discrepancies promptly. I focus on thorough checks to ensure accuracy and compliance.

I recently prepared a monthly financial summary highlighting key expenditure areas, which provided the management team with insights to optimize budget allocation, leading to a 15% reduction in unnecessary expenses.

I often use spreadsheets for tracking expenses and budgets, along with finance management tools like QuickBooks or equivalent, which help streamline financial record-keeping and data retrieval.

Staying updated with the latest regulations is key. I regularly review our financial procedures and work closely with compliance teams to ensure all our operations align with legal standards.

During a recent audit, I helped compile necessary documentation, categorized expenses, and created a checklist that ensured we're compliant with all financial disclosures. This organized approach simplified the audit process.

I utilize project management tools to track my tasks, establish regular reminders, and communicate with team members for updates to keep everything in sync and organized.

I would begin by double-checking the payment records against invoices, communicating with the vendor to understand their perspective, and promptly resolving the issue while keeping all stakeholders informed.

Attention to detail is paramount for this role. It ensures accuracy in all financial transactions and reports, ultimately contributing to effective financial management and decision-making.
