Davison Low LLC Hiring for Associate Job at Remote Full Time

BACKGROUND: Davison Low LLC serves as an outsourced “internal” finance and accounting team, primarily for venture-capital-backed start up companies. We do exactly what an internal finance and accounting team does, but on a remote and outsourced basis. One of our strengths is our fully-integrated approach to the work – not only integrated with our clients’ internal teams, but also integrated in the way that we approach the full spectrum of financial operations. For example, when we design a chart of accounts for a GL, the needs of reporting to management and financial modelling, budgeting and key metrics tracking are just as important to us as GAAP accounting – we believe all those systems and all those inputs and outputs must work together efficiently. Our clients have become public companies, have had successful exits through a sale, have bought and integrated other companies, and have regularly achieved various types of equity and debt financings. Our founders have worn the CFO or VP of finance “hat” multiple times, have been part of major successful exits, numerous financing rounds, and have big-four accounting experience.

BASIC RESPONSIBILITIES: You will be responsible for day-to-day accounting activities at one or more fast-moving start up companies, with easily-accessible support and training from Senior Associates and Partners.

LEARNING: You will learn the latest efficient methods, learn all about finance and accounting at various start up companies, and learn from experienced mentors. In addition, we will learn from your experiences and benefit from your ideas. You will have opportunities to take part in more and more critical and complicated aspects of what we do, as you gain experience.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE: Successful candidates will be eligible to work as an employee in the United States, will have relevant experience in accounting/finance, ideally some startup company experience, and will be eager to take on responsibility, “get your hands dirty” and get work done promptly and efficiently to make our clients’ businesses successful. Strong experience and/or demonstrated aptitude for Quickbooks and Excel, deep interest in business and accounting, strong communications skills, and high ethical standards, are a must.

WORK HOURS & TIME ZONES: We generally need to be available and very responsive for our clients on email, and sometimes Slack, and sometimes video conferences, during US east-coast and/or west-coast business hours, but because we do all of our work remotely, you will likely have more flexibility than you would have in other jobs. We solve problems, get results, work efficiently and we please and delight our clients – but we don’t work for the sake of work. On the other hand, when we have deadlines or special client needs, we respond quickly and accurately and we do whatever it takes to help our clients be successful.

WORK TOOLS & WORK ENVIRONMENT: You will be supplied with high-end computer equipment, much better than you will get in almost any other job, but you are responsible for (i) maintaining a work area (presumably in your home) where you can work comfortably without distraction and be available for video conferences and other communications and (ii) providing reliable, very high speed internet service that you will use in your work location.

CULTURE: We work as a team, but we also work as part of our clients’ teams, and we are very responsive to the needs of our clients. We’re very self-motivated, pragmatic and focused. We take a lot of pride in our work. Each and every piece of work we do is a delivery on our overall promise to clients that we are accurate, helpful, efficient, understand our clients’ businesses, and have high ethical standards. We don’t have a lot of rules, meetings and red tape. We share a deep interest in finance, accounting, financial modelling, financial and operational metrics, start up companies, and solving business problems. You could say we are business/finance/accounting/Excel geeks, who also take responsibility for results.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS: Part of your compensation will likely be a base salary and part will likely be a generous bonus plan. We want you to have the opportunity to earn above-market compensation, and to have opportunities for your compensation to grow over your tenure with our team. You will be paid on a W-2 basis via our PEO Justworks. We offer several medical, dental, and vision benefits plans via Justworks, with the company paying a portion of the medical plan.
