FP&A / Accounting Analyst (QuickBooks) - Hybrid (Washington, DC)
Compensation: $85K-$110K base + 10% bonus
Schedule: Hybrid - (Dupont Circle), Remote Monday/Wednesday/Friday
The Opportunity
A fastgrowing AI/dataanalytics company in the healthcare ecosystem is hiring a handson finance professional to partner directly with the CFO. This is a highvisibility role that blends FP&A (forecasting, reporting, variance analysis) with monthend close support and real operational finance responsibilities.
You will serve as the bridge between the CFO and an outsourced accounting team-helping ensure clean closes, improved reporting, and decisionready insights as the company scales.
Responsibilities
  • Own and enhance reporting rhythms: forecasting, budgeting support, variance analysis, and KPI tracking
  • Support month-end close: reconciliations, coordination with outsourced accounting, deliverables tracking, and ensuring accurate reporting
  • Improve finance processes and systems alongside the CFO (automation/efficiency mindset is a plus)
  • Build dashboards and leadership-ready materials, including exposure to Board and executive reporting
What We're Looking For
  • 2-6 years of experience across FP&A, financial analysis, and accounting (close, reconciliations, financial statements)
  • Hands-on QuickBooks experience (Bill.com exposure is a plus)
  • Strong Excel skills and comfort operating in a lean, fast-moving environment
  • Collaborative, curious, and eager-to-learn mindset-culture fit matters
Why This Role
  • Direct partnership with a highly respected CFO focused on building efficient systems and processes
  • A broad, varied scope: analysis + close + process improvement
  • A consistent, flexible hybrid schedule (Tues/Thurs in-office)
