About Us
Burkland's core purpose is to Accelerate Dreams.
So often, turning dreams into reality helps change the world.
We thrive at the forefront of this transformation.
Startups desire our professionals — they are the best in the business.
Startups seek our content — we are an industry thought leader.
Startups trust our expertise, so founders can focus on their companies, products, and value-add.
As a part of our demonstrated value, our clients raised over $1B just last year.
At Burkland, we lead with our Core Purpose.
We do this for both our clients and our employees.
We believe that leaning on our Core Values (Fresh Perspectives, Exponential Value, Empathy, Trusted Partner) will lead to happy clients and happy employees.
We are a remote-first company with over 170 incredible team members, more than 750 clients, and a commitment to Accelerating Dreams.
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 SaaS startups 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.
You are an expert collaborator and enjoy working with others.
You possess a strong working knowledge of a variety of software and enjoy learning how to navigate through new software.
