Skills
Must have
- High agency and a bias for action. You'd rather ship a good answer today than a perfect one next week, and you know which situations call for which.
- Comfortable being the only finance person in the room, and honest about when you need a second set of eyes.
- A clear communicator who can explain a flux to the CEO, a payment term to a salesperson, and a rev rec judgment to an auditor.
- Curious about how the business actually works, not just how it's booked.
- Someone who owns mistakes, extends grace, and shows up as the same person every day. That's who we are.
Nice to have
- Experience at Big 4, high-growth startup, management consulting, or investment banking.
- CPA (active or license applicant).
- SaaS or marketplace experience, especially with deferred revenue, points or stored value, or multi-party revenue.

FRINGE · REMOTE (US), OFFICE IN RICHMOND, VA · FULL-TIME
Accounting Operations ManagerAbout Fringe
Fringe is a fast-growing HR technology company based in Virginia. Founded in late 2018, Fringe is the first ever platform for personalized lifestyle benefits. We are a relentlessly people-focused group revolutionizing the way employers care for their people in the benefits space. We're a supportive, down-to-earth team, fully committed to the belief that relationships fuel outstanding client experience.
We built Fringe to give companies a better way to show love and care to their people. Because we believe it's the people who really matter. Companies exist because of the products and services they offer, but we believe the people within them should come first. At Fringe, this is the way we live.
Practically, this means we hire people who care about their teammates just as much as (if not more than) themselves. We hire people who are genuine, humble, willing to learn, ready to teach, able to adapt, flex, collaborate, celebrate each other, win together and lose together.
We're a startup, and that means we must be a courageous group. We solve problems all day, but we also mess up sometimes. We extend grace to each other, and we try again. We aren't looking for perfect people. We're looking for people who own their faults, play to their strengths, and have the courage to simply be the same person all the time.
If that doesn't sound like your cup of cold brew, no hard feelings. But that's exactly who we are and what you can expect when you work at Fringe.
About the role
Fringe's employee experience platform combines a B2B model with a B2B2C marketplace. Employers pay us a subscription and fund lifestyle benefits, swag, recognition, and gifting for their people. Employees spend those dollars as points in our marketplace across hundreds of vendors. We pay the vendors. That means we run a SaaS business and a marketplace at the same time, with deferred revenue, points liabilities, and a cohort of channel partners layered on top. If you find that combination energizing rather than intimidating, keep reading.
You'll be the in-house finance and accounting leader at Fringe and will take over a well-built set of documented, repeatable close processes. You will own the monthly close and everything that comes out of it, run our financial operations end to end, and be the person everyone at Fringe comes to with a finance question. You'll report to the COO and work closely with Operations and Product.
This is a role for a professional who wants to jump into a startup environment and own a whole function. It is a lot of hats and it is a rare amount of scope, ownership, and visibility..
