About Veridian

From day one, Veridian was built on one belief : communities deserve better. We replace silos and finger-pointing with one accountable partner across management, vendors, and tech. We favor clarity over complexity, own outcomes end-to-end, and put community first—every time.

The Role

We’re seeking a Finance Associate who turns messy inputs into clean, decision-ready financials. You’ll close the books, tame payables / receivables, reconcile cash without drama, and build lightweight controls that scale. If you love precision, automation, and translating numbers into “so what,” you’ll thrive here.

What You’ll Do

• Close without drama — Own month-end close (JEs, accruals / deferrals, prepaids, fixed assets; multi-entity) and deliver draft financials on a predictable cadence.
• Cash is king — Reconcile all bank / credit cards; maintain a rolling 13-week cash view; support light treasury (forecast vs. actual; short-term liquidity calls).
• AP that vendors love — Run intake → match → approval → payment with clean audit trails, approval thresholds, and on-time metrics.
• Revenue & AR hygiene — Invoice accurately, apply cash daily, manage aging with clear follow-ups; align credit / collections pathways with Ops & Legal.
• Make the data sing — Maintain COA integrity; define data standards / ownership across source systems; produce robust reporting (cash, P&L by entity / site, unit economics) with a narrative.
• Controls that scale — Implement practical policies (spend, approvals, reimbursements), permissions hygiene, and documentation that survives audits and change.
• Partner across the business — Model unit costs and margins by service line; pressure-test assumptions; surface trade-offs for leadership decisions.
• Own the tool curve — Learn unfamiliar platforms quickly; stand up v1 workflows, automations, and exports; formalize them into SOPs.

Success Looks Like (90-Day Outcomes)

30 days.

60-day aging down 35%; cash application same-day.

30 — Stabilize & Map

60 — Instrument & Improve

90 — Prove Lift and Lock the System

60-day AR by 35%; automate two workflows; produce a tidy PBC index (samples, controls).

You’ll Be Great Here If You…

Own outcomes; communicate with calm clarity; think in systems; translate numbers into action; embrace new tools and undefined spaces (you’ll write the spec when it doesn’t exist); and care about the places people live.
