Who are we and what are we looking for?

Vestwell is disrupting the 401k and retirement space with digitization and technology. As we continue to grow we are looking for a creative problem solver for our finance team to perform some of the most critical functions that allow Vestwell to scale. We are looking for an experienced Billing Specialist & Revenue Accountant to be responsible for all aspects of revenue and billing, revenue recognition, cost of goods sold recognition, invoice preparation, accounts receivable maintenance & oversight as well as reporting & oversight of our Financial Advisor partners.

We’re a startup so a self-starter comes first and foremost.  You are someone who will dive into whatever challenge is placed in front of you and you’re also willing to help those around you.  Our finance team interacts and collaborates extensively with teams across sales, marketing, operations, compliance, legal, people and all other areas of Vestwell. As such, the ability to help define and implement processes for cross-team collaboration is important. Additionally, as one of the few client-facing roles on the finance team, you are someone who is proactively engaging and building rapport with our clients.  We believe that every touchpoint during the client’s life cycle should be a positive and helpful experience, even when we are sending an invoice!
