Description

You’ve built a strong foundation in accounting. Now step into more leadership.
 

Marketing for Change Co. is an independent national advertising firm propelled by behavioral science and focused on social change. We are seeking a Senior Financial Analyst / Manager who can own core accounting operations, strengthen financial systems, and support a growing team with clarity and consistency.

This is a senior level role for someone who is confident operating independently, improving processes, and helping translate financial data into decisions that support agency-wide work. While the position is initially part-time, there is potential for it to expand into a full-time role for the right person. We also see a future pathway for this position to grow into a Controller role as the agency continues to evolve.
 

Why This Role Matters

We believe financial clarity strengthens everything we do. As Senior Financial Analyst / Manager, you will oversee key accounting workflows and help ensure the accuracy, consistency and usability of financial information across the agency. Your work supports leadership in making informed decisions while keeping day-to-day operations running smoothly.
 

What You’ll Do

  • Oversee monthly close processes and ensure accuracy across reconciliations, reporting and financial outputs
  • Own and refine core accounting workflows including AP, AR, invoicing and project financial tracking
  • Review and support project setup and financial structure in systems such as Unanet
  • Develop and maintain reporting that supports leadership visibility into financial performance and KPIs
  • Partner with leadership on budgeting, forecasting and audit preparation
  • Identify and implement improvements to accounting processes and internal controls
  • Serve as a point of escalation for accounting questions and ensure consistency in financial practices
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure financial accuracy across projects and client work
  • Support compliance and documentation requirements across accounting and operational processes
  • Other general accounting and finance duties as assigned

What We Are Seeking

  • Experience managing accounting operations with a high degree of independence.
  • Strong knowledge of project-based accounting and standard accounting principles, including month-end close processes.
  • Experience working in complex, cross-functional environments with multiple stakeholders.
  • Comfort improving and standardizing financial workflows and systems.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to translate financial information clearly to non-finance partners.
  • Experience with accounting systems and reporting tools, ideally including Unanet or similar platforms.
  • Ability to balance hands-on accounting work with process improvement and oversight responsibilities.
  • Strong judgment, organization, and attention to detail in fast-moving environments.

Requirements

Job Type: Part-time, with potential to expand into a full-time role based on agency needs and candidate fit.

Salary Range: Salary will be commensurate with experience, with an expected range between $55,000 - $95,000 per year for a full-time equivalent role. Compensation for part-time arrangements will be prorated based on schedule and scope.

About Marketing for Change

We are an advertising agency that leverages the power of social psychology, neuroscience and behavioral economics to advance social causes. Founded in 2005, Marketing for Change helps foundations, nonprofits, governments and companies “do good better.” 

Our 30-plus team includes copywriters, filmmakers, designers, researchers, developers and strategists — not to mention musicians, artists, podcasters, kayakers, and mountaineers. Because that part of life is just as important as work. Our work hubs are located in Orlando and just outside Washington, DC, and we very much prefer to hire people willing to locate in those areas. We are mostly a hybrid workforce with staff working together in-person at least one day a week because we value the fun and collaboration that allows.

Some of the perks:

  • We care about each other. We check in. We advocate and cover for each other. We cheer each other on. And we like to hang out.
  • We offer a comprehensive benefits package including vacation, sick and holiday leave, 401(k) matching contributions, and paid parental leave. We offer a range of health plans including PPO and HSA healthcare, as well as dental, disability and life insurance.
  • We are a deliberately developmental workplace. That means we will help you develop and pursue professional goals that match your life goals and purpose.
  • We prioritize balance and flexibility. We are at our desks most days for 8 hours, not 10. We are open to schedule adjustments and flexible schedules.
  • We are a flat organization. Everyone’s ideas are valued. Anyone can spearhead a new company initiative or make change.
  • We care about social change. We show up each day as part of a fun and friendly work culture to do inspiring work that makes the world a better place.
