Non-profit • Science • Technology

Convergent Research is a nonprofit organization that supports the creation and operation of Focused Research Organizations (FROs). These are new types of scientific startups dedicated to tackling large-scale, coordinated projects in science and technology. The organization aims to produce high-impact public goods and drive forward technically ambitious projects led by teams of scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs. Convergent Research operates with a focus on achieving pre-specified, quantifiable technical milestones within finite-duration projects. It is supported by significant funding from notable entities, including investment by influential figures in the science and tech communities.

📋 Description

• Own the close. You oversee monthly reconciliation and close across your FROs — and at the consolidated level, covering treasury, PR/AR/AP, payroll, and other liabilities. • Keep grant reporting on track. You provide financial oversight for grants and maintain detailed financial reports for FROs and government entities. • Turn numbers into insight. As first line reviewer of monthly financial reports, you review monthly financials for relevancy, consistency, and completeness — and advocate for changes that make reports actually useful for decision-making. • Get audit ready. You assist with audit processes– including preparing schedules and supporting 990 filings. • Bring the whole team along. You make financial insights accessible and actionable — whether you're talking to a scientist, an engineer, or a program lead. • Strengthen systems and processes. You help improve workflows, maintain SOPs, and keep internal controls tight.

🎯 Requirements

• A nonprofit accounting pro. You understand nonprofit accounting principles, including fund accounting, restricted vs. unrestricted donations, and government grants. You enjoy solving complex reconciliation challenges and exercise a passion for ensuring financial accuracy. • Audit-seasoned. You have participated in quite a few audits (and single audits) and are comfortable with 990s. • Federal grants fluent. You understand federal grant compliance. You have managed a few federal grants in your time and speak of federal agencies by their acronyms. • Pleasantly detail-obsessed. You sweat the details, but don’t get hung up on immaterial ones. You know when it’s appropriate to push back for compliance or GAAP sake. • Systems-savvy. You enjoy working with multiple systems and have a firm grasp of accounting systems. You know when to ask for systems help too! • A natural collaborator. You can translate a complex journal entry into plain English for a non-finance colleague without breaking a sweat.

🏖️ Benefits

• A rare chance to build institutional architecture for frontier science and work with some of the smartest and most talented experts from different fields • Competitive Salary: The salary range for this role is $111,000 - 159,000 Convergent uses a consistent compensation philosophy across all roles. We benchmark salaries to San Francisco market data and aim for the grade midpoint, which for this role is approximately $159,000. We then apply a geographic adjustment if an employee is located outside of SF, NYC, or Boston, For example, in Denver, CO the midpoint for this role would be around $135k, and in Eugene, OR it would be $119k. We also maintain a minimum of 70% of the SF midpoint, which is reflected in the range floor. This structure helps us keep pay transparent, consistent, and equitable across locations while reflecting local market conditions. • Up to a 6% 401k match because future-you deserves comfort • Top-tier medical, dental, and vision insurance—majority of options are fully covered for you and your dependents. Stay healthy, my friend • Company-paid life insurance, AD&D, long- and short-term disability insurance, as well as voluntary supplemental insurance options • 19 holidays (including a full week off at the end of the year—yes, we enforce it) • 3 weeks PTO with tenure increases, with separate allotments for sick and parental leave • Generous fertility benefits and childcare reimbursement—because tiny humans are a big deal • Education and professional development benefits • Wellness allowance for fitness and wellness activities (treat yourself to climbing shoes or Calm.com—no judgment) • 3x/year offsite team retreats and additional opportunities to meet your teammates in person
