Want to help us help others? We’re hiring! 

GoFundMe is the world’s most powerful community for good, dedicated to helping people help each other. By uniting individuals and nonprofits in one place, GoFundMe makes it easy and safe for people to ask for help and support causes—for themselves and each other. Together, our community has raised more than $40 billion since 2010.

We're looking for a Staff Data Analyst, Accounting to own the analytical foundation for Accounting and Finance at GoFundMe. This is a domain ownership role - you will be the single point of accountability for how financial data is understood, reported, and improved across Accounting, Finance, and Payments. You'll work closely with Accounting and Finance leadership, partner with Data Engineering to ensure data pipelines meet analytical and audit requirements, and continuously sharpen the quality and depth of financial reporting. Accounting will define priorities and business requirements; you will own how those are translated into scalable data models, automation, and reporting.

If you're someone who gets energized by owning a domain deeply, building rigorous processes, and making financial data genuinely trustworthy at scale then this role is for you.

Candidates considered for this role will be located in the San Francisco Bay Area. There will be an in-office requirement of 3x a week.

The Job

• Own the financial analytics domain Be the go-to analytical authority for Accounting and Finance. Define what questions matter, what data answers them, and what rigor is required to trust the outputs. Own this layer end to end, ensuring reporting is traceable to source systems and defensible in audit scenarios.
• Build automation to make Accounting faster and more accurate Turn prioritized workflows into scalable, automated solutions that reduce manual work and increase accuracy. 
• Drive financial reporting and audit readiness Build and maintain reporting that is reproducible, traceable, and audit-ready. Ensure that financial outputs can stand up to scrutiny without requiring Accounting to manually validate underlying data. As GoFundMe scales toward enterprise maturity, you will be a core part of that readiness.
• Partner with Data Engineering on pipeline requirements Translate Accounting and Finance needs into clear data requirements. Guide Data Engineering on what needs to be built, ensure pipelines support completeness, accuracy, and reconciliation at the transaction level,and then own the analytical layer that sits on top.
• Continuously improve financial insights This isn't a "build it and hand it off" role. You'll regularly identify gaps in reporting coverage, surface anomalies in financial data, and proactively bring new analyses to Accounting and Finance leadership. Think about what we don't know yet.
• Manage stakeholders across functions Work independently across Accounting, Finance, Payments, and Data Engineering without needing significant handholding. Translate between what business teams need and what data teams can build. Communicate findings clearly to executive audiences.
• Shape data standards for financial reporting Establish best practices for how financial data is modeled, documented, and validated. Elevate self-service capabilities so Accounting and Finance teams can move faster with confidence.
• Support transaction ledger accuracy and compliance Partner with Accounting and Engineering to ensure accurate reporting and reconciliation of the internal transaction ledger. Validate data completeness and integrity at the transaction level, support regulatory reporting requirements, and build monitoring that surfaces exceptions before they become compliance issues.
• Own data integrity between source systems and NetSuite Monitor pipelines for completeness and accuracy, investigate reconciliation breaks, and resolve root causes independently. If the data doesn't tie, you find out why and fix it.

You

Experience & Education

• 8+ years of experience in data analytics, financial analytics, or a related quantitative role
• Background in finance, fintech, or banking. You understand how financial data flows, what accounting teams actually need, and how to operate in environments where accuracy is non-negotiable
• Experience working with transaction-level financial data and reconciliation processes

• Proficiency in Python or similar for analytical workflows is a plus
• Strong data visualization and BI skills (Looker preferred); able to build dashboards that finance teams actually use
• Familiarity with financial systems (NetSuite, Stripe, Adyen, or similar) is a plus

Leadership & Collaboration

• Operates independently - you manage relationships, set priorities, and drive outcomes without waiting to be told what to do
• Strong communicator - you are able to present complex findings clearly to executive audiences and build trust with non-technical stakeholders
• Process-oriented - you build things that are repeatable, documented, and don't depend on you or others remembering how they work
• Cross-departmental collaboration - you are able to operate with Accounting-led priorities while partnering with Data and Engineering

Preferred

• Previous experience in FinTech, Payments, or Accounting data environments
• Familiarity with GAAP, revenue recognition, and financial close processes
• Experience supporting or preparing for SOX compliance, IPO readiness, or external audits
• Experience with payments domain concepts - transaction flows, chargebacks, reconciliation, and ideally transaction ledger systems or money transmission compliance (BSA, state MTL requirements) - is a strong plus
• Experience translating finance team requirements into data engineering specifications
