Mission Asset Fund (MAF) is Hiring an Accounting Specialist
https://missionassetfund.recruiterbox.com/jobs/fk0fw7p/
Mission Asset Fund (MAF) is a groundbreaking non-profit on a mission to create a fair financial marketplace for hardworking families. MAF is a nationwide leader in building and expanding innovative and successful asset-building strategies. Our award-winning social loan models are building pathways out of the financial shadows for low-income individuals across the U.S.A hybrid between a tech start-up and a nonprofit, MAF is a great place to work for either nonprofit or for-profit professionals who are interested in tech for social good.
Our Culture
Located in a vibrant and culturally diverse neighborhood in San Francisco, MAF attracts bright and talented people who are driven to create sustainable, scalable social change. As a nonprofit and tech startup, we attract individuals who like to jump in with both feet and who aren’t afraid of learning how to do better. With an open office environment, collaboration and teamwork is more than just a value - it’s a way of life. Hailing from many different cultural and professional backgrounds, we are drawn together by a passion for embracing technology and creativity to make the world a better place for hardworking families.
The Opportunity
In an exciting period of growth, MAF is scaling its programs throughout the nation through a network of partner nonprofits. To make this possible, we have developed a Salesforce-based platform that automates the intake process, loan servicing functions, partner and borrower communications, data management, and finance/back-office procedures. By consolidating and automating many of our key operations, the social loan platform will allow MAF to dramatically increase the efficacy and reach of its programs. The Accounting Specialist, one of two, will oversee and maintain the core of this platform: the engine that allows us to manage the organization’s accounting and financials, initiate ACH transactions, and track data related to our loan and revenue subledgers. This is a great role for a tech-savvy finance wizard who wants to support an organization with a strong social justice mission.
The Role
As one of MAF’s Accounting Specialists, you will help oversee and implement the financial and loan servicing infrastructure needed to support substantial growth over the next five to 10 years. You will ensure a smooth operation of the day-to-day financial and loan servicing procedures, making it possible for clients to be served effectively; for staff members to work efficiently; for technology systems to produce accurate information; and for MAF to comply with government and donor requirements. Your day-to-day work will be very hands-on and you’ll find yourself knee-deep in the organization’s key data, supporting the development of the organization’s financial management needs. Part of a small and mighty staff, you will work closely with programs, operations, strategy, development, technology and other teams. Apply for this role if you’re interested in deepening your financial, accounting, and data management expertise in a tech-forward environment, while supporting an organization with a strong social justice mission.
