Find & Apply For Financial Analyst Jobs in Sandpoint, Idaho

Are you the person who actually enjoys making QuickBooks behave? Do unexplained balances bother you until you figure out where they came from? Can you run payroll without breaking a sweat, read a Balance Sheet without your eyes glazing over, and understand that a payroll liability is supposed to eventually go somewhere? If so, we should talk. Sandpoint Waldorf School is looking for a part-time Finance Coordinator to take ownership of the school's day-to-day financial operations. We're a small organization - approximately 75 tuition families and 36 employees - so this isn't corporate accounting. But it is real accounting, and we're looking for someone who knows what they're doing. You'll work with our bookkeeper and school leadership to keep the financial side of the school accurate, organized, compliant, and understandable. What you'll actually do... You'll own our monthly payroll process, including timecards, payroll review, federal and state reporting, employee deductions, benefits, retirement contributions, child-support payments and other payroll liabilities. You'll also manage tuition billing and accounts receivable, review and approve payables, oversee deposits and cash needs, help build the annual budget, coordinate tuition assistance, and review monthly financial results. And you'll spend plenty of time in QuickBooks Online. We don't just need someone who knows where the buttons are. We need someone who can look at an account balance and say, "That doesn't look right," and then figure out why. You'll also need to be comfortable reading and explaining a Profit & Loss statement, Balance Sheet and budget-to-actual report. You'll help translate the numbers into useful information for school leadership, our Finance Committee and Board. You might be our person if... You're a QuickBooks ninja. You've actually processed payroll - not just submitted timecards to someone else. You understand federal and state payroll filings and deadlines. You know how benefits, deductions, garnishments and child-support withholding should flow through payroll and the general ledger. You understand debits, credits, payroll liabilities and Balance Sheet accounts. You can read financial statements and recognize when something doesn't make sense. You're very good with Excel or Google Sheets. You're organized enough that deadlines don't sneak up on you. You're comfortable politely asking people for missing receipts, documentation or payments. Confidential financial information stays confidential with you. You'd rather investigate a $317 discrepancy than shrug and call it "close enough." What we're not looking for... We're not looking for someone whose accounting experience consists primarily of entering invoices or categorizing transactions. We're looking for someone who understands why a transaction is being recorded, where it belongs, and what effect it has on the financial statements. You don't necessarily need a CPA or accounting degree. Experience and demonstrated ability matter more to us than letters after your name.
