Who we are

We're building a prayer and meditation app. One that is authentically Christian and Catholic, while at the same time a resource for anyone looking to grow deeper in a relationship with God. We believe that people are hungry for peace, and that there is no surer way to find it than by learning to sit in silence with Christ: “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” (Mt 11:28). 

Our goal is to build something truly great. Something that combines the beauty of the Church’s spirituality with world-class product and content execution.

We launched the app in December of 2018 and have been blown away with the incredible growth & traction. Hallow has been downloaded over 15 million times with over 250,000 5-star reviews. We're blessed to be backed by some of the best mission-driven investors in the world and are excited to build out the team to help a lot more folks grow closer to God.

We are a startup. We move quickly and take big swings. We are a small and fast moving team and each person is responsible for making an impact. It is hard work, but also deeply meaningful. We’d be honored & humbled if you’d consider joining us. 

TL;DR: We're growing quickly and looking to bring on a fast-moving Senior Accountant to help us support the best mission-driven startup in the world.

What You'll do

• Run Month-end Close: We’re expanding our accounting team and you will be a core part of the month-end close process. You will own our revenue recognition process. You’ll also be responsible for preparing or reviewing our balance sheet reconciliations, including deferred revenue, fixed assets, prepaid expenses, and accruals. 
• Management Reporting: You will support the finance team by owning our weekly KPI dashboards that provide insights for leadership, prepare slides for our quarterly board deck, and run ad-hoc reports for our leaders and business partners. 
• Support Core Financial Operations: You will review expense classification and improve automations in our spend management tool (Ramp) to streamline the accounting process and support financial analysis. You will be responsible for booking all journal entries, accruals, and adjustments for our U.S. GAAP accounting. You will own our payroll reconciliation process between our GL system and payroll systems.
• Drive Process Improvement: At a startup, things are always changing. You’ll have the opportunity to suggest and implement process improvements across our entire finance function as our business grows. You’ll also be a core part of implementing changes to our finance tech stack

• Mission: This work is incredibly humbling. Everyday we hear amazing stories and we get the pleasure of working on something that’s impacting lives. One of our favorite user quotes: “I hate quoting an old, overused cliche, but I’ve been very lost. And I think for the first time in a while I may be found.” 
• Ownership: You’ll be a key point person to ensure we perform the essential functions of a finance team - regular reporting and month-end close. 
• Growth: You’ll get to journey with a VC-backed Silicon Valley startup that is still growing extremely quickly. Every employee is a core team member who is expected to help build the company as a whole as we settle into a culture and continue to expand the team. 
• Flexibility: HQ will be in Chicago and we would love to have as many team members there as possible, but we are completely flexible on location within the United States.
• Comp: We will pay competitive market rates in terms of equity, cash, & benefits.

• Passion: First and foremost, we’re looking for someone excited and passionate about our mission. It makes it a lot more fun to actually care about what you’re working on!
• Flexibility and Adaptability: While the schedule is flexible, you will run the month-end close process and need to manage and prioritize multiple projects at once. We also will be implementing and replacing multiple systems - the ability to learn a new tool quickly is essential. 
• Experience: 2 years of accounting experience is a must, preferably with operational accounting and general ledger ownership experience. 
• Grit: A start-up is tough and we really care about what we’re doing. You'll be jumping into a role in a fast moving organization - perseverance and the ability to make progress independently will be critical.

We are honored that you'd consider joining the team and look forward to connecting with you.

Best,

Alex at Hallow
