The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  ScaleForward is hiring a Senior Financial Analyst in Washington, DC.

• Role description

  Keep ScaleForward financially healthy as a Senior Financial Analyst responsible for accuracy across every ledger. Where most finance jobs cap your reach, this ScaleForward one in Washington pays $126,000 - $195,000 and widens it the longer you stay.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Implement and document internal controls to safeguard company assets
  • Stand up the Hyperion close calendar and hold every owner to it
  • Support the Senior Financial Analyst in modeling pricing, margins, and unit economics
  • Develop cash flow models and monitor liquidity for the Washington, DC team
  • Field the scrappy ad-hoc analysis the CFO needs before Monday
  • Own the $126,000 - $195,000 compensation accrual and the math behind every line
  • Model the runway so ScaleForward always knows its next funding date

  What You'll Bring

  • Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
  • Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
  • A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
  • Meticulous attention to detail across every deliverable
  • Demonstrated knack for making the heads-down-and-happy feel manageable
  • Storytelling instincts that turn data into a decision
  • Comfort with the internship cadence of a Washington-based operation

  Inside ScaleForward's Washington headquarters, an innovative team treats every Internal Audit bug like a personal insult worth fixing tonight. Ownership runs deep here: you'll own outcomes, not just tasks, from your first week as a Senior Financial Analyst.

  Step in at $126,000 - $195,000, climb with structured growth, lean on a mentor, and take the flexibility ScaleForward is genuinely proud of.
