Staff Accountant

Convergent Research is a non-profit science studio best known for pioneering the Focused Research Organization (FRO): a startup-style team built to tackle one ambitious scientific problem that academia and industry can’t. We’re launching moonshot science projects which may change the trajectory of scientific progress. Today we support 14 FROs and counting across the US, the UK and Chile, with an annual budget of $75 million and growing. Large-scale brain mapping, climate measurement and software for math all have something in common: they each need a nonprofit legal entity, payroll providers, health benefits, boards, contracts, office space, press releases, websites… For every FRO we support, Convergent provides the backend infrastructure that lets them move fast.   About the Role As a Staff Accountant, you are a fully qualified accountant who owns the books across Convergent, its disregarded entities and its subsidiaries in the US and UK. You will do the hands-on work end to end: record journal entries, revenue and intercompany activity, reconcile accounts, maintain schedules and keep us audit-ready, with review from the Finance & Accounting Managers and the Controller. Reporting to the Controller, you will work independently, with team review at key points, and grow your expertise alongside a team of experienced accountants. This is a fully remote position with domestic travel required quarterly for team and organizational onsites, and as needed.
