Administrative Finance Specialist
AltScore
What we’re looking for
AltScore is seeking a highly organized, methodical, and execution-oriented Administrative Finance Specialist to join our growing team. This role is key to ensuring on-time month-end closes, impeccable document control, and frictionless client/vendor onboarding and certifications. You will be the operational backbone of Finance, working closely with international teams (MX, EC, AR, US) to keep our processes predictable, auditable, and orderly.
At AltScore, we value a culture of growth and accountability. We are a meritocratic company where people are recognized for their impact. You will have the autonomy to propose improvements, standardize templates, and automate tasks, with room to grow professionally as we scale.
Responsibilities
- Lead the client and vendor onboarding strategy to ensure frictionless certifications/registrations, clear SLAs, and predictable activation times across multiple countries.
- Design the Accounts Payable control system to guarantee complete, audit-ready documentation and on-time disbursements.
- Improve the corporate cards and T&E program to ensure policy adherence and consistency: frameworks, education, monthly governance, and exception handling.
- Orchestrate month-end close readiness, aligning deliverables with external accounting firms and internal stakeholders, eliminating bottlenecks before the close.
- Build the financial “source of truth” (trackers, checklists, dashboards) that provides real-time visibility into certifications, AP status, and compliance health.
- Lead continuous improvement, standardizing templates, simplifying workflows, and proposing light automations that reduce cycle time and errors.
- Collaborate cross-functionally (Finance, Legal/Procurement, People, local operations) to resolve edge cases, translate decisions into policy, and raise the company-wide quality bar.
Requirements
- 1 to 2+ years in Finance Operations, Accounts Payable (AP), Financial Administration, or a similar role (ideally in startups or SaaS).
- Experience managing client/vendor certifications/registrations in portals and assembling payment packets.
- Outstanding documentation discipline; sharp eye for gaps and consistency.
- Experience working with external accounting firms and monthly closes.
- Practical knowledge of expense/T&E policies and corporate card audits.
- Strong command of Excel/Google Sheets and management tools (Notion/Jira/Trello); familiarity with ERP/AP is a plus.
- Bilingual communication (Spanish and English) is a plus.
Compensation and Benefits
At AltScore, we believe in offering a comprehensive benefits package that supports our team’s overall wellbeing. Eligible employees will receive:
- Base Salary: $800 - $1,300 USD gross per month, depending on experience.
- Performance Bonus: Up to 10% of base salary, tied to individual and company performance.
- Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP): Every employee receives ESOP shares because at AltScore we believe every team member is a partner from day one.
- Unlimited Time Off: With an expectation to take at least 3-4 weeks off annually. We know building a startup is a marathon, not a sprint, and prioritize work-life balance.
- Remote Work: AltScore is a fully remote company, encouraging employees to work where they are most productive.
