About Us
Burkland’s core purpose is to Accelerate Dreams. Often, turning dreams into reality helps change the world, and we thrive at the forefront of this transformation. Startups desire our professionals because they are the best in the business. Startups seek our content because we are industry thought leaders. Startups trust our expertise, so founders can focus on their companies, products, and value-add. As part of our demonstrated value, our clients raised over $3B just last year.
At Burkland, we lead with our Core Purpose. We do this for both our clients and our employees, believing that leaning on our Core Values (Fresh Perspectives, Exponential Value, Empathy, Trusted Partner) leads to happy clients and happy employees. We are a remote-first company with over 190 incredible team members, more than 800 clients, and a commitment to Accelerating Dreams.
The Role
We are looking for a dynamic and strategic teammate to join Burkland on a full-time contractor basis located in Sri Lanka. If you have a background in accounting and a passion for helping startups thrive, Burkland is a wonderful fit for you!
_ Your Typical, Atypical Day _
This role has variety at its core. From facilitating client meetings to reconciling accounts, no day will be "typical." Supporting our startup clients who need accounting expertise but don’t require an internal team at their growth stage (usually Seed through Series C clients), there is always a lot of meaningful work to be done!
You’ll be working fully remotely! *Must be able to work during U.S. business hours. So, whether in pajama pants and a button-down or taking calls at a coffee shop, you design where and how you work each day. You will work with a variety of clients, requiring the ability to shift contexts, communicate effectively, prioritize tasks, and evaluate needs.
Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to build robust accounting processes and systems for our clients. Understanding and embracing the agile and scrappy nature of startups is essential.
