You will work alongside a Senior Financial Analyst and a Senior Staff Accountant, reporting directly to our Head of Finance and Operations. This is a hands-on generalist role covering accounts payable, accounts receivable, reconciliations, and a range of accounting and finance tasks that support the full department. If you see a process that could be better, we want to hear about it - and we want you to help fix it.\n\nThe Company\nWe are a small team with a big vision: to be the premier provider of cloud technology solutions for retailers. KWI offers a complete, unified commerce solution from a single database, specifically designed to help specialty retailers grow their business. Our portfolio of customers includes Pandora, Bluemercury, Tom Ford and many other globally recognizable brands.\nWe combine Point of Sale, Merchandising, Order Management, eCommerce, CRM, and Loss Prevention into one cloud-based platform. We are a Values and Mission driven organization, and we believe that if we develop and demonstrate leadership in our strategy, operations, and people, we will continue to drive product innovation and service excellence.\n\nWho we are\nWe have the stability of a company that has been around for 40+ years and the energy of a startup that is still figuring out how to do things better every day. We move fast, we question the status quo, and we expect everyone on the team to do the same. If you are genuinely curious, have a better-than-average level of common sense, and get excited by solving real problems rather than just doing your job description - KWI is for you. We do not have a lot of bureaucracy and we do not want people who need it. What we do have is a team that shows up, figures things out, and takes pride in the work.\n\nAI at KWI\nWe are serious about AI - not as a buzzword but as a real part of how we work. We expect every member of our team to actively use AI tools to work smarter, move faster, and do more with less. In Finance, that means using AI to streamline reconciliations, automate routine reporting, identify anomalies in data, and accelerate research. We are also implementing an AI-powered accounts payable system that will help shape and adopt.\nWe are not looking for someone who has heard of AI. We are looking for someone who can walk us through how they use it day to day - in their current role, in how they organize their work, and in how they solve problems. Curiosity and a willingness to experiment are non-negotiable.\n\nAs a Finance Associate, you excel at the following core competencies\nOperational mindset - you notice inefficiencies and take initiative to improve them \nAttention to detail and accuracy in financial recordkeeping \nAdaptability and comfort working across multiple accounting and finance functions \nClear communication with internal teams and external vendors \nSelf-direction and follow-through with minimal oversight \nCuriosity and a practical approach to using AI in your everyday work","description_format":"text","description_chars":3213,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["POS Systems","Retail & Shop Systems"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-08T22:08:26Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.901,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":80000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/kwi-finance-associate","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/kwi-finance-associate.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T02:24:34Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3635,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":679000},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=679000"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fkwi-finance-associate"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fkwi-finance-associate"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fkwi-finance-associate"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/kwi-finance-associate\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fkwi-finance-associate"}]}
