Job Description

Via is using technology to transform transportation around the world. From changing a single person’s daily commute to reducing humanity’s collective environmental footprint — we’ve got huge goals.

As a Finance Associate, you will be involved in all aspects of the core finance functions at Via, including taking a key role in the month-end financial close, accounts reconciliations and technical accounting research, while driving process improvement throughout the finance organization. You will have the opportunity to gain exposure to both the revenue and purchase to pay cycles. You will also have the opportunity to work on special projects to drive process improvements while ensuring accurate financial reporting, which enables data-driven decision-making across the company.

The ideal candidate is organized, proactive, and capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously. You should be a clear communicator and motivated to take on new challenges in a high-growth environment.

What You'll Do:

  • Manage Finance Operation Processes: Support aspects of certain Via finance operation workstreams, which may include revenue and/or purchase to pay cycles. In doing so, perform contract reviews to understand and document accounting treatment in accordance with GAAP.
  • Support Monthly Close Process: Assist with customer billing and revenue recognition, supplier accruals, and other tasks to ensure timely and accurate financial reporting that supports efficient management decisions.
  • Manage Financial Projects: Involvement in various finance and accounting initiatives, gaining a deep understanding of Via's operations and business model.
  • Drive Process Improvements: Contribute to the continuous improvement of Via’s financial systems and processes, ensuring scalability as the company grows.
  • Support Audit and Compliance: Assist with the annual audit process and ensure compliance with internal controls and revenue recognition standards.

Who You Are:

  • Organized & Independent: You can manage multiple priorities effectively and take ownership of your work.
  • Proactive Learner: You are eager to learn new processes and systems and suggest improvements.
  • Detail-Oriented Analyst: You enjoy analyzing financial data, identifying trends, and translating your findings into actionable insights.
  • Strong Communicator: You are comfortable discussing complex financial topics, ensuring clarity and understanding.
  • Experienced in Accounting & Finance: You have a strong understanding of accounting principles such as revenue recognition with a background in audit or tax at a public accounting firm, or experience in an accounting role at a high growth start-up.
  • Qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • 1-3 years of relevant work experience, preferably in a high-growth startup or a public accounting firm.
  • Strong Excel or Google Sheet skills (advanced proficiency is a plus).

What We Offer:

  • Joining a global employer with over 600 mobility deployments in 35+ countries
  • Becoming part of a company that was awarded for its commitment to social good
  • Competitive compensation including stock options
  • A hybrid working model and a spacious office near Chancery Lane, where you can enjoy weekly team lunches
  • Comprehensive health scheme offered through AXA

Founded in 2012, Via pioneered the TransitTech category by using new technologies to develop public mobility systems — optimizing networks of buses, shuttles, wheelchair accessible vehicles, school buses, autonomous vehicles, and electric vehicles around the globe.
Building the world's most efficient, equitable, and sustainable transportation network for all passengers — including those with limited mobility, those without smartphones, and unbanked populations — Via works with its partners to lower the costs of public transit while providing transportation options that rival the convenience of a personal car while reducing environmental impact.

At the intersection of transportation and technology, Via is a visionary market leader that combines software innovation with sophisticated service design and operational expertise to fundamentally improve the way the world moves.

We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles. All backgrounds, identities, and voices are welcomed and celebrated at Via.

Via is an equal opportunity employer.
