The Clean Fight is a not-for-profit business accelerator working to significantly speed the growth of the inclusive clean energy economy in New York State and beyond. Our mission is to innovate models of adoption to accelerate the deployment of climate solutions. Given that many of the technologies we need to solve the climate crisis already exist, it’s imperative that we ensure they are adopted quickly, and at scale. To enable this adoption, The Clean Fight creates, runs, and iterates different programs (models of adoption) to identify which can have the greatest impact, at speed.
The Clean Fight currently has a few core programs. The accelerator program plays an important role in the New York State innovation ecosystem as the only accelerator focused on growth-stage companies, providing an essential next step for innovative climate companies looking to move from initial deployment to broad market adoption. We help them to quickly scale in NY by providing tailored support, high-touch customer and capital partner matchmaking, and non-dilutive investments to help with demonstration projects and deployments. Each cohort focuses on a different part of the clean energy economy: our practice areas include buildings and energy storage. Our second program, The Empire Technology Prize, is a $10M prize program focused on the development and deployment of leapfrog decarbonization solutions for New York’s tall buildings. We will also be launching an Energy Storage challenge later this year.
We are supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA), and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). We are a chapter of New Energy Nexus, an international not-for-profit that strives to achieve a 100% clean energy economy for 100% of the population in the shortest time possible by supporting diverse clean energy entrepreneurs with funds, accelerators, and networks, operating programs in the US, China, India, Southeast Asia, and East Africa.
About The Role
The Clean Fight is looking for a Senior Accountant as we prepare for continued growth and program expansion. You will work directly with our Director of Finance and Operations to support the full range of financial management functions required to deliver our world-class programs. The person in this role should bring strong attention to detail and experience in nonprofit financial management and federal grant reporting and compliance. You will be responsible for overseeing various accounting functions, ensuring accurate financial reporting and compliance, and providing strategic financial insights to support the organization’s day-to-day operations. The Senior Accountant will also support grants management for a $3M pool of grant funds made available through NYSERDA and directed towards growth-stage companies participating in our cohort program and a $10M prize pool for the Empire Technology Prize.
If you have a passion for clean energy, entrepreneurship, enjoy process design, operational excellence and enabling organizations and people to succeed, this position may be for you! The team has an office in New York City, near Madison Square Park at Rise NY. For this role we are open to remote or hybrid arrangements. This is an outcomes-based position that could be structured as full time or part time depending on the skills and qualifications of the right candidate. Unfortunately, relocation assistance is not available.
The Ideal Candidate
We are looking for someone who is organized, detail-oriented, conscientious, and interested in supporting the clean energy transition. This position requires a strong background in US GAAP accounting principles and non-profit accounting, experience managing federal government grants, excellent analytical skills, and the ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams. Our ideal candidate will bring a solid background in budgeting, financial forecasting, and federal grant compliance.
The Senior Accountant will be responsible for all daily general accounting related duties, including a broad range of transactional, reconciliation, and other financial management activities. The successful candidate will have a “roll-up-the-sleeves” attitude, is inherently hands-on, and ready to take the next step forward in their career to help us plan and strategize as our programming expands. They thrive in a start-up environment and are self-motivated, solutions-oriented, resourceful, and able to prioritize and multitask.
