Accounting and Financial Operations Lead

Why Patch, why now

Patch exists to put the planet back in balance by scaling unified climate action through software, market infrastructure, and culture-driven execution. Every day our platform not only curates the world’s most trusted carbon-removal and environmental datasets—it also moves 100s of millions of dollars to projects that cut, capture, or store CO₂ for good.

Our culture is built on three non-negotiables:

• We build the future we want – we don’t wait for permission; we shape the market.

• We’re all in this together – direct, empathetic teamwork inside Patch and across the climate ecosystem.

• We amp it up – urgency and unreasonably high standards because the planet can’t wait.

If that mindset energizes you, read on.

About the role

We are looking for a finance professional who is technically experienced in accounting and hungry to do more! This role spans accounting, finance, and operations, and is ideal for a builder who is excited about establishing new products and processes. Reporting directly to the Head of Finance, you will have the chance to work closely with Patch’s leadership team in supporting our mission to rebalance the planet.

This is a rare "hybrid" opportunity designed for a candidate who wants to work beyond traditional audit and corporate accounting. You will own the books, certainly, but you will also be heavily involved in the operations and strategy of Patch.

What you'll tackle

• Own the full-stack accounting process, system, and tooling to ensure progress towards audit readiness

• Support financial and operational reporting across all functions

• Own financial operations, including invoicing, collections, payouts, and vendor management

• Partner with leadership on budgeting, forecasting, and flux analysis to drive decision-making

• Design and oversee treasury and money movement operations

What makes you a great match

• An accounting professional with 2-4 years of experience in audit or technical accounting

• A builder with a track record of taking extreme ownership and exhibiting innate curiosity

• An adaptable generalist who thrives in ambiguity and proactively looks to solve problems

• Proficiency with standard ERP tools such as Quickbooks and Stripe

What you'll get

• A mission-obsessed crew shipping with speed and sky-high standards

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity

• Onsite culture in San Francisco with bi-annual offsites for deep strategy and team bonding

• Time-off-as-needed vacation and generous parental leave

• Monthly wellness stipend (mental and physical)

If shaping the story of climate action—while using AI as a force multiplier—sounds like your kind of challenge, we’d love to meet you.

Let’s rebalance the planet together.
