• Role description

  The Internal Auditor we are after in Yakima, WA reads a P&L the way others read headlines. Trade 4 years of Workday Adaptive Planning for $66,000 - $97,000 and you also get finance ownership and a Public Policy Institute crew that wants you to win.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Reconcile payroll liabilities so the WA filings never bounce
  • Hold the line on capitalization policy across every finance project
  • Read the AR aging like a weather map and act before storms hit
  • Map intercompany flows so consolidation never throws a surprise

  What You'll Bring

  • The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time
  • Proven aptitude for People Management, ideally near Yakima, WA
  • 3+ years that left you with strong instincts and few illusions
  • Real ACA chops, plus the Workday Adaptive Planning curiosity to keep growing
  • Judgment seasoned by at least 5 years of real consequences
  • Comfort with a Public Policy Institute pace that rarely sits still
  • Hands-on command of Accounts Receivable, with CMA Certification as a close second

  Public Policy Institute earns its keep by making finance predictable, a scrappy-but-steady promise it has quietly kept across WA. We keep our process light so engineers can spend their energy on Accounts Receivable and People Management, not bureaucracy.

  On top of $66,000 - $97,000, we cover your health premiums, fund your certifications, and pair you with a seasoned mentor.
