Role Description

Join Cartwheel to help tackle the student mental health crisis! Cartwheel is an early-stage company building a new kind of mental health program for kids that puts schools at the center. We see our role as supporting school staff who see kids every single day. Instead of going around them, we collaborate with them. This means:

• Earlier intervention
• Higher student and family engagement in care
• Better coordination among the trusted adults in a student’s life

Kids shouldn't just aspire to get out of bed and drag themselves to class. They should be able to experience joy. They deserve to envision and build a life they’re excited to live. If you join Cartwheel, you’ll help make this vision a reality for millions of students across the country. We’re backed by top investors including A Street Ventures, Menlo Ventures, Reach Capital, General Catalyst, BoxGroup, and Able Partners, and we're looking for mission-driven teammates to join our team.

We're hiring an FP&A Associate to own financial reporting, planning, and KPI/OKR visibility across the organization. This is a net-new role — and a real opportunity to build something. Right now, our financial and operational metrics live in different systems, most reporting is backward-looking, and department leaders don't yet have the structured financial partnership they need to make confident decisions.

You'll change that. Reporting to Sam Bilow, VP Finance, you'll consolidate our reporting infrastructure, build forward-looking forecasts, and become a trusted cross-functional partner to leaders across Care Ops, Clinical, Product, Engineering, and beyond. If you want to do the work that makes a growing company smarter — this is the role.

• Role type: W2, Full-Time, Salaried position
• Salary range: $90,000–$140,000 cash compensation plus competitive equity package
• Location: Remote

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of experience in FP&A, finance, banking, or consulting — ideally with exposure to healthcare, EdTech, or high-growth startups
• Fluent in Excel (VLOOKUP, pivot tables, scenario modeling) and comfortable building clean, well-structured financial models from scratch
• Ability to translate financial concepts clearly for non-financial audiences — knowing when to simplify and when precision matters
• Self-directed and ownership-oriented: spotting problems, proposing solutions, and not waiting to be asked
• Comfortable operating with incomplete data — forecasting with 80% information and refining from there
• Caring about the mission: understanding that finance is in service of student mental health, not the other way around

Requirements

• Please apply even if you don't meet all of the criteria. If your past experience doesn't perfectly match the job description, but you bring other relevant experience or skills, we'd still love to hear from you. You may be a great fit!

Benefits

• Mission-oriented and inclusive colleagues who will go to bat for you
• Competitive compensation $90,000 - $140,000
• Generous PPO medical, vision, and dental/ortho coverage
• Life Insurance
• Generous paid time off, including company closure from Christmas-New Years (12/25-1/1)
• Paid holidays and sick leave
• Paid parental leave
• 401K with employer match
• Meaningful equity ownership stake in Cartwheel
• Flexible and remote role with regular in-person retreats
• Annual learning stipend
• Laptop
