The right Senior Controller sees a budget not as a cage but as a map, and Microsoft wants that mind in Washington, DC. Weigh it however you like — the math still lands at $130,000 - $197,000, internship hours, and a team at Microsoft worth joining.
Key Responsibilities
- Validate revenue recognition in line with current accounting standards
- Steer the internship grant reporting that keeps funders confident
- Reconcile bank and balance-sheet accounts down to the last cent
- Own the senior sign-off on journal entries above the threshold
- Build variance commentary executives actually read top to bottom
- Reconcile foreign-exchange gains as Washington, DC operations settle abroad
- Generate ad hoc reports combining Due Diligence and Problem Solving for finance leadership
What You'll Bring
- The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve
- Senior mastery of QuickBooks, validated by people who'd hire you again
- Experience thriving in a client-centric, deadline-driven setting like Microsoft
- Practical Due Diligence skills sharpened in an internship setting
- Judgment seasoned by at least 7 years of real consequences
- Roughly 7+ years operating in a similar Senior Controller position
- Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of an internship project
Quietly, from Washington, Microsoft has become the client-focused finance partner that DC's most demanding teams refuse to replace. A senior engineer and a director debate Due Diligence ideas on equal footing in our Washington standups.
We start the conversation at $130,000 - $197,000 and end it with mentorship, benefits, and the flexibility to grow without relocating from DC.
Stamped current this morning, the internship opportunity awaits your application.
