Top Companies Hiring for Finance Jobs in Seattle (Oct 2026)

Your finance job search in Seattle is hitting a wall because the market looks small and you can't tell who's actually hiring. Here's the honest picture as of 14 October 2026: there are 11 open Finance jobs in Seattle on the JobRise live feed. That's the whole slice. Five of those 11 were posted in the last 30 days, and four in the last 7 days alone, so the market is slow but not dead.

A quick caveat before you plan around this. These are counts of open listings on one feed, not a market survey, and some of the names below are recruiters or staffing firms rather than end employers.

The companies ranked by open finance listings#

Six companies account for all 11 listings. Carta leads with 4, then Stripe and Brex with 2 each, and Mindful Support Services, MacDonald-Miller Facility Solutions, and Outreach with 1 apiece.

The titles tell you what each one is really buying. Carta's visible role is "Technical Senior Manager, Fund Tax," which is senior tax work, not generalist finance. Stripe has "Head of Money Management, Finance & Strategy" and "Product Manager, Treasury for Platforms," so both openings sit at the senior or specialist end. Brex shows "Credit Card Counsel" and "Underwriting Senior Analyst," a legal-adjacent role plus credit risk. Outreach's single listing is "Senior Financial Analyst," the closest thing here to a classic FP&A seat. Mindful Support Services lists "Insurance AR Manager, Seattle, Wa" and MacDonald-Miller Facility Solutions lists "Accounts Receivable Specialist," which are the only two openings that touch receivables.

My read: if you're an AR person, your two realistic targets are the two one-listing companies, and you should move first because they're easy to miss.

How Seattle compares with the country#

Seattle has 146 open listings across all categories, and 11 of them are finance, so finance is a thin slice of a small local feed. Nationally there are 701 Finance job listings in the United States, which means Seattle's 11 is a sliver of the country total. Check the current national picture in the JobRise Hiring Report: the US before you set expectations, because these counts move weekly. All 11 are Full-time, and zero of 11 look entry-level, so titles with intern, graduate, junior, or trainee simply aren't showing up in this snapshot. If you're early career, you'll need to widen the net to adjacent titles like billing, revenue operations, or credit analyst.

How to target each type of employer#

Target the fintech product companies (Stripe, Brex, Carta) differently from the operating businesses (MacDonald-Miller Facility Solutions, Mindful Support Services) and the software vendor (Outreach). For fintech, lead with domain depth: treasury, fund tax, credit, payments. For an operating business, lead with collections, cash application, and how fast you close the month.

Staffing and recruiter listings deserve a separate lane. When a listing is posted by a recruiter rather than the end company, your first question is who the client is, and you ask it early so you don't waste a week.

Worked example, a resume bullet rewritten for the Stripe treasury-type roles:

• Before: "Responsible for cash management and forecasting."
• After: "Owned the 13-week cash forecast for a $40M monthly flow, cut variance from 12% to 4%, and briefed the CFO weekly on liquidity moves."

Same job, but now a treasury hiring manager can see scale, accuracy, and who you reported to.

Referral and outreach scripts#

Cold outreach works when it's short and asks for something small. Here's a message you can send to someone on the finance team at a target company:

"Hi [Name], I'm a finance person in Seattle working on AR and month-end close. I saw [Company] has an Accounts Receivable Specialist opening and I'd love your read on whether the team values collections speed or reconciliation accuracy more. Happy to send a two-line summary of what I've done. Thanks either way."

For a recruiter posting, cut it to the bone:

"Hi [Name], interested in the Insurance AR Manager role you posted. Nine years in healthcare AR, managed a team of 3, and I'm local to Seattle. Is the client open to candidates without insurance-specific experience, or is that a hard requirement?"

The second line does the work: it names the job, states your fit in one breath, and asks a question only they can answer.

A 7-step plan for the next two weeks#

• List all 11 openings and mark which are true end employers versus recruiters or staffing firms.
• Rank your top 3 by title match, and put Carta's fund tax role and Stripe's treasury role in a separate "stretch" column if you're not senior.
• Rewrite one resume bullet per target using the scale-and-outcome pattern above, so each version speaks that company's language.
• Pull background on each target with the free company insights tool before you apply, so your note references something real about them.

Wait, that link is wrong. Use this one: the free company insights tool.

• Send 3 outreach messages before you submit any application, because a warm intro beats a cold apply every time.
• Apply to all 11 within 48 hours of your outreach, and log the date so you know when to follow up.
• Follow up once at day 7 with one new line of value, like a short note on how you'd handle their AR aging or forecast, then move on.

Two weeks is enough to cover this slice twice. If nothing moves by then, widen to billing and revenue operations titles in the same 146-listing Seattle pool.

FAQ#

How current are these Seattle finance job numbers?

They're a dated snapshot from the JobRise live jobs feed taken on 14 October 2026, counting open listings rather than surveying employers. Counts change as listings expire and new ones post, so recheck before you plan.

Are all 11 openings at companies I'd want to work for?

Not necessarily. Some listings come from recruiters or staffing firms, so the name on the post isn't always the company you'd join. Ask who the client is early.

Why are there no entry-level finance roles showing?

Zero of 11 listings have intern, graduate, junior, or trainee-style titles in this snapshot. Seattle's finance slice skews senior right now, so widen to billing, credit analyst, or revenue operations if you're starting out.

Should I apply to all 11 or focus?

Apply to all 11, but only after you've sent a short outreach note to the top 3. Volume without targeting wastes your time on the ones that were never a fit.

Do any of these listings show salary?

No listing in this slice shows a salary. For typical ranges you'll need to check each posting's source or ask directly, and reported numbers vary a lot by title and seniority.
