Who We Are
Samsara is an online training company for adventure athletes. We believe that every human is an athlete, and that training is a process of self-discovery. It’s a joy, not a grind.
Our unique fascia-driven approach has helped professional athletes, olympians, and everyday moms and dads become the most athletic versions of themselves.
We are a value-driven company. What that means to us is that our 3 values are at the core of everything we do. We (1) Pursue Excellence, (2) Build Community, and (3) Empower Underrepresented Athletes, and if it’s not that, we don’t do it.
Excellence: We strive to deliver the best online training experience in the world. Our commitment to excellence extends to the standards of our work, the quality of our operations, the timeliness of our commitments, and our endless quest for high performance. We only do what we can do best.
Community: Part of our formula for success is community, which is the bond that keeps us accountable, and feeling supported. The Athlete Team is an uncommonly welcoming online space where people overcome the struggles that hold them back from becoming their most athletic selves.
As a staff we work remotely, but closely. We aim to build a company culture that celebrates open and transparent communication. Mistakes, and falling short are part of the process of learning and growing in a supportive team. We are hellbent on progress, not perfection.
Empowering the Underrepresented: We are committed to advancing the cause of equality amongst all human beings. We acknowledge our role as people of privilege in a broken world, and strive to use our business to advance the cause of racial justice. We work to this end through our partnership with Coombs Outdoors in Jackson, WY and by publicly supporting causes and work that align with our values.

About The Position
The Accounts Manager is responsible for financial tracking and reporting that ensures the health of Samsara. Under your guidance our financial picture is easily understood at a glance, and updated weekly.
Open and regular communication with the CEO happens both through meetings as well as weekly, monthly, and annual reports.
Job Responsibilities
Reporting: This is the backbone of your work. The central goal of your job is to measure the cost of growth, and identify the most cost effective ways to grow.
Oversee Payroll & Bookkeeping: You oversee an assistant to ensure that our staff and contractors are paid on time 100% of the time, and that our data is accurate and timely in Quickbooks. Your assistant will conduct bi-weekly payroll via Gusto, and will classify revenue and expenses in Quickbooks under your direction.
Tax Prep for CPA: (Once per year) Your accurate bookkeeping habits make tax prep a breeze. You communicate directly with the CPA as the year closes to ensure they have accurate financial records, delivered on time.
Budget: (Once per year) Establishing an annual budget is a team wide exercise that you guide. Using simple budget tools that we have developed you make adjustments to the budget, and deliver a complete budget to the CEO. Once locked, you import the budget into the software and track expenses and revenue against the budget, keeping the team updated on progress throughout the year.
Admin: You streamline our contracts and agreements with companies that we do business with. This includes big outdoor brands like Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Patagonia and Monster Energy. You write agreements, conferring with our lawyer for legal matters when needed. You bill, track and communicate with companies that we work with.
You are crucial to facilitating new staff employment paperwork, maintaining compliance with legal, insurance and government employment requirements.
