We are seeking a Financial Operations Manager to own the execution and integrity of our accounting, payroll, commissions, and investor payment systems across multiple entities.

This role is not just responsible for completing tasks — it is responsible for ensuring our financial operations run accurately, on time, and without leadership intervention.

You will serve as the connective tissue between our systems, data, and financial reporting, working directly with our Fractional CFO and Operations leadership.

This role is designed for someone who takes ownership of problems, builds better systems, and thrives in environments where processes are still being defined and improved.

-   Prepare accurate commission and affiliate payment reports
-   Process investor payments for debt fund participants accurately and on time
-   Maintain complete documentation and audit trails for all payments

### Process Ownership & Optimization

-   Identify breakdowns, inefficiencies, and risks across financial workflows
-   Design and implement improved systems for accounting, payroll, commissions, and payments
-   Document, maintain, and continuously refine SOPs
-   Operate with the expectation that if something is unclear or broken, you own fixing it

### Systems & Tools

-   Gusto (payroll)
-   Ramp (AP & expense management)

### 60 Days

-   Monthly close completed independently
-   Commission reporting is accurate and repeatable
-   SOPs created for all core financial processes

### 90 Days

-   Payroll, commissions, and investor payments operate without oversight
-   Financial reporting is consistent, accurate, and trusted by leadership
-   Issues are identified and resolved proactively before escalation
-   At least one key financial process has been improved or rebuilt

### Required Experience

-   Experience supporting 3–5+ entities
-   3–5+ years of accounting and/or payroll experience
-   Strong proficiency in QuickBooks Online
-   Strong Excel / data reconciliation skills
-   High attention to detail with a strong ownership mindset

### What We’re Looking For

-   Someone who takes ownership beyond their job description
-   A problem solver who brings solutions, not just issues
