Snapshot
Entrepreneur with several small businesses (virtual mailboxes, construction, and international ventures) runs a unified playbook across Operations, Projects, and Marketing. This hire anchors the Operations lane and is the financial backbone across multiple entities. You’ll handle day-to-day accounting, build & enforce workflows, own billing/collections, and surface insights that drive cash flow and tax planning.
What You’ll Own
● Daily accounting across multiple entities
○ Reconcile all bank/credit card transactions every day in QuickBooks Online (multi-company).
○ Classify spend properly: company admin, job/Project costs, reimbursables, and COGS.
○ Maintain clean AR/AP, vendor records, and supporting documentation.
● Billing & collections (mission-critical)
○ Run invoicing cycles, apply payments, chase aging, and clear disputes.
○ Investigate open balances; identify root causes and fix upstream workflow
gaps to speed collections.
○ Partner with project/CS teams to confirm deliverables and release milestones.
● Financial workflows & controls
○ Design and document accounting workflows (intake → coding → approvals → reporting).
○ Establish checklists, SLAs, and audit trails; train teammates to follow them.
○ Create weekly exception reports that flag errors, inconsistencies, and risks—and close them out.
● Reporting, cash, and tax readiness
○ Prepare weekly dashboards (cash position, AR aging, WIP, gross margin by project/business).
○ Build/update monthly cash-flow forecasts; scenario plan around inflows/outflows.
○ Partner with the tax CPA on year-end planning (e.g., purchase timing, write-offs, accruals) and ensure books are tax-ready by Dec 1.
● Cross-functional coordination
○ Work closely with Customer Success, Project Management, and Design to align POs, change orders, receipts, and job costing.
○ Keep leadership informed with concise updates and “decision-ready” insights.
