Full description

My Financial Partner delivers high quality, fast-paced fractional Controller, AP, and GL services to 70+ network companies across the Teamshares portfolio. We're a wholly owned subsidiary of Teamshares, Inc. — a publicly traded company built to keep great small businesses thriving, one acquisition at a time. \n The Role You're a member of the accounting SWAT team. When Teamshares acquires a new network company (NC) — or an existing one needs tidying up — you parachute in, get everything GAAP-clean, and hand off accounting processes that are ready to run smoothly. You sit at the center of it all: My Financial Partner (MFP), Teamshares' Financial Performance Team, and the Teamshares’ Acquisitions Team, turning messy legacy books into a sparkly system that just works. This is remote with 30-40% travel expected. Must reside in the US. Focus Areas • Clean up payroll/benefits liabilities and expenses, accruals, deferred revenue, AP, ST/LT liabilities, prepaids, inventory, customer deposits, and chart-of-accounts mapping before handing off to the on-going MFP teammates. • Report findings straight to the Sr. Transition Controller and flag the big stuff fast. • Assist with GL/ERP migrations, system integrations, and testing. • Reconcile everything on the balance sheet — cash, credit cards, fixed assets, tax liabilities, payroll liabilities, etc. • Turn paper-and-spreadsheet processes into clean, automated ones. What Success Looks Like • Close the books in 8–10 business days, every cycle, without cutting corners on accuracy and quality. • Get most of a new acquisition transitioned within 30–90 days, so the on-going MFP Controller, GL Accountant, and AP Specialist can take the wheel. • Help refine the Transition Team playbook to make every future onboarding faster than the last. What You'll Actually Do Core G/L Accounting & Month-End Close • Serve as the primary G/L accountant for multiple NCs in transition. • Determine and implement snazzy accounting entries such as accruals, reserves, reclasses, and intercompany entries. • Coach onsite finance leads on AR standard practices — payment application, collections hygiene. • Modernize and streamline AP tools (e.g. bill.com and Charted), tighten credit-card transaction syncing and coding/approval processes, and coordinate payment releases with the NC President. • Sync and reconcile cash, credit cards, and payroll to the right GL accounts. Systems, ERP & Inventory Transition • Map legacy charts of accounts (COA) onto Teamshares' standardized COA. • Configure the GL — account structure, segments, dimensions, reporting hierarchy — so reporting is useful yet efficient. • Spot ERP-driven and accrual/estimation process improvements, especially anything that shortens the month-end close. • Review inventory processes and COGS recognition for alignment with how the business recognizes revenue. Financial Reporting, Analysis & Advisory • Turn complicated transactions into insights the NC leadership can actually use. • Clean up inherited reporting and accrual calculations that don't hold together and build a reliable baseline. • Keep the books audit-ready throughout the transition — not just at handoff. Internal Controls, Audit & Process Improvement • Support audit, tax, and due-diligence requests with airtight documentation and digital audit trails. • Identify control and process gaps before they become audit findings. • Automate the manual, siloed, and disconnected — every fix should scale to the next NC. Stakeholder Collaboration & Communication • Partner with MFP Controllers, GL Accountants, and Teamshares to keep systems and data in sync. • Show up to meetings ready to speak up and flag risks and inefficiencies early. • Translate accounting impact into plain business terms. Team Training & Transition Planning • Train onsite NC staff on new workflows and close responsibilities. • Document SOPs and training materials in MFP's Google Drive — build it once, use it until we find a better way. • Join recurring knowledge-transfer sessions. • Hand off month-end close cleanly to the on-going MFP team. • Help refine the onboarding playbook and KPIs with the MFP Transitions Team. This Job is for You if You • Get hives at the thought of procrastination, disorganization, lack of documentation, and filing paper documents. • Desire a new accounting puzzle to solve as soon the current puzzle is at 90%. • Love janitorial accounting (a good clean up and facelift of the books) and you’re not afraid to use a different kind of mop, broom, or vacuum - with or without the instruction manual. • Thrive in a fast-paced environment. • Don't need a roadmap for every new system. You like assembling furniture without the manual yet you use the manual as a reference when needed. • Meet NC staff and teammates where they are at and help them get over the finish line. If they trip, you help them cross the finish line. • Wear the hat of an accounting professor and explain accounting to NC staff and teammates in chewable bites. • Like small-business scrappiness backed by big-company rigor and internal control standards. • Have a high frustration tolerance. You know you’ll figure out the puzzle soon. • Constant technological and process changes don’t phase you. You don’t skip a beat. You hardly blink. • Live our values, "Trust comes first, take initiative, make things better, act thoughtfully and be dependable." Benefits • Medical, Dental, Vision, FSA/HSA • 100% paid for employee (and dependents on most plans) • 15 days of vacation time to keep you balanced, rested and recharged and paid time off for 19 holidays, 5 sick days, and one floating holiday of your choice • Ongoing support and advice from Teamshares accounting, finance, and small business experts \n $100,000 - $110,000 a year \n
