Finance Operations Manager

Overview

The organization is seeking a Finance Operations Manager to make the finance team faster, clearer, and easier to work with. This role owns the flow of information between accounting, FP&A, and the rest of the business, and uses modern AI tools to reduce manual work.

Responsibilities

Run the Finance Operating Rhythm

• Own the monthly close calendar and provide teams outside accounting with a clear view of what is open and when it lands.
• Maintain a single tracker for deadlines, owners, and dependencies across accounting, FP&A, orders, and RevOps.
• Run recurring finance meetings, capture decisions, and track every action item through closure.

Fix How Information Moves

• Map how information flows between finance teams and identify where work waits or gets stuck.
• Set up simple, repeatable hand-offs so teams are informed about changes (new vendors, entities, team moves) before systems break.
• Convert one-off requests into standard reports and dashboards delivered on a schedule.

Automate With AI

• Identify manual, repetitive finance tasks and replace them with AI tools and automated workflows.
• Write short playbooks and train finance team members to use them.
• Measure impact (hours saved, days cut from the close, errors avoided).

Support Projects and Audits

• Coordinate cross-functional finance projects from scoping to delivery, including audit requests and year-end work.
• Prepare clean, well-organized support for auditors and the executive team.
• Help prepare and track budget and planning milestones.

Requirements

• 4 to 6 years in finance operations, FP&A, revenue accounting, accounting operations, business operations, or a similar role.
• Comfortable with the close, month-end reporting, and the order-to-cash flow, even if you have not run them.
• AI experience (Claude preferred) with curiosity and willingness to try new tools.
• Ability to run a project with many owners, track progress, and finish.
• Clear writing, steady follow-up, and the ability to work effectively with people you do not manage.
• Manual dexterity for repetitive use of wrists, hands, and fingers to operate a computer.
• Ability to perform stationary tasks, including sitting for extended periods and remaining in a stationary position.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience improving finance processes by automating workflows and standardizing recurring reporting.
• Demonstrated ability to map cross-team information flows and reduce bottlenecks.

Compensation & Benefits

• Estimated base salary: $115,000 - $140,000 + Bonus.
• Actual salary may vary based on market and individual qualifications objectively assessed during the interview process.
• Benefits package includes, but is not limited to, 401k and medical/dental coverage.
