Job summary

LitFinancial in Troy, MI is seeking a Finance Operations & Compensation Analyst to own compensation administration, reconciliation, and vendor financial operations as we scale.

Reporting directly to the CFO, you will take full ownership of commission processing for both our W-2 loan originators and our 1099 contractor platform, then help us automate and build the processes that will carry the company from hundreds to over a thousand loan originators.

Qualifications

• 1 to 2 years of experience in finance, accounting, FP&A, or a related analytical role (internship experience counts).
• Strong Excel skills; you are comfortable working in formula-driven models and keeping them clean.
• High attention to detail; commission errors cost money and trust, and you catch them before they happen.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and fast-changing priorities in a scaling environment.
• Interest in pursuing a CPA or CFA designation is a plus.
• Exposure to mortgage, lending, fintech, or investment banking is a plus but not required.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end commission processing for loan originators, including calculation, review, approval, and payment.
• Reconcile commission calculations to ensure loan-level accuracy before every pay cycle.
• Coordinate loan-level commission detail and payment communications with loan originators and sales leadership, and resolve discrepancies quickly and professionally.
• Support payroll processing by ensuring compensation data is complete, accurate, and delivered on schedule.
• Partner with the product owner on platform changes affecting commissions and compensation, validating calculation logic before changes go live.
• Own monthly reconciliation for our top vendor relationships, including credit reporting, health and benefits providers, and our third-party processing partner.
• Audit vendor invoices against contracted rate cards, identify overcharges and duplicate billings, and drive disputes to resolution.
• Help automate revenue and compensation reconciliation by building tools to gather and consolidate data from lender portals and internal systems.
• Document SOPs for commission processing, reconciliation, and vendor management so every process is repeatable and audit-ready.
• Design processes that scale: what works for hundreds of loan originators today must work for 500 to 1,000 next year.
