Job 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.

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.

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
