What We're Looking For

We are looking for a highly organized and analytical Finance Operations Manager to own finance and operational administration across multiple entities. This is a hands-on, execution focused role responsible for ensuring bookkeeping, billing, compliance deadlines, contractor administration, and corporate records run cleanly and predictably - with minimal founder involvement.

Reporting Line & Accountability

• Reports directly to the Managing Director/ Chief Financial Officer
• Works closely with external accountants, tax advisors, and service providers under MD/CFO oversight
• Responsible for accurate and timely financial execution; the MD/CFO retains oversight of strategy, structuring, tax positioning, and financial governance
• Escalates material risks, compliance concerns, or cash flow issues to the MD/CFO proactively
• Provides regular structured reporting to the MD/CFO income statement ratios, cash, close status, compliance calendar, and operational finance matters

Key Responsibilities

Multi-Entity Finance & Bookkeeping

• Own day-to-day bookkeeping across 8 entities (mixed monthly and annual cadence)
• Manage month-end close in Xero, ensuring reconciled and audit-ready records
• Maintain intercompany transactions and supporting documentation
• Maintain clear visibility of cash positions across entities
• Coordinate with external accountants for filings, statutory accounts, and reporting
• Track international investments and support reporting across tax deadlines
• Prepare structured monthly finance packs for CFO review

Billing, Payments & Contractor Operations

• Manage billing, refunds, failed payments, disputes, and chargebacks
• Oversee contractor administration and payments, including onboarding/offboarding document management, and invoice validation
• Monitor recurring expenses, subscriptions, and company cards; support basic cost control and oversight

Compliance, Renewals & Administration

• Maintain a master compliance calendar across all entities (renewals, filings, statutory deadlines)
• Provide regular compliance status updates to MD/CFO
• Coordinate administrative requirements for tax filings and renewals (document collection, timelines, confirmations)
• Maintain organized, easy-to-find digital records and documentation
• Ensure proactive management of renewals and obligations

Corporate/Statutory Records & Financial Controls

• Maintain corporate records and support routine governance administration (e.g., preparing standard member/shareholder resolutions using templates; ensuring signing and proper storage)
• Ensure corporate documentation is complete and audit-ready for CFO review
• Own core financial controls and standards (reconciliations, clean audit trails, documentation quality, basic approval processes)
• Escalate control weaknesses or governance gaps to CFO
• Provide operational finance support as needed to ensure continuity of finance processes

Process Improvement

• Document finance/admin workflows and implement practical process improvements
• Reduce manual work through light automation and better systems
• Build simple dashboards/reporting where helpful for visibility and predictability
• Present improvement recommendations to CFO for approval where appropriate

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

• All entities reconciled and running on a clear monthly/annual cadence
• Month-end close running smoothly and predictably
• Billing, disputes/chargebacks, and contractor workflows under control
• Renewals/filings calendar established and proactive (no urgent last-minute requests)
• Corporate records organized and consistently maintained
• Founder time spent on finance/admin significantly reduced
• 2-3 meaningful process improvements implemented

Requirements

• CA qualified (newly qualified or experienced), with demonstrable hands-on experience in finance operations / bookkeeping
• Strong Xero experience (multi-entity experience preferred)
• Advanced Excel / Google Sheets
• Highly organized, detail-driven, and calm under pressure
• High integrity handling sensitive financial and corporate information
• Comfortable working independently in a founder-led environment
• Comfortable using AI tools for research and spreadsheet/data work, with strong validation habits
• Experience with contractor-heavy environments, renewals/filings support, and corporate record-keeping is a plus

Benefits

• Salary Range: $3500-$5000/month
• Work from Anywhere: Enjoy the freedom of a fully remote position, giving you the flexibility to work from wherever you feel most productive
• Ongoing Growth: Get access to free training, resources, and continuous learning opportunities to help you level up your professional skills
