Full 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.
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
