About The Company
Our client is a high-growth U.S. fractional CFO and CPA advisory firm providing strategic financial guidance, bookkeeping, tax planning, and operational support to early-stage startups and high-growth businesses.
The firm operates an active, autonomous client acquisition funnel driven directly by a strategic partnership with a leading venture-backed fintech platform. Startups joining this ecosystem are onboarded directly to receive dedicated, responsive bookkeeping and fractional accounting support.
To service this compounding client inflow and transition day-to-day operations away from fragmented part-time contractor coverage, the firm is hiring a dedicated, full-time Financial Systems Specialist & Client Accountant.
This is not a traditional public accounting compliance desk or a rigid corporate GL filing seat. In this role, you will work extensively within an early-stage,
proprietary fintech portal—a bespoke software platform built as a modern alternative to QuickBooks. The core accounting principles are foundational and straightforward, but the environment demands a sharp "systems detective"—someone with natural technical curiosity, comfortable navigating an evolving tool, investigating data sync discrepancies, and building efficient workflows where no static manual exists.
Role Overview
The Financial Systems Specialist & Client Accountant will independently own client bookkeeping maintenance, monthly reconciliation cycles, and day-to-day platform troubleshooting across an assigned portfolio of startup accounts.
Approximately 60% of your time will be dedicated to operational accounting execution (categorizing operational expenses, prepaid amortization, fixed asset vs. expense decisions, and driving month-end closes). The remaining 40% of your time will be focused on systems investigation, workflow optimization, and partner platform navigation—identifying why transactions did not flow through properly, resolving data exceptions, and coordinating with software product teams to streamline the close process.
You will work directly with the firm’s founder, who provides high-level US GAAP oversight and complex advisory support, allowing you to focus on clean transaction categorizations, system problem-solving,
and dependable day-to-day portfolio execution.
Key Responsibilities
- Startup Month-End Close & Bookkeeping Execution (~60%)
- Full-Cycle Month-End Closes: Own and execute timely, accurate month-end closes across a dedicated portfolio of early-stage startup clients.
- Transaction Categorization: Review and classify routine operational transactions, payroll feeds, vendor invoices, and banking data.
- Standard Accounting Treatments: Apply sound, practical judgment to recurring balance sheet items (e.g., distinguishing operational expenses vs. capital assets, amortizing prepaid expenses, and managing credit card reconciliations).
- Portfolio Ownership: Maintain clean, audit-ready balance sheets and P&L; statements without needing daily task assignment or line-item micromanagement.
- Proprietary Fintech Portal Navigation & Systems Troubleshooting (~30%)
- Master a Bespoke Platform: Conduct daily ledger and reconciliation workflows inside our partner fintech platform’s custom accounting software.
- Systems Detective Mindset: Troubleshoot data flow irregularities. When a transaction or balance does not calculate as expected, investigate the underlying logic, identify where the automation stalled, and develop functional workarounds.
- Engineering Collaboration: Document bugs, edge cases, and feature gaps clearly to provide actionable feedback to platform engineers and software product teams.
- Cycle-Time Optimization: Continuously test and refine workflow shortcuts to compress monthly close cycles inside the custom tool down to maximum efficiency.
- Client Onboarding & Fast-Response Support (~10%)
- New Client Inflow: Assist in onboarding the cont
