About Us
We are a growing, multi-location marketing agency building for our next phase of scale. As we continue to expand, we are investing in strong financial infrastructure, smarter systems, technology and automation implementation, and scalable financial + operational processes to support long-term growth.
Why This Role Matters
This position will play a foundational role in supporting the agency’s next stage of growth. The right person will help build financial systems and operational infrastructure that support the company for years to come. If you’re looking to simply “do accounting,” this is not the right fit. If you’re looking to help build and manage the financial engine of a growing business, we’d love to talk.
About the Role
Reporting to the Chief of Staff and working closely with the Office Manager, the Finance & Business Operations Manager will own the financial and compliance backbone of the organization.
This role combines:
-
Accounting leadership
-
Business management
-
Risk management
-
Strategic financial partnership
You will be responsible for both day-to-day financial execution and higher-level financial strategy. You must be comfortable rolling up your sleeves while also partnering with leadership on forecasting, growth planning, and financial decision-making. This role includes business management responsibilities tied to financial health and operational compliance, not just traditional accounting duties. This is a high-ownership position for someone who wants to help build and protect the financial engine of a growing business.
Who You Are
You are not looking for a narrow accounting role. You want to grow with a company long-term.
You enjoy:
-
Wearing multiple hats in a growing organization
-
Building systems and improving processes
-
Taking ownership instead of waiting for direction
-
Working independently while partnering with leadership
-
Seeing the direct impact of your work on the business
