This role owns the financial operations of the business and supports sales execution so momentum, cash flow, and client confidence are never constrained by the founder.

You operate as a trusted proxy for the founder, with real authority over financial execution, revenue operations, and client follow-through. If it touches money, forecasting, invoicing, payroll, or sales follow-up, you own it.

This is a role for someone who brings judgment, professionalism, and calm authority, not someone waiting for direction.

Primary Responsibilities:

1. Financial Ownership & P&L Visibility (Primary)

You fully own day-to-day financial operations and clarity, including:

• End-to-end ownership of P&L accuracy and visibility
• Payroll execution and review
• Accounts payable and vendor payments
• Invoicing, accounts receivable, and payment follow-up
• Credit card and expense reconciliation
• Management of the accounting inbox and all financial communications
• Reducing outsourced accounting work by 80%+ through internal ownership
• Designing and enforcing clean, repeatable client onboarding and invoicing processes
• PO creation and follow-up to ensure engineering work starts without delay

The founder does not monitor QuickBooks, AR/AP, payroll, or invoice status.

2. Project Accounting, Forecasting & Cash Control

You ensure financial reality is always visible, current, and actionable.

This includes:

• Project-level financial tracking
• Revenue and cash flow forecasting
• Clear visibility into:
• When revenue is expected
• When cash is received
• Where timing, scope, or margin is drifting
• Surfacing risk early—before it becomes disruptive
• Providing clean inputs to support hiring, spending, and delivery decisions

This role exists to keep the business on offense, not reacting late.

3. Sales Execution Support & Revenue Operations

You support sales by ensuring nothing stalls due to lack of follow-up, organization, or discipline.

This includes:

• Owning inbound lead follow-up from website and HubSpot
• Prompt, professional calling and emailing of warm leads
• Ensuring every lead and deal has a clear next action
• Booking meetings without founder coordination
• Maintaining CRM discipline with zero stale deals
• Supporting phone and inbox management related to sales follow-up
• Coordinating with marketing, HubSpot workflows, and WordPress as needed

You are not the closer.

You ensure closers stay focused, prepared, and unblocked.

4. Client Experience & Professional Representation (Non-Negotiable)

You own the client journey from first contact through billing and project kickoff.

This includes:

• Managing onboarding from PO through project start
• Sending and tracking W-9s, ACH/wire details, intake forms, and onboarding materials
• Setting clear expectations around billing, milestones, and payment timing
• Acting as the primary point of contact for billing clarity and follow-through
• Ensuring a clean handoff from Sales to Engineering and Operations

This is a client-facing role.

Professionalism, clarity, confidence, and consistency are required.

Clients should consistently feel:

• Trust
• Control
• Competence

Every interaction matters.

Tools & Systems

• QuickBooks (P&L, invoicing, AP/AR, project accounting)
• HubSpot (CRM, pipelines, dashboards, follow-ups)
• Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive)
• ADP (Payroll – training provided)
• Calendly
• AI tools including ChatGPT, , Fireflies, and Zapier

Required Experience & Profile

This role is for someone with ownership-level experience, not support-only exposure.

Required:

• 2–10 years of experience in one or more of:
• Finance Operations
• Revenue Operations
• Accounting or Controller support
• Client Operations
• Sales Operations
• Experience working closely with a founder or senior executive
• Proven comfort owning money, follow-up, and decisions
• Hands-on experience with:
• Invoicing, AR, and AP
• Financial operations and reporting
• CRM systems (HubSpot preferred)
• Strong written and verbal communication
• Calm, professional presence in client and vendor conversations
• Ability to exercise judgment without constant escalation

Preferred:

• Degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, Operations, or related field
• Experience in manufacturing, engineering, or project-based businesses
• Experience representing a company in financial or client-facing discussions

What This Role Is Not

• Not an administrative-only role
• Not calendar management as a primary function
• Not a “wait for instructions” position

This role requires ownership, discretion, and polish.

Success Looks Like

• The founder trusts the numbers without hesitation
• Financial risk is visible early
• Clients experience clean, professional follow-through
• Sales momentum is supported without founder involvement
• The business runs cleaner, calmer, and faster
