About the Client

PromptPeople is hiring for a fast-growing, high-performance services business supporting enterprise clients in the U.S. The company is scaling quickly and needs a finance leader who can own the full finance function, bring order to complexity, and build systems that make the business audit-ready at all times.

This is not a bookkeeper role. It’s for a high-caliber finance operator who thinks like a CFO, executes like an elite controller, and builds infrastructure that scales.
Why This Role Exists

The business needs someone to fully own finance end-to-end: close, reporting, controls, cash, payroll coordination, AP/AR, systems, process design, and financial clarity for leadership. Over time, this person can help build and lead a finance team.
What You’ll Own (Responsibilities)

    Finance ownership & close
  • Own full-cycle accounting: AP, AR, payroll coordination, treasury, month-end close, reporting, reconciliations
  • Maintain a clean general ledger with monthly reconciliations for every account
  • Ensure GAAP-compliant financials with strong documentation and discipline
    Controls, structure & audit-readiness
  • Build and enforce internal controls, approval workflows, and accountability systems
  • Create accounting calendars, checklists, SOPs, and standardized processes
  • Maintain an audit-ready posture: organized support, clean trails, consistent policy application
    Reporting & business insight
  • Deliver monthly/quarterly financial statements with commentary and variance analysis
  • Build dashboards for KPIs: cash, margins, labor metrics, budget vs actual, trends
  • Translate numbers into operational insight and action for leadership
    Systems & automation
  • Optimize and integrate tools (QuickBooks, Ramp, payroll systems, AP automation)
  • Reduce manual work through process redesign, templates, and integrations
  • Improve data integrity across finance workflows
    Cash, forecasting & strategic finance
  • Manage cash daily and create short and mid-term cash forecasts
  • Build budgets and rolling forecasts with department owners
  • Build models (3-statement, scenario/what-if, ROI, headcount/labor models, unit economics)
    Tax & external partners
  • Coordinate tax packages and filings with external CPAs; ensure organized readiness year-round
  • Understand core US tax concepts and multi-state exposure (as relevant)
    Vendor management & compliance
  • Manage vendor onboarding (W-9s, 1099s, COIs, renewals), invoice validation, and procurement controls
    Longer-term leadership
  • Help hire, train, and manage remote/offshore finance support as the company scales

What Success Looks Like

    First 60–90 days
  • Close is consistent and reliable, with reconciled accounts and clean reporting
  • Core workflows and controls are documented, repeatable, and enforced
  • Leadership has clarity on cash, margin, labor, and key operational drivers
    6–12 months
  • Scalable finance infrastructure exists: approvals, SOPs, dashboards, forecasting cadence
  • Fewer surprises, better decisions driven by financial intelligence
  • Foundations in place to build a finance team around you
    Requirements
  • Proven ownership of full-cycle accounting and month-end close in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong command of US GAAP fundamentals (accruals, deferrals, prepaids, amortization, reconciliations)
  • Experience building controls, workflows, SOPs, and scalable finance processes
  • Strong financial reporting skills (statements + narrative + variance + insight)
  • Hands-on systems experience (QuickBooks and modern finance stack preferred)
  • High integrity, discretion, and comfort handling sensitive information
  • Proactive “see it, fix it, systemize it” operating style
  • Excellent English communication (written + verbal)
    Nice to Have
  • Multi-state complexity, services businesses, payroll-heavy environments
  • M&A / diligence exposure (QoE support, data room prep, integrations)
    Benefits
  • 100% remote
  • USD compensation
  • PTO (paid time off)
  • Local holidays
  • Direct work with the leadership team
  • High ownership and autonomy
  • Fast-paced environment with real impact
  • Growth opportunity as the company scales
