* Monthly: Deliver accurate and timely monthly management accounts (P&L, Balance Sheet, Budget Variance) by the 5th of the month, lead mini-board meetings, and provide insightful feedback that drives results. You'll also get to share your insights with our founder in your weekly one on one.
* Quarterly: Review benchmarks, optimize supplier contracts, and ensure our investees are hitting their milestones. You’ll be setting and achieving your own milestones too!
* Annually: Guide our investees through annual planning, budget creation, and tax season – ensuring everything is filed on time and accurately. You’ll be a key part of the annual report too.
* Added Accountabilities: Maintain 100% accurate balance sheets, complete reconciliations promptly, provide proactive financial advice (at least quarterly), respond to inquiries within 24 hours, and drive improvements in expense management, tax planning, and receipt management.
What You'll Bring to the Table (Besides Your Sharp Mind):
* Integrity and Trustworthiness: These aren't just buzzwords to us. They're the foundation of everything we do.
* Analytical Prowess: You're a master of data, able to see patterns and insights that others miss.
