About Layer
Over the last decade, a vibrant ecosystem of SMB software tools has emerged to help SMBs manage and run their businesses. These tools help SMBs with everything from payments to payroll, but accounting has lagged behind. Small business owners are still struggling with disconnected, generic, accounting software and expensive bookkeepers.
At Layer, we’re building a new kind of accounting software and bookkeeping that lives within the existing software tools SMBs use every day. Our platform allows software companies to quickly launch modern accounting software and bookkeeping services to their SMB customers, eliminating the need for them to use legacy accounting tools or bookkeepers.
The Role
As a Bookkeeping Operations Manager at Layer, you’ll help us scale our bookkeeping business to meet the rapidly growing demand of our customers. You’ll manage our automated bookkeeping service that already serves close to a thousand SMBs today and help us scale it to tens of thousands.
We’re growing quickly, and our bookkeeping operations need to scale alongside our customer base. We’re building a combination of great people, efficient processes, and software automation to deliver a consistently excellent bookkeeping experience for our customers. In this role, you’ll be responsible for keeping our day-to-day bookkeeping operations running smoothly while helping build the systems that allow us to operate at a much larger scale.
You’ll work closely with our operations, bookkeeping, partnerships, and engineering teams to improve execution, eliminate bottlenecks, and make our team more effective. This is a hands-on role for someone who loves bringing structure to ambiguity, takes ownership of outcomes, and gets satisfaction from making complex operations run better.
Key responsibilities include:
Build deep expertise in small business bookkeeping processes and Layer’s bookkeeping systems.
Triage and investigate customer issues surfaced by our frontline bookkeeping team.
Document and improve our standard operating procedures across our bookkeeping service.
Identify opportunities to streamline workflows, reduce manual work, and increase team efficiency.
Manage our Philippines-based bookkeeping team. Track performance metrics and SLAs.
