Sr. Transition GL Accountant

My Financial Partner delivers high quality, fast-paced fractional Controller, AP, and GL services to 70+ network companies across the Teamshares portfolio. We're a wholly owned subsidiary of Teamshares, Inc. - a publicly traded company built to keep great small businesses thriving, one acquisition at a time.

The Role

You're a member of the accounting SWAT team. When Teamshares acquires a new network company (NC) - or an existing one needs tidying up - you parachute in, get everything GAAP-clean, and hand off accounting processes that are ready to run smoothly. You sit at the center of it all: My Financial Partner (MFP), Teamshares' Financial Performance Team, and the Teamshares’ Acquisitions Team, turning messy legacy books into a sparkly system that just works.

Focus Areas

• Clean up payroll/benefits liabilities and expenses, accruals, deferred revenue, AP, ST/LT liabilities, prepaids, inventory, customer deposits, and chart-of-accounts mapping before handing off to the on-going MFP teammates.
• Report findings straight to the Sr. Transition Controller and flag the big stuff fast.
• Assist with GL/ERP migrations, system integrations, and testing.
• Reconcile everything on the balance sheet - cash, credit cards, fixed assets, tax liabilities, payroll liabilities, etc.
• Turn paper-and-spreadsheet processes into clean, automated ones.

What Success Looks Like

• Close the books in 8-10 business days, every cycle, without cutting corners on accuracy and quality.
• Get most of a new acquisition transitioned within 30-90 days, so the on-going MFP Controller, GL Accountant, and AP Specialist can take the wheel.
• Help refine the Transition Team playbook to make every future onboarding faster than the last.

What You'll Actually Do

Core G/L Accounting & Month-End Close

• Serve as the primary G/L accountant for multiple NCs in transition.
• Determine and implement snazzy accounting entries such as accruals, reserves, reclasses, and intercompany entries.
• Coach onsite finance leads on AR standard practices - payment application, collections hygiene.
• Modernize and streamline AP tools (e.g. bill.com and Charted), tighten credit-card transaction syncing and coding/approval processes, and coordinate payment releases with the NC President.
• Sync and reconcile cash, credit cards, and payroll to the right GL accounts.

Systems, ERP & Inventory Transition

• Map legacy charts of accounts (COA) onto Teamshares' standardized COA.
• Configure the GL - account structure, segments, dimensions, reporting hierarchy - so reporting is useful yet efficient.
• Spot ERP-driven and accrual/estimation process improvements, especially anything that shortens the month-end close.
• Review inventory processes and COGS recognition for alignment with how the business recognizes revenue.

Financial Reporting, Analysis & Advisory

• Turn complicated transactions into insights the NC leadership can actually use.
• Clean up inherited reporting and accrual calculations that don't hold together and build a reliable baseline.
• Keep the books audit-ready throughout the transition - not just at handoff.

Internal Controls, Audit & Process Improvement

• Support audit, tax, and due-diligence requests with airtight documentation and digital audit trails.
• Identify control and process gaps before they become audit findings.
• Automate the manual, siloed, and disconnected - every fix should scale to the next NC.

Stakeholder Collaboration & Communication

• Partner with MFP Controllers, GL Accountants, and Teamshares to keep systems and data in sync.
• Show up to meetings ready to speak up and flag risks and inefficiencies early.
• Translate accounting impact into plain business terms.

Team Training & Transition Planning

• Train onsite NC staff on new workflows and close responsibilities.
• Document SOPs and training materials in MFP's Google Drive - build it once, use it until we find a better way.
• Join recurring knowledge-transfer sessions.
• Hand off month-end close cleanly to the on-going MFP team.
• Help refine the onboarding playbook and KPIs with the MFP Transitions Team.

This Job is for You if You

• Get hives at the thought of procrastination, disorganization, lack of documentation, and filing paper documents.
• Desire a new accounting puzzle to solve as soon the current puzzle is at 90%.
• Love janitorial accounting (a good clean up and facelift of the books) and you’re not afraid to use a different kind of mop, broom, or vacuum - with or without the instruction manual.
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment.
• Don't need a roadmap for every new system. You like assembling furniture without the manual yet you use the manual as a reference when needed.
• Meet NC staff and teammates where they are at and help them get over the finish line. If they trip, you help them cross the finish line.
• Wear the hat of an accounting professor and explain accounting to NC staff and teammates in chewable bites.
• Like small-business scrappiness backed by big-company rigor and internal control standards.
• Have a high frustration tolerance. You know you’ll figure out the puzzle soon.
• Constant technological and process changes don’t phase you. You don’t skip a beat. You hardly blink.
• Live our values, "Trust comes first, take initiative, make things better, act thoughtfully and be dependable."
