Finance Operations Systems Architect / Fractional Controller for Scalable Accounting Workflows

We are a U.S.-based professional services firm looking for a finance operations systems architect / fractional controller to help design a scalable accounting and finance operations system. We already have bookkeeping support. We are not looking for someone to do routine bookkeeping. We need someone who can design the workflows, controls, dashboards, reporting cadence, and automation opportunities that our bookkeeper and admin team can operate going forward. The project will focus on building a finance operating system around: Monthly close workflow AR and collections cadence Cash visibility Client balance and reserve/deposit tracking Financial reporting dashboards SOPs and handoff to the bookkeeper Automation opportunities using QuickBooks Online, bank tools, spreadsheets, Zapier/Make, AI tools, or similar systems The ideal person thinks like a finance operator and systems designer. You should be able to look at a manual process, identify the control risk, simplify the workflow, and design a repeatable system. This will likely start with a paid diagnostic, then move into a 60–90 day implementation project.
