Finance Manager, Trilogy (Remote) - $100,000/year USD
Crossover
Remote
In this role, you will oversee global finance operations by leading a team of Senior Accountants while maintaining sufficient proximity to the actual work to assess its quality and accuracy. You will review invoices, payment processing, reconciliations, allocations, and related finance deliverables; identify the underlying accounting or procedural breakdowns that cause errors; and create detailed written feedback that ensures these issues do not recur. When urgent deadlines or complex finance challenges arise, you will retain the capability to execute the work directly.
Trilogy's Central Finance team functions distinctly from conventional accounting departments. We automate repetitive coordination and systematically pursue opportunities for AI and automation to remove manual effort, allowing finance professionals to concentrate on judgment, accuracy, and continuous improvement. You will gain exposure to intricate global finance operations while preserving the technical competence that many managers lose through career progression. If you seek management accountability without transitioning into full-time meeting coordination, this role transforms your accounting knowledge into organizational impact.
What You Will Be Doing
- Oversee daily finance operations by directing Senior Accountants, continually reprioritizing assignments according to deadlines, business significance, interdependencies, and financial exposure.
- Review finance dashboards and completed deliverables to verify that bills, invoices, payments, bank transactions, reconciliations, control accounts, revenue, and expenditure allocations are precise and up to date.
- Analyze quality breakdowns by applying your accounting knowledge to determine whether errors stem from incorrect data, system configuration issues, improper accounting treatment, or flawed process execution.
- Create evidence-driven coaching documentation that clarifies the error, outlines corrective steps, and establishes preventive measures.
- Recognize opportunities to deploy AI, LLMs, and automation for eliminating manual tasks and enhancing both speed and precision in finance operations.
- Consuming your schedule with status check-ins, routine task distribution, or project coordination meetings.
- Handling every transaction yourself rather than investing effort in building a capable accounting team.
- Delivering vague performance commentary unconnected to specific invoices, payments, reconciliations, reports, or other tangible finance work products.
- Tolerating repeated errors and inefficient manual workflows as inevitable aspects of finance operations.
Develop a high-performing finance operations team that reliably delivers accurate, punctual finance work while systematically improving quality and eliminating avoidable manual effort.
Basic Requirements
- A degree in Accounting or Finance.
- A recognized professional accounting qualification such as CPA, ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent.
- Experience on at least five audits involving a Big 4 accounting firm, either as the auditor or the client.
- Accounting or finance experience within an organization with at least $100M USD in revenue.
- People-management experience with direct responsibility for finance or accounting professionals.
- Hands-on experience across AP, AR/customer invoicing, bank and control-account reconciliations, and revenue and spend allocation.
- Experience prioritizing and allocating operational finance work across a team while managing deadlines and resolving blockers.
- Experience incorporating AI or LLM tools into at least one recurring work process, beyond ad hoc prompting, with a clear impact on efficiency or accuracy.
- Ability to work US business hours.
- Experience designing or building finance workflow automations using tools such as n8n, Lovable, Claude Code, or similar platforms.
- Experience managing finance operations across multiple business lines or international entities.
