Business Operations Generalist, Finance & Accounting

The Role

We're hiring someone to own the financial and business operations behind Wonderly.

Accounting is roughly a third of the role. You'll make sure vendors get paid correctly, coordinate month-end close with our external accountants, and keep tax requirements and financial systems organized. The rest spans contracts, procurement, insurance, equity administration, and the operational problems that come with a growing company.

We want someone with an accounting foundation who wants broad business ownership. You should be comfortable investigating an unfamiliar charge, working through a vendor renewal, coordinating with outside counsel, and building a process so the same issue is easier next time.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Accounting operations: Validate invoices, collect vendor documentation, coordinate approvals, and schedule payments.
• Month-end close: Keep close notes, provide supporting information to our accountants, investigate discrepancies, and flag unusual transactions.
• Tax coordination: Keep filings, registrations, notices, and year-end reporting moving with our external providers.
• Financial systems: Maintain tools such as Stripe, Subscript, Hubifi, and QuickBooks as the business changes.
• Contracts and procurement: Coordinate agreements with business owners and counsel, negotiate vendor terms, and track commitments and renewals.
• Corporate operations: Manage insurance renewals, routine equity administration, corporate records, registrations, and incoming notices.
• Process improvement: Document recurring work, establish clear owners and deadlines, and work with our internal team to automate repetitive tasks.

You'll have recurring responsibilities and unexpected problems. You're accountable for closing the loop on both.

What Makes This Role Different

You'll work directly with our CTO or CEO and see how decisions get made across the company.

Your accounting knowledge will give you a starting point, but your scope will extend across finance, legal, procurement, and corporate operations. You'll work with accountants, lawyers, brokers, vendors, and internal teams-and be responsible for making sure work gets finished.

You'll also have room to improve how the company operates. When something takes ten manual steps, we want you to question it, understand the constraints, and help build a better system.

As you become someone the company trusts with increasingly complex problems, your responsibilities can grow with you.

Backgrounds That Tend to Work

People from these backgrounds could thrive here:

• Accounting or finance operations at a fast-growing startup.
• Public accounting with hands-on exposure to startup clients.
• Business operations roles with meaningful accounting responsibilities.
• A broad operational role where you owned payments, contracts, compliance coordination, or financial systems.

What matters more than the resume:

• You understand invoices, accruals, reconciliations, and month-end close.
• You're meticulous with money, records, and deadlines.
• You investigate discrepancies and bring back answers.
• You keep work moving when several people or outside providers are involved.
• You know when to make a decision and when to involve a specialist.
• You're comfortable learning unfamiliar systems and handling ambiguous problems.
• You want to use your accounting foundation across a broader business role.

Strong spreadsheet skills are expected. Experience with QuickBooks, Stripe, Brex, Carta, or similar tools is useful.

Expectations

• 60-70 hour weeks
• Take ownership of meaningful recurring responsibilities within your first few weeks.
• Keep payments, filings, renewals, and other obligations organized and on schedule.
• Give our external accountants and other specialists complete information and timely answers.
• Raise problems early, with enough context to make a decision.
• Handle confidential financial, employee, and company information carefully.
• Use data, AI tools, and automation to make your work more reliable and less manual.
• Be hands-on. Sometimes the job is improving a system; sometimes it's calling a vendor and getting an issue resolved.
• Expect your scope to evolve as the company grows.

Compensation

• $100,000-$170,000 total compensation (base + equity), depending on experience.
• Remote in the US or Canada, with regular in-person gatherings.
