Financial Systems Lead

About Teamshares Teamshares is a technology-enabled acquirer of small and midsize businesses. We buy companies with $0.5 million to $5 million in EBITDA, integrate them with our platform, and help employees become owners. Founded in 2019, we operate 90+ subsidiaries with approximately $490 million in consolidated revenue across 40+ industries and 30 states. The Role We're looking for a Financial Systems Lead to own the financial-systems strategy and execution across our network of companies. You'll design and implement ERP solutions, evaluate financial-systems tools and platforms, advise leadership on technology investments, and ensure each company has the systems and processes to manage its own finances effectively. This is an individual contributor role focused on strategy, design, and hands-on execution. You'll work directly with company finance teams and implementation partners, troubleshoot technical problems, establish best practices, and build the financial-systems foundation that enables our companies to operate independently. You'll have significant influence over how we approach financial systems across the network. As we grow, you'll build and lead a small team. We're looking for someone who can handle the immediate hands-on work while growing into broader leadership of this function. About two-thirds of our network uses QuickBooks Online.

Problem-Solving & Technical Leadership: When companies encounter financial-systems challenges, you're the escalation point. Diagnose problems, work with partners and vendors to find solutions, and make recommendations. Roll up your sleeves on troubleshooting and hands-on work as needed. What We're Looking For 7-12 years of experience in ERP implementations, financial-systems leadership, enterprise accounting, or related fields. Deep hands-on knowledge of Netsuite and practical experience with other financial-systems tools. Strong judgment about financial-systems architecture. You can evaluate trade-offs between different platforms, vendors, and approaches. You make decisions based on what the business actually needs.
