Finance Manager, Trilogy (Remote) - $100,000/year USD

Most finance managers gradually stop doing finance. Their calendars fill with status meetings, task chasing, and people administration while their technical skills go stale. This role takes the opposite path.
You will run global finance operations through a team of Senior Accountants while staying close enough to the work to know whether it is actually right. You'll inspect invoices, payments, reconciliations, allocations, and other finance outputs; diagnose the accounting or process failures behind errors; and turn those findings into written coaching that prevents the same mistakes from happening again. When a critical deadline or difficult finance problem demands it, you will still be capable of getting hands-on yourself.
Trilogy's Central Finance team operates differently from a traditional accounting organization. We automate routine coordination and continuously look for ways AI and automation can eliminate manual work, leaving finance professionals focused on judgment, quality, and improvement. You'll get exposure to complex global finance operations while retaining the technical edge that many managers lose as they advance. If you want management responsibility without becoming a professional meeting-attendee, this is where your accounting expertise becomes leverage.
What You Will Be Doing
Keep finance operations moving through Senior Accountants, continuously prioritizing work based on deadlines, business impact, dependencies, and financial risk.
Inspect finance dashboards and completed work to ensure bills, invoices, payments, bank transactions, reconciliations, control accounts, revenue, and spend allocations are accurate and current.
Diagnose quality failures using your own accounting expertise, identifying whether the root cause is incorrect data, system configuration, accounting treatment, or process execution.
Write evidence-based coaching that explains what went wrong, how to correct it, and how to prevent it from happening again.
Identify opportunities to use AI, LLMs, and automation to eliminate manual work and improve the speed and accuracy of finance operations.
What You Won’t Be Doing
Spending your week chasing status updates, assigning routine tasks, or sitting in project-management meetings.
Personally processing every transaction because delegating is easier than developing a strong accounting team.
Giving generic performance feedback disconnected from actual invoices, payments, reconciliations, reports, or other finance outputs.
Accepting recurring errors and inefficient manual processes as “just how finance works.”
