Fractional Finance & Accounting Manager - SaaS / Partnership Marketing

Imagine owning not just the books, but the financial engine that powers
a fast-growing partnership marketing platform.
At Inflektion, we built the first Partnership Growth Platform designed
to activate partners (affiliates, creators, influencers, publishers,
brand partners, healthcare professionals) using real time
personalization.
Brands come to us because they want partnerships to become a predictable
revenue channel, not a checkbox channel that sits in the corner.
We deliver outcomes.
Our product, sales, and operations are scaling fast. Now we are looking
for the person who will own and run the financial engine behind that
growth.
Your mission: Own and run Inflektion’s monthly financial engine. The end-to-end affiliate commission cycle and build the systems that keep it accurate, on time, and increasingly automated.
This role is about owning the numbers and the systems behind them:
invoicing brands for the commissions we drive, reconciling and
collecting them, paying our partners, and turning a manual monthly close
into a reliable, automated one.
Build with Leverage
At Inflektion we believe the best finance operators do not rely on
manual work. They build systems.
This may include:
- Automating reconciliation, invoicing, and payout workflows
- Using AI to speed up auditing, categorization, and exception
handling
- Turning repeatable monthly jobs into reliable, low-touch processes
We’re already automating parts of this operation. You’ll work alongside
those systems, help us identify what to automate next, and bring the
financial judgment for when automation alone isn’t enough.
What You’ll Do
We want to be transparent about what this role requires.
This is not an advisory or fractional-CFO role.
This is not a data-entry-only bookkeeping role.
This is not a maintain-the-status-quo role.
This is a hands-on operating role.
You will be responsible for owning our monthly finance operation end to
end and improving the systems behind it. You will need to:
- Own the monthly close, from invoicing brands through paying partners
- Keep the books accurate and receivables and payables under control
- Improve and automate the processes behind the work
- Communicate clearly and work independently, with limited guidance
You enjoy using AI and automation to move faster and cut manual work. If
your default is manual, one-off execution rather than building
repeatable processes, this role will likely feel frustrating.
What You’ll Own
The Monthly Commission Cycle
- Own the end-to-end monthly affiliate commission cycle: invoice
brands for the commissions we’ve driven, reconcile and collect them,
and pay our partners accurately and on time.
- Run the twice-monthly payment cycles (around the 15th and
month-end): reconciliation, auditing, and running payout jobs,
including ad-hoc and manual adjustments when needed.
Receivables & Payables
- Process incoming payments and apply them to the correct invoices;
keep receivables current and follow up on overdue accounts.
- Own accounts payable, make sure partners and internal referrers are
paid their share accurately and on time. Most payouts run
automatically through our affiliate platform; you own the manual
exceptions, one-off payouts, and the reconciliation that guarantees
no one is ever over or under-paid.
Invoicing & Bookkeeping
- Run the monthly invoicing cycle: bookkeeping, emailing, and
creating/sending invoices.
- Maintain accurate finance records and supporting documentation.
Finance Support & Systems
- Interface with finance-related customer-service requests from
brands, partners, and the internal team.
- Identify weak, manual, or error-prone processes and fix them
permanently, and help shape and extend the automation supporting
finance.
What Success Looks Like
Within your first few months you will have:
- Every monthly cycle (invoicing, reconciliation, and partner payouts)
running accurately, on time, and with minimal founder involvement.
- Receivables and payables kept current, with clear visibility into
what’s outstanding.
- Finance-related questions answered accurately and within agreed
response times.
- The systems are more reliable, more automated, and more scalable
than when you found them.
- Founders who trust that the day-to-day finance operation is fully
under control.
Your Experience and Technical Requirements
We care less about titles and more about outcomes.
You likely have experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Finance or accounting operations at a B2B SaaS or technology company
- High-growth startup finance operations
You should have:
- Strong, hands-on Xero experience
- Real reconciliation, accounts-receivable, and accounts-payable
experience
- Confidence in spreadsheets, with the instinct to improve them rather
than simply maintain them
- Experience using AI tools in real finance or accounting workflows,
with specific examples you can share
- The ability to work independently, communicate clearly, and follow
through without close supervision
- Excellent written and spoken English, with reliable overlap with
North American business hours
Bonus:
- Affiliate or performance-marketing finance experience (commissions,
payouts, revenue share)
- A track record improving finance processes in a growing company
- Interest in growing into a full-time role as the company scales
You are also comfortable using AI tools to accelerate your work and
reduce manual effort.
The Reality Check
Know this before reading further: this role is not for someone who:
- Needs heavy direction to execute
- Represents an agency that rotates the work among different people
- Prefers to maintain spreadsheets instead of improving them
- Is uncomfortable with the accuracy, deadlines, and accountability
that finance demands
