Business and Personal Finance Coordinator (Part-Time, ~20 hrs/week)

BrightStar Care of Santa Barbara and W. Ventura Counties•Santa Barbara, CA

4d•$50 - $70•Hybrid

About The Position

We are a home health care business seeking an experienced, hands-on finance professional to help organize and coordinate our business and household finances on a part-time basis (approximately 20 hours per week). This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being the “financial quarterback” rather than a back-office bookkeeper—someone who can connect the dots between accounting, tax, banking, and personal planning, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. The work includes “CFO-level” insight and coordination, without being a C suite title.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in finance, accounting, or related roles (e.g., controller, finance manager, FP&A, or similar).
Comfortable working with small-business financials.
Strong understanding of basic accounting, cash flow, budgeting, and tax coordination.
Highly organized, proactive, and detail-oriented; able to create structure and follow through without constant supervision.
Able to explain financial concepts clearly to a non-financial owner.
High integrity and discretion in handling confidential financial information.

Nice To Haves

Experience with service businesses or healthcare.
Ability to work effectively with a CPA (you do not need to be a CPA).

Responsibilities

Coordinate tax and accounting activities, including working with CPA and tax preparer for organized, complete, and timely tax documentation.
Partner with CFO and review financial reporting.
Maintain an organized system for key financial records and deadlines.
Oversee accounts payable and vendor records, improve visibility into upcoming payments and cash requirements, and ensure appropriate controls around payments and approvals.
Provide “CFO-level” insight on the business, including tracking cash flow, basic forecasting and budgeting, flagging issues/trends/opportunities, and creating a consistent financial calendar.
Support personal financial planning by providing household cash-flow visibility, simple projections, helping set reserve and liquidity targets, and coordinating with relevant professionals.
Act as the financial “quarterback” by serving as the central point of contact among advisors, translating financial concepts, and ensuring tasks and deadlines are met.
