Finance and Ops Manager
About The Position
Qwoted helps the media connect with subject matter experts and the PR & Communications professionals who represent them. Qwoted’s mission is to improve the quality of news by quickly connecting reporters with the experts they need for their stories. We are hiring a Finance and Operations Manager to keep our finance and operations engine running day to day. This is a hands-on role with exposure to both functions: you will support the bookkeeping and accounts cycle on the finance side and own the day-to-day execution of operations and office management on the other. This role requires strong analytical skills, a deep understanding of accounting systems, an obsession with efficient processes, and the ability to manage multiple competing priorities. This role is built for someone who wants a broad role with a lot of growth potential.
Requirements
- Three to five years in an operations, finance support, administrative, or coordinator role, or equivalent internship experience.
- 5+ years of experience in Accounting & Finance

- Solid understanding of accrual accounting, balance sheet reconciliation, and financial statement preparation.
- Degree in Accounting, Finance or Economics (or related field)
- Knowledge of 1099 compliance and IRS regulations.
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify discrepancies and implement solutions.
- A self-starter who takes initiative and follows through without being managed step by step
- Strong organization and attention to detail, with the ability to run multiple workflows and trackers at once
- Comfort working across both numbers and people-facing coordination
- Fluency with spreadsheets and SaaS tools, and a track record of picking up new systems quickly
