Chief Operating Officer

Job Title:

Chief Operating Officer (COO)

Location:

Remote Compensation: $125,000 base + bonus + equity opportunity, $200,000 target total first year ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Our client serves custom home builders nationwide with construction-specific bookkeeping, accounting, reporting, and financial support. Their clients rely on them for more than clean books. They provide clarity, consistency, responsiveness, and true partnership — helping builders run stronger, more predictable businesses. As they continue to grow, they are seeking a remote operational leader who can scale the internal engine without compromising quality, client trust, or disciplined execution.

The COO will serve as the CEO's operational counterpart and trusted #2. This person will lead the day‑to‑day execution of the business, oversee the accounting client‑delivery function, strengthen internal accountability, and build the structure needed to scale well. You will not be asked to simply keep things moving. You will be expected to improve how the business runs.

• Creating stronger processes
• Improving handoffs and communication
• Building role clarity and accountability
• Protecting service quality
• Leading managers and team members to a higher standard
• Reducing friction as the company grows

This is an ideal role for a disciplined operator who is calm under pressure, highly organized, detail‑conscious, and motivated by building efficient systems that last.

• Lead day‑to‑day accounting operations across client‑delivery and internal execution
• Turn company priorities into clear plans, workflows, and measurable outcomes
• Oversee the leaders responsible for client work and service consistency
• Improve process, quality control, and operational efficiency across the business
• Create accountability through scorecards, reporting rhythms, and follow‑through
• Identify breakdowns early and solve them before they become expensive problems
• Strengthen team performance through structure, coaching, and role alignment
• Serve as the bridge between the CEO's vision and the team's execution
• Help build a business that scales with less dependence on the owner

This role is best suited for a leader who is naturally:

• Highly organized and methodical
• Analytical and thoughtful in decision‑making
• Structured, disciplined, and process‑oriented
• Steady, composed, and consistent
• Comfortable holding a high standard without creating unnecessary drama
• Motivated by building systems, improving workflow, and creating operational clarity
• More focused on precision, follow‑through, and sustainable execution than noise or flash

• Creating order from complexity
• Spotting inefficiencies others miss
• Building processes that people can actually follow
• Making teams more effective through clarity and accountability
• Protecting quality as the business grows

• Significant leadership experience in accounting operations, professional services, outsourced accounting, or a similar client‑service environment
• A track record of building structure inside a growing company
• Experience leading managers, improving process, and driving accountability
• Strong operational judgment and follow‑through
• The ability to balance people leadership with process discipline
• Experience in construction, construction accounting, or serving project‑based businesses is a major plus
• Familiarity with EOS or similar operating frameworks is a plus

The CEO should not remain the hub for every decision, issue, handoff, and accountability gap. The right COO will create leverage.

You will help build the operating backbone of the company by bringing discipline to execution, stability to the team, and confidence to the client experience.

If you are the kind of leader who wants to build something durable, meaningful, and run with it, this is the role.

• Base Salary: ~$125,000
• Performance‑Based Bonus (structure to be defined)
• Equity / Ownership Opportunity
• Target First‑Year Total Compensation: ~$200,000 based on performance

Compensation growth is directly tied to operational success, team management, and company revenue performance.

This role is for someone who wants meaningful ownership and long‑term upside.
