Executive Assistant​/Business Operations

Bankey & Co. is a fractional CFO and advisory firm working with a portfolio of early-stage and growing technology companies — providing financial leadership, strategic advice, modeling, fundraising support, and the day-to-day problem solving that comes with being CFO to several growing businesses simultaneously.

As the firm has grown, so has the coordination, follow-up, research, and administrative work surrounding that. This role exists to take ownership of that layer, so the firm's time and attention go where they create the most value.

This is also a way to be close to genuinely interesting, high-stakes startup work — fundraising, growth, the real decisions that determine whether a company survives — without betting a career on any single company's outcome. The variety and the exposure are part of what makes this role different from supporting one founder at one startup.

This is a high-autonomy Executive Assistant / Business Operations role — not one built around completing a list of assigned tasks. It calls for someone who can take an objective, figure out what needs to happen, and run with it.

The role carries real visibility across the firm and its clients. The expectation is using that context to prioritize, anticipate needs, follow up on loose ends, and keep things moving without constant direction. Done well, this is the kind of role where something can be handed off and not thought about again.

The work is primarily about keeping things organized and moving across several client engagements at once: triaging what actually needs attention versus what doesn't, tracking commitments across multiple companies so nothing slips between them, coordinating directly with clients and their teams when something's outstanding, and catching problems before they become problems.

A smaller piece involves the financial systems — mainly making sure integrations and connections are working correctly and flagging exceptions that need a closer look, and ensuring invoicing and collections stay on track. Financial literacy matters here because it allows independent judgment and context, not because the job is accounting.

The most important qualification is judgment — someone who naturally asks "what needs to happen here?" rather than "what exactly was I told to do?"

That means proactive, organized, resourceful, comfortable with ambiguity, and comfortable making reasonable calls independently. Prior experience supporting a founder, executive, or small business is preferred — ideally at a tech startup, where the pace and the stakes will already feel familiar. Comfort with accounting systems and general business-tool fluency is a plus.

The bar here is genuinely high, on both sides. There's a clear structure to this role — it exists specifically to take things off…
