Small Business Advisor/Fractional COO
Who are you?
You are a thoughtful, considerate and insightful human being who enjoys helping small business owners understand, interpret and make courageous decisions based on what their personal, professional and financial goals are—and then helping them turn those decisions into operational execution—instead of allowing their feelings to run the show.
You are able to educate, “break it down” and connect the dots between the client's financials, their motivations, their operations and their team—and help the client make better decisions so they can realize their personal, professional and financial goals.
You are willing to question the client's beliefs, challenge their “stories”, test their assumptions and use your own life experiences (& maybe a little bit of humor) to help them explore their options and then implement a clear operational path forward.
You are experienced enough not to take it personally when a client is afraid to follow your advice and you also know that “just explaining things” isn't enough unless the client takes the necessary action(s) to produce results. No Execution = No Results.
You are a great communicator, an enthusiastic team player and a creative problem solver who takes 100% personal responsibility for yourself and you have trained yourself to look for and find the opportunity(ies) in every problem. You have a bias for growth and know that an entrepreneur can't cost-cut their way to prosperity; we can only execute our way there.
And yes! You can read, interpret, analyze, explain and spot the problems and the opportunities in a set of financials—and then translate those insights into operational improvements. You can go toe-to-toe with the client's bookkeeper about unacceptable variances on a bank rec and then help build the systems, processes and accountability needed to fix the problem(s) so you can get a set of financials you can use to help our clients spot trends, improve operations & take action.
No Action = No Results.
Who Are We?
We are How To Manage A Small Law Firm. But let's get this out of the way up-front: you don't need to have prior law firm management experience to qualify for this job. We can (and we will) teach you everything you need to know about small law firm financial management. (a good place to begin is by reading “Profit First For Lawyers”) For now, please just pretend we said “small business” instead of law firm because law firms are also businesses.
Bonus points if you already knew this. Most lawyers don't. Which is why we are looking for authentic human beings who possess a high degree of emotional intelligence to join our team instead of just hiring a bunch of technicians.
Our business was started from the co-founders' dining room table (literally) and has been named by Inc Magazine as one of the 5,000 Fastest Growing Privately Owned Companies. We currently help to manage more than 500 of some of the fastest-growing small law firms across all practice areas and from all across the Country.
We do not care about your race, religion, national origin or how you love. And we really like to work with parents of young children because we find they value the flexibility of this role and the fact that we offer an amazing benefits package, unlimited PTO and when our kids “Zoom Bomb” us in meetings, too.
We work hard, we play hard and we pay well. We are very much a values-driven organization with a sense of humor and a strong commitment to helping all our clients and everyone we employ make real, meaningful and measurable progress toward their (your) goals.
We take (and we give) 100% personal responsibility. We have high standards. When we make mistakes (yes, we make mistakes) we apologize, seek top learn from the mistake and then we work to make it right. We expect the same from everyone who works with us.
“Wow, this seems like an amazing opportunity. . . but what exactly is the job?!?!”
