Position Overview
Due to continued growth, Trusteer Financial is expanding our team and is seeking a full-time Business Operations Manager to lead client onboarding, engagement coordination, and high-priority operational workflows across the firm. This role combines core client operations responsibilities with selected Chief of Staff-style functions, making it ideal for a highly organized operator who can keep people, systems, and deliverables moving.

The Business Operations Manager is responsible for creating structure, maintaining visibility across active workstreams, supporting sales and onboarding operations, and ensuring administrative and operational follow-through on client matters.
As a Business Operations Manager, you will...
Lead client onboarding workflows, including checklist management, document collection, engagement paperwork, folder setup, and coordination of system access across accounting, payroll, banking, and tax platforms.
Serve as an operational point of contact for clients regarding deadlines, deliverables, missing items, status updates, and administrative process questions.
Maintain internal project management systems (Clickup) by creating and updating recurring projects, tracking deliverables, and following up with team members and clients on outstanding tasks.
Coordinate cross-functional workflows across accounting, tax, payroll, and leadership teams to help ensure client work progresses on schedule.
Manage tax notice intake and tracking by organizing documentation, routing notices to the right internal owner, monitoring resolution progress, and maintaining complete records.
Support systems and access administration across QuickBooks Online, payroll platforms, banking portals, state tax portals, CRM tools, and document-sharing environments.
Own online folder organization and file hygiene across client engagements, ensuring digital records are logically structured, accessible, and complete.
Maintain the CRM and related business development trackers, including pipeline updates, connector tracking, and event or outreach lists.
Coordinate internal and external meetings, conference calls, and select firm events, including scheduling logistics, materials support, and follow-up items.
Prepare, edit, and organize internal and external documents such as onboarding materials, process memos, client-facing communications, and sales or marketing collateral.
Assist with billing administration tasks such as invoice maintenance, narrative edits, time transfer coordination, invoice uploads, and status monitoring, without owning core AR processing.
Help identify process gaps, improve workflow documentation, and support operational initiatives that increase visibility, accountability, and efficiency across the firm.
