Stack Growth Solutions is a US fractional CFO and advisory firm serving private equity and private credit backed companies. Our work spans running the accounting and finance function for multi-entity businesses, M&A due diligence, and deal closings. We are hiring a part time operations VA to run the day to day operations across all of it. You will work directly with the firm's owner.
This is a versatile seat at a fast-moving firm, not a narrow admin role. Every engagement runs on task systems: monthly close checklists, cleanup backlogs, recurring accounting tasks, and project boards in
You will own:
- Managing engagement task boards in
- Tracking the monthly close checklist across entities and following up with accounting staff on open and overdue items
- Supporting M&A due diligence and deal closings: maintaining diligence request trackers, organizing data rooms, chasing documents from sellers and advisors, and keeping closing checklists current
- Chasing down missing items: statements, documents, approvals, and responses needed to keep work moving
- Using Claude for day to day work: organizing information, and running the workflows we build for you
- Coordinating scheduling and meeting follow-ups across US time zones
- Light firm admin, including time tracking compilation and monthly invoice prep
The bar:
- 2+ years supporting US firms or executives remotely, ideally around accounting, finance, or operations teams
- Basic accounting fundamentals: you know what AR, AP, a reconciliation, and a financial statement are, and you can follow a conversation about them
- Genuinely tech-savvy and a fast learner; comfortable working inside task and project systems daily,
- Skilled with Claude or similar AI tools for real work, not just casual use
- Fast-moving and comfortable when priorities shift mid-day, especially during live deals
- Relentless about follow-up; you close loops without being reminded and surface problems before we find them
- Obsessive attention to detail; what you track and send must be accurate
- Proactive and self-managing
- Strong written English
- Available and reachable for at least 6 hours of daily overlap with US Eastern time
This is a long term seat with growing hours as the firm grows.
Process: application, short interview, paid trial week. Begin your application with the word ANCHOR.
To apply, answer the following in your cover letter. Answers without specifics will not be considered.
- Describe your system for tracking many open tasks across different people. Name the actual tools and the actual checkpoints, not a philosophy.
- Describe the most useful thing you currently do with Claude or a similar AI tool in your actual work. Be specific about the workflow, not the tool's features.
- Describe a time you had to repeatedly follow up with someone senior to you or outside your team to get something done. How did you stay persistent without being annoying?
- A task on the close checklist is three days overdue, the person responsible is not responding, and a deadline is approaching. What exactly do you do, step by step?
- Describe your exposure to accounting or finance work: what you handled, what tools were used, and what you understood about the numbers.
- Your longest remote engagement, and why it ended.
- Your hourly rate and your availability during US Eastern hours.
