Role Description

Are you a finance systems expert and a seasoned auditor or controller? When you find key discrepancies while auditing statements or reviewing business performance reports, do you insist on diving into the ERP system to find the key issue? When you see a manual process that causes your finance and accounting teams to struggle, do you leverage the stock functionality of your ERP to simplify away manual work? If you answer yes to these questions, we want you.

You will be part of Trilogy’s finance function, which today runs over 100 acquired software companies and continues to grow. We don’t run each company separately. Instead, we create a standard best practice for each task and process with a single, 100% remote team. That makes this job dramatically different. You will learn more in 1 month here than in a year working anywhere else.

Most companies consider being global and 100% remote a liability and are currently suffering through a transition forced on them by the pandemic. We’re different. In the early 2000s, we recognized that going global and remote was “The Future of Work” and went all-in. It is true that moving to a global, remote environment is really hard - you need to completely replace synchronous processes with asynchronous ones, verbal communication with written, and ambiguous goals with clear task assignment and quality expectations. But once you do all that, you can unlock a 24/7, 4-shift, 4x pace of execution. 

You don’t need to be an asynchronous work expert. You simply need to be hard-working, hands-on, and have solid accounting and finance fundamentals (US GAAP or IFRS), and we will teach you the rest. Whether you stay here until you retire, or you use your newly acquired skills as a gateway to your next international job, we are interested in meeting you!

Key responsibilities

Build a durable, AI-native finance function that compounds enterprise value across Trilogy's portfolio by allocating capital to its highest-return uses and creating financial systems and controls that scale without decision bottlenecks.

Description

Most finance executives inherit a system. You will redesign one, then decide where the capital goes.

Trilogy is looking for the executive who can turn a portfolio of businesses into a capital allocation system: continuously ranking where the next dollar should go, backing those decisions with rigorous models, and moving capital toward its highest-return uses. You will own the calls that matter: fund or kill a business line; invest or hold; acquire or walk away; refinance or pay down debt. Every recommendation must connect strategy to cash, liquidity, covenants, risk, and enterprise value.

Just as important, you will architect an AI-native finance function built to scale without decision bottlenecks. This does not mean sprinkling AI tools onto a traditional finance organization. You will redesign reporting, planning, controls, portfolio monitoring, and decision support around what AI and automation can now do. You won't need to personally build every workflow, but you must use AI deeply enough to know its edges: where it accelerates analysis, where it fails, and where expert judgment must take over. The result should be a smaller, more senior, higher-leverage finance organization rather than a growing pyramid of people and processes.

You will operate directly with Trilogy's CEO, board, lenders, and capital partners, with personal accountability for the financial truth behind major decisions. This is an $800K W-2 salaried role for someone who has already earned credibility at serious financial scale and now wants the mandate to compound enterprise value across an entire portfolio. If you want your impact measured by the quality of your capital decisions and the financial system you leave behind, apply.

Candidate requirements

  • Experience as the most senior finance decision-maker, or their direct deputy, for a business or portfolio with $100M+ in annual revenue across multiple legal entities.
  • Personal ownership of major capital-allocation decisions, including the ability to explain what was funded, reduced, or rejected; the dollars involved; the trade-offs; and your recommendation.
  • Decision ownership on at least one $25M+ closed M&A, financing, or refinancing transaction, with direct responsibility for negotiation, financing selection, board recommendation, or post-close integration.
  • Direct experience presenting to and taking live questions from a board of directors.
  • Ownership of an external audit relationship under US GAAP or IFRS, directly or through a Controller reporting to you.
  • Hands-on experience with a true enterprise ERP such as SAP, NetSuite, Oracle, Workday, or equivalent.
  • Recent experience re-architecting a finance workflow around AI, with enough regular personal AI use to understand where the technology is reliable, where it is not, and how those boundaries should shape finance-system design.
  • Ability to operate integrated 3-statement models and defend assumptions, downside scenarios, covenant math, capital structure, and recommendations under live questioning.
  • Strong written and verbal English, with experience communicating directly with CEOs, boards, lenders, or capital partners.
  • Located within the UTC−8 to UTC+3 time-zone range.
