ABOUT HORIZON FIVE
Horizon Five is a practitioner-led consulting firm helping organizations improve performance through data, analytics, automation, AI, business process redesign, and practical transformation. We are not traditional consultants. Our team brings hands-on operating experience and partners with clients to solve real problems, strengthen controls, improve workflows, and build sustainable capability.
ROLE OVERVIEW
Horizon Five is seeking a manager-level practitioner who can be client-facing while staying close to the work. This role is ideal for a enior analyst ready for a manager promotion, or a hands-on manager with SOX, audit, controls, finance transformation, ERP, analytics, and automation experience.
The right candidate can lead projects across 2-3 clients while directly building workflows, documenting processes, improving controls, and helping implement sustainable automation and reporting solutions. This person should be comfortable designing controls around both manual and automated processes, including workflows, dashboards, data pipelines, analytics outputs, and automated finance/accounting activities built in tools such as Alteryx, Sigma, Power BI, Tableau, SQL, Workato, Excel/Power Query, ERP reporting tools, and similar platforms.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Lead and execute SOX controls improvement, internal controls, and audit-readiness projects for finance, accounting, internal audit, and operations clients.
Assess current-state processes, identify control gaps, map risk points, and document future-state workflows that improve accuracy, efficiency, accountability, and compliance.
Design, enhance, and document controls over both manual and automated processes, including IT-dependent controls, IT application controls, automated workflow controls, reporting controls, data validation controls, approval workflows, exception handling, evidence capture, audit trails, and segregation of duties.
Help clients implement practical controls around analytics, automation, and reporting tools such as Alteryx, Sigma, Power BI, Tableau, SQL, Workato, Excel/Power Query, Fivetran, ERP reporting tools, and similar platforms.
Evaluate automated processes to determine where controls should be embedded, including input controls, data completeness and accuracy checks, transformation logic reviews, reconciliation controls, output validations, access controls, change management, monitoring, and exception reporting.
Partner with Finance, Accounting, IT, Internal Audit, SOX, process owners, auditors, and technical resources to translate control requirements into practical workflow, ERP, analytics, and automation solutions.
Support the design and implementation of controls over automated journal entries, reconciliations, close activities, reporting packages, data extracts, dashboards, financial models, workflow approvals, and other recurring finance and accounting processes.
Build and improve workflows, process maps, risk and control matrices, control narratives, testing documentation, dashboard requirements, automation requirements, data validation logic, evidence templates, and user-ready outputs directly, not just oversee the work.
Support ERP transformation and system implementation efforts by helping clients redesign roles, processes, controls, reporting, governance, and operating rhythms for scalable operations.
Use data, automation, analytics, and AI-enabled tools to reduce manual effort, improve control execution, streamline close and reporting cycles, and help clients move from reactive work to sustainable, controlled operating models.
Develop practical governance models for automated processes, including intake, risk tiering, ownership, development standards, testing expectations, production migration, change management, access reviews, monitoring, and periodic control review.
Manage project plans, client communication, issue tracking, status updates, quality reviews, and delivery timelines across multiple active workstreams.
Coach analysts and technical team members while staying hands-on enough to step in when projects need direct execution, documentation, analysis, or problem-solving.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
8+ years of experience in SOX, internal audit, external audit, internal controls, finance transformation, accounting transformation, ERP implementation, risk advisory, automation governance, reporting controls, or process improvement.
Strong understanding of SOX requirements, control design, control testing, audit evidence, risk assessments, remediation plans, control documentation, and audit readiness.
Experience designing or evaluating controls over automated processes, including IT application controls, IT-dependent controls, automated workflow controls, reporting controls, data validation checks, reconciliation controls, and exception-based monitoring.
Experience with finance/accounting processes such as record-to-report, order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, revenue accounting, close/consolidation, account reconciliations, FP&A, operational reporting, or management reporting.
Working knowledge of ERP platforms and transformation environments such as SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, NetSuite, Workday, Microsoft Dynamics, or similar systems.
Working knowledge of analytics, automation, reporting, and workflow tools such as Alteryx, Sigma, Power BI, Tableau, SQL, Workato, Fivetran, Smartsheet, Excel/Power Query, ERP reporting tools, or similar platforms.
Ability to review automation and reporting logic at a practical level, including inputs, transformations, joins, calculations, outputs, approvals, dependencies, and audit evidence.
Ability to work directly with clients, facilitate working sessions, ask good questions, document the answer, and turn ambiguity into executable next steps.
Strong written communication skills, including process documentation, control narratives, testing support, status updates, project plans, remediation plans, and executive-ready summaries.
CPA, CIA, CISA, public accounting, Big Four, advisory, controllership, internal audit, SOX, or corporate transformation experience preferred.

Tips for Your Remote Financial Manager Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote financial manager openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly. Remote postings fill faster than on-site ones, so moving quickly on a good fit matters.
Show async financial communication skills
Remote employers expect financial managers to deliver clear written commentary on budgets, variances, and forecasts without a meeting. Include examples in your application materials of financial narratives or executive summaries you wrote that drove a decision or action.
Demonstrate fluency with cloud finance tools
Call out specific platforms you have used, such as NetSuite, Adaptive Insights, Workday Financials, or Sage Intacct. Remote teams depend on these tools for real-time visibility, and naming them signals you can contribute from day one without a systems learning curve.
Highlight cross-functional remote collaboration
Remote financial managers routinely partner with distributed sales, operations, and legal teams without shared office time. Describe situations where you aligned stakeholders across departments or time zones to complete a close, a budget cycle, or a financial review.
Remote Financial Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote financial manager job?
Target companies that already run distributed finance teams, such as remote-first SaaS companies, fintech startups, and professional services firms with multi-state operations. Remote employers screen financial managers for strong async communication, self-directed reporting, and the ability to present financial data clearly in writing. Proficiency with cloud-based financial platforms and a history of managing close cycles or budgets without in-person oversight gives candidates a clear edge.
Which companies hire remote financial managers?
Employers currently hiring remote financial managers include Ameriprise Financial, CVS Health, and Egnyte, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Remote-first firms, distributed technology companies, and multi-state healthcare and professional services organizations make up the largest share of remote financial manager openings.
Can you get a remote financial manager job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level financial manager roles are harder to land because you must demonstrate self-direction from day one without in-person coaching. Smaller remote-first companies and startups are the most likely to consider candidates with limited experience. Showing ownership of a budget, a financial analysis project, or measurable results from an analyst or coordinator role can substitute for direct managerial experience.
Do you need a degree for remote financial manager jobs?
Not always, though most remote financial manager postings list a bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, or a related field as a baseline expectation. Remote employers increasingly weigh demonstrated skills alongside credentials, so a CPA, CMA, or MBA can offset a non-traditional educational background. A portfolio of budget oversight, forecasting work, or financial reporting results matters more to many hiring managers than the degree itself.
Which industries hire the most remote financial managers?
Most remote financial manager openings sit in Insurance, Technology & Software, and Distribution & Wholesale, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors rely on distributed teams and need financial managers who can oversee reporting, budgeting, and compliance across multiple locations without being on-site.
