Why Paro?

The hardest jobs are the ones we can’t do. That’s why small and midsize businesses come to us to help solve their finance-related needs. And that’s why we need you, someone who can help us manage our ever-growing client base as we continue to support the businesses who rely on us and our network of highly vetted finance professionals.

Paro is seeking to grow its team of Business Account Managers. Business Account Managers are directly responsible for managing relationships with new and existing clients that utilize Paro’s network of freelancers for projects ranging from outsourced monthly bookkeeping to essential CFO work. Clients are relying on both the freelancers and Business Account Managers as the experts so a solid financial foundation is super important, as is the ability to communicate expectations and break down complicated financial jargon.

Collaboration is key to Paro’s team. Together we curate an open environment and encourage constant feedback in order to guarantee success for all of our clients. Business Account Managers are the core of our Operations team, and will work cross-departmentally to ensure flawless execution and fulfillment on every project.

If you’re a team-player with good communication, a strong work ethic, and you’re excited to work at the intersection of Client Management and Finance Operations, then we want you. Passion for startups is a huge plus!
