Administrative Assistant / Operations Support

Administrative Assistant / Operations Support

We’re looking for a reliable, organized, and curious Administrative Assistant / Operations Support to help keep day-to-day operations running smoothly while working closely with the founder.

This role is more than traditional admin work—you’ll handle essential tasks while also contributing ideas to improve workflows, project management, and overall operations. You don’t need to have all the answers, but you should enjoy learning, brainstorming, and helping us figure out better ways to get things done.

We’re a small, specialized accounting firm with a small offshore team, based in Woodland Hills. This is a part-time, in-office role, with flexible schedules that allow for collaboration and independent work:

• Option 1: Three 6-hour days per week (18 hours)
• Option 2: One 8-hour day plus two 6-hour days (20 hours)
• Core collaboration hours are 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM with the founder; you’ll have overlapping hours for teamwork and independent work time. Offshore team works from 6AM-3PM pacific time.

Over time, occasional remote work may be considered, but the role will start fully in-person. We’re looking for someone collaborative yet comfortable working independently and respecting focused work time.

Why This Role is Exciting
