What is a School Finance Remote job?

A School Finance Remote job involves managing and overseeing the financial operations of schools or educational institutions from a remote location. This role typically includes tasks such as budgeting, financial reporting, payroll processing, and ensuring compliance with education funding regulations. Professionals in this field use digital tools and communication platforms to collaborate with on-site staff and administrators. Working remotely allows flexibility while still maintaining the financial health and transparency of the school. This role is essential for school districts looking to optimize resources and maintain fiscal responsibility.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a School Finance Remote professional, and why are they important?

To thrive as a School Finance Remote professional, you need expertise in accounting, budgeting, and financial analysis, typically supported by a degree in finance, accounting, or a related field. Familiarity with financial management software, spreadsheets, and possibly certifications like CPA or SFO are commonly required. Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and effective communication are essential soft skills for remote collaboration and accuracy. These competencies ensure transparent financial operations, compliance with regulations, and the effective allocation of school resources.

What is the difference between School Finance Remote vs School Finance Coordinator?

AspectSchool Finance RemoteSchool Finance Coordinator
CredentialsBachelor's degree often required; some roles prefer finance or education backgroundBachelor's degree in finance, education, or related field; certifications may be preferred
Work EnvironmentRemote, flexible location, often part-time or full-timeTypically on-site at schools or district offices, with some remote options
Employer & Industry UsageSchool districts, education agencies, remote job boardsSchool districts, educational institutions, administrative offices

School Finance Remote roles focus on financial tasks related to education but are performed remotely, offering flexibility. School Finance Coordinators work on-site or in district offices, managing budgets and financial planning directly within schools. Both roles require similar credentials but differ mainly in work environment and daily responsibilities.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in a remote school finance role, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in remote school finance positions often face challenges related to communication, data security, and staying updated on district policies. Working remotely can make it harder to coordinate with on-site staff or quickly resolve issues that require in-person collaboration. To address these challenges, it's important to establish clear communication channels, regularly attend virtual meetings, and utilize secure financial management software endorsed by the school district. Staying proactive about policy changes and maintaining strong relationships with both finance and administrative teams can help ensure efficiency and compliance.

Job description

EdOpsSchool Finance Manager
EdOps's School Finance Manager position is ideal for school finance leaders ready to bring their expertise to a portfolio of schools and shape our nationwide finance offering alongside committed and experienced finance peers.
The School Finance Manager serves a portfolio of 5-8 schools, acting as those schools' outsourced CFOs. Like on-staff CFOs, they leverage team members to analyze backwards-looking financial data and deliver strategic financial advice aligned with their schools' mission and goals, build relationships with school leaders and boards, proactively notice and solve client problems, and generally act as key members of clients' leadership teams. Internally, School Finance Managers drive innovations to our products, and the development and refinement of best practices when it comes to school finance.
Reports to Finance Director or above. Location flexible (this is a remote position). Part time arrangements possible for exceptional candidates.
Who we are:
EdOps is a B-Corp which partners with schools to provide expert support in finance, accounting, and student data management, helping education leaders make informed decisions while minimizing the financial, operational, and compliance burdens of running a school. Simply put, we make it easier for school leaders to increase student achievement. Our experience working with a wide range of schools - from newly authorized charter schools to independent schools with century-long histories, and from microschools to multi-campus networks - allows us to provide high-quality finance, accounting, and student data support across diverse educational environments.
Our team of over 100 professionals currently serves over 100 independent and public charter schools and networks across D.C., Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Michigan, New Jersey, and New York. We are serious about being the best possible partners to schools, and it shows in our 93% annual client retention rate. We work hard at being a rewarding, enjoyable workplace where staff can grow professionally and make an impact. We are looking for education focused, accounting and finance loving, collaborative people to join our team.
What you will do:
  • Act as an outsourced CFO for a portfolio of 5-8 schools, advising these schools' leaders and Boards on matters pertaining to financial and operational policies, strategic decisions, and long-term financial planning.
  • Produce forward-looking financial forecasts, set budgets, and lead finance strategy development in a way that aligns with school goals and reflects EdOps's commitment to equity and anti-racism.
  • Attend finance committee or board meetings to present and explain finance strategy.
  • Analyze, model, and solve problems on a wide range of business issues.
  • Engage in client listening and endeavor to proactively identify and solve clients' financial challenges - either directly, or through engaging other teams at EdOps.
  • Provide development and informal oversight to School Finance Specialists and School Finance Analysts on school-specific processes. (For clarity, Finance Specialists and Finance Analysts report to dedicated People Managers; this position's oversight of their work is relatively informal.)
  • Actively contribute to EdOps's internal research, development and innovation of our finance product.

What you will accomplish:
  • By Year 1 you will have:
    • Solve small, real problems for schools on a daily basis.
    • Advise school leaders on nuanced, long term strategic financial decisions (i.e., facilities projects, staffing models, school expansion).
    • Develop close, trusting partnership with C-Level school leadership which will allow you to provide the best advice and support.
    • Present important financial information to a school's Board of Directors.
    • Sharpen you expertise in strategic school finance, from multi-year budget development to internal process refinement
    • Work with 5-8 schools in different stages of growth and with different academic models.
  • By Year 3 you will have:
    • Contribute to the development and refinement of EdOps's standard finance product, as well as our suite of best practices.
    • Lead project-based or market development work beyond your school portfolio..
    • Continue to solve real problems, small and large, for schools every day.

Who you are:
  • Care about education and outcomes for students as much as you care about budgets, forecasts and efficient financial processes.
  • Find joy in solving financial problems for individual schools. The little things make schools actually work.
  • Able to zoom in and out between high level strategic perspective and detailed, daily financial work.
  • Desire to be involved in the financial processes from input to analysis. We are outsourced CFOs but sometimes we are also controllers, accountants, and everything in between.
  • Strong in independent problem solving. We are a very collaborative community that supports each other, but our School Finance Managers are independent and solve new problems every day.
  • Energized by being in a customer service role. We are here first and foremost to serve our school clients.
  • Committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Open to learning and growing in these areas together so that each of us can contribute to building a culture of equity and support our schools in advancing these values. Please see more on EdOps' commitment here.

What you need:
  • Experience excelling in a School Finance Management role (i.e., led finance function for a school, led part of a finance function in larger school organization)
  • Experience as part of a School Leadership Team or working very closely with a School Leadership Team.
  • Comfort with accounting. A CPA or extensive expertise is not required, but experience navigating accounting software and reading and analyzing financial reports is a must.
  • Intermediate Excel knowledge, such as formulas like vlookups and sumifs, because Excel will be your best friend at times.
  • Strong quantitative analysis, strategic thinking, and problem-solving skills, as every school is different, and approaches and solutions often have to be customized.
  • Excellent client communication and interpersonal skills. Comfort presenting and explaining information (both verbally and in writing) to people with varying financial literacy.
  • Comfort interacting with, advising, and challenging C-Level leaders in schools.
  • Strong organization and time management skills. There is a lot going on here.
  • General comfort with technology systems (e.g., Google suite) because we are not big fans of paper around here at EdOps.
  • Typically, School Finance Managers have 10-15 years of work or post-secondary educational experience.
  • Experience leading audits.

What you get:
  • Purpose driven work focusing on student achievement through operational excellence. That is what it is all about.
  • Chance to work every day with colleagues who are committed to kids and supportive of each other's efforts.
  • EdOps salaries are commensurate with relative experience and geographic location. The range for the School Finance Manager position is $91,135-122,000/year.
  • Check out other perks of working at EdOps here. And some details on benefits here.

We know that a team from a wide range of backgrounds with different life experiences, identities, opinions, and talents makes us better able to innovate and deliver on our mission of supporting schools to improve student outcomes. Every day we work to build an inclusive company culture where everyone can be themselves at work and do their best work.
