We focus on three segments: 1) Public charities; 2) Private schools, including religious schools; and 3) Churches/religious organizations. We partner with our clients, bringing outstanding breadth and depth of expertise, and allowing them to focus on their mission. Missionwell presently has 11 clients. Many but not all of our clients are Christian ministries or churches. This reflects personal networks but also the beliefs of the founder and managing member. To be a senior leader at Missionwell requires compatible belief and value systems. We believe nonprofits (particularly the segments we have chosen to target) contribute much of what is good to society, and desire to support this through our services. We believe in strong and trusting relationships that demonstrate God’s love. We believe our services should raise the performance bar for clients and allow them to thrive. In the next five years, our goal is to build a preeminent presence in Southern California. Other than focus and ability to profitably recover travel costs, there is no restriction on expansion outside of Southern California. The market potential is huge and nonprofits are a growth segment. The Head of Operations a top leaders of Missionwell, and will participate in key decision making and strategic and operational planning for Missionwell, as part of the Leadership Team. Most Missionwell employees will report to the Head of Operations. Operating Plans Operating plans for 2010 call for: Basic IT systems installed and configured. We have chosen Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains as the backbone of our technology system. Licensing and installation was completed in the second half of 2009. All current client companies will be configured and moved from Quick Books onto GP by the end of the first quarter, 2010. (Small client payroll will remain on Quick Books.) Work processes are being redesigned to accommodate more rapid and efficient scale up. Small client set up has been extensively redesigned and will be completed by the first half, 2010. Light redesign of operations, including synchronization of client work elements by day will occur in the first half, 2010. Implementation of web-based document sharing and transaction initiation (expense reports, time entry, etc) is targeted for 2010. Position Requirements Ability to scale up operations. Missionwell has worked with an "as needed" model, whereby functionality is added once its clear there is a need. As a result, scale up occurs in modules. This is expected to continue for several years. The successful candidate will have experience in scaling up operations, including work standardization and automation. Client management. Missionwell’s business model allows for significant flexibility around our core work practices but certain aspects of our services are less flexible. We educate clients on laws, regulations and strong practices for nonprofits.. We also educate clients on the benefits of standard core work practices, from a cost and control perspective. With every client, our goal is to have a strong and mutually trusting relationship. Like every relationship, it takes maturity on both parties’ side to make this happen. The successful candidate must possess the judgment and maturity to know when to bend on issues and when to hold firm, always keeping in mind the twin goals of mutual trust and the highest professional service. People management. The Head of Operations will have the managerial responsibility for managing most staff of Missionwell. Training and development of staff are important for long term performance and satisfaction. It is imperative for the person to have excellent people management skills. Nonprofit expertise. Nonprofit accounting, laws, regulations and standards are different and/or supplemental to the for-profit sector, and thus there is a specialty need to understand IRS and state requirements for nonprofits. The Head of Operations brings this expertise to staff and clients. Increasingly, this will consist of small modules of training to staff and clients to avoid one off issues, which can be time consuming. Payroll and HR expertise. Certain labor laws and regulations vary for religious organizations, particularly churches (minister housing allowance, deputized payroll, state unemployment fund participation, etc). Knowledge of basic labor laws and employment practices is an important part of the expertise. Accounting and financial statement preparation. A basic service we offer is financial statement preparation, to generally accepted accounting standards. While some clients get audits and have CPAs on retainer, others do not, and for those that do not, we are their sole source of accounting expertise. The Head of Operations provides quality assurance that accounting and reporting are efficient and effective in meeting client needs and external standards. Project management. As the organization scales up, projects reach a size where application of strong project management standards is required. This skill set is desired in the Head of Operations. Managing via policies, controls, training and delegations. As the organization grows, it becomes more critical to implement managerial tools to manage across multiple employees, and the successful candidate will have had exposure to some or all of these management tools with an understanding of how to implement. Responsibilities  Consulting and special projects for clients (direct and delegated). Near term, up to half of the time of the Head of Operations might be spent on billable client work, reducing as further clients are added and more staff is hired.  Staff supervision. Quality of work of staff (including accuracy of accounting & financial statement review), standard hour and rate performance, managing any client satisfaction issues, staff training and development  Balancing and optimizing work.
