Part-Time Content Writer for Professional Advisor (Remote)

About the Role

This role is for a writer who can help a small M&A advisory firm speak clearly and confidently to business owners. The focus is on content that helps owners think about readiness, value, and transition without pressure or salesy language. The audience is thoughtful, often tired, and busy. The writing needs to respect that.

You will work directly with an advisor who has a strong point of view and clear feedback. Your job is to turn his ideas, notes, and edits into clean, owner-friendly content that sounds like him.

What You’ll Write

  • Short guides, checklists, and self-assessments for business owners (not technical white papers)
  • Newsletter sections and email sequences around small business, exit readiness, and value
  • Simple one-pagers and worksheets (e.g., “questions to ask yourself before you think about selling”)
  • Thoughtful LinkedIn posts or article drafts tied to “special” business holidays (Small Business Week, National Entrepreneur Day, etc.)
  • Occasional website copy refreshes or landing page sections (e.g., calls to action, “next steps” copy)

Style We’re Looking For

  • Clean, concrete, confident. Say what you mean. Avoid vague phrases like “may,” “likely,” “usually,” “actually” when they weaken the point.
  • Plain language, not jargon. Business owners should not need a finance or legal background to follow the writing.
  • Respectful of the reader’s time. Short sentences, clear structure, and only as many steps as an owner could reasonably take on their own.
  • Gentle but direct. No scare tactics or hard sell. The tone is calm, informed, and steady, with clear points of view.
  • Specific over abstract. “Call your CPA and ask these two questions…” beats “improve financial clarity” with no examples.

If you naturally hedge every sentence, overuse adverbs, or write like a brochure, this is not the right fit.

What You’ll Actually Do Week to Week

  • Take existing drafts and comments and produce a clean, final version in his voice.
  • Turn rough outlines or bullet notes into publishable content (guides, emails, posts).
  • Suggest ways to simplify or tighten paragraphs when something feels vague or heavy.
  • Occasionally help structure calls to action that feel confident and clear, not hesitant and non‑committal.
  • Keep a simple content tracker so nothing falls through the cracks.

Requirements

  • Strong writing skills with a portfolio that shows clear, concise, business-facing work.
  • Ability to adopt and maintain a specific voice based on detailed feedback and tracked changes.
  • Comfortable working with documents full of comments and questions and turning them into finished pieces.
  • Basic understanding of small business, professional services, or B2B audiences (M&A / valuation background is a plus but not required).
  • Reliable, self‑managed, and responsive to feedback.

Nice to Have

  • Experience writing for professional services (CPAs, attorneys, bankers, consultants) or for business owners directly.
  • Familiarity with using “special days” (Small Business Week, Manufacturing Day, etc.) as content hooks
  • Comfort outlining simple self-assessment tools or checklists for non‑technical audiences.

Hours and Logistics

  • Approx. 10–15 hours per week to start, at $20/hour.
  • Flexible schedule; deadlines matter more than specific working hours.
  • Remote; collaboration via email, Zoom, and shared documents.

How to Apply

Please include:

  • A short note (3–5 sentences) on why this type of writing interests you.
  • Your resume

Once receive that, we will ask for 2–3 writing samples that show clear, plain-language business writing. If you have anything written for small business owners, CPAs, attorneys, or other advisors, highlight that. Will also want to know one or two sentences on how you approach incorporating detailed client feedback into your writing.

Pay: $20.00 per hour

Benefits:

  • Flexible schedule

Work Location: Remote
