This is not a bookkeeper role. It’s for a high-caliber finance operator who thinks like a CFO, executes like an elite controller, and builds infrastructure that scales. Why This Role Exists The business needs someone to fully own finance end-to-end: close, reporting, controls, cash, payroll coordination, AP/AR, systems, process design, and financial clarity for leadership. Over time, this person can help build and lead a finance team. What You’ll Own (Responsibilities) Finance ownership & close

• Own full-cycle accounting: AP, AR, payroll coordination, treasury, month-end close, reporting, reconciliations

• Build dashboards for KPIs: cash, margins, labor metrics, budget vs actual, trends
• Translate numbers into operational insight and action for leadership

Systems & automation

• Optimize and integrate tools (QuickBooks, Ramp, payroll systems, AP automation)
• Reduce manual work through process redesign, templates, and integrations
• Improve data integrity across finance workflows

Cash, forecasting & strategic finance

• Manage cash daily and create short and mid-term cash forecasts
• Build budgets and rolling forecasts with department owners
• Build models (3-statement, scenario/what-if, ROI, headcount/labor models, unit economics)

Tax & external partners

• Coordinate tax packages and filings with external CPAs; ensure organized readiness year-round
• Understand core US tax concepts and multi-state exposure (as relevant)

Vendor management & compliance

• Manage vendor onboarding (W-9s, 1099s, COIs, renewals), invoice validation, and procurement controls

Longer-term leadership

• Help hire, train, and manage remote/offshore finance support as the company scales

What Success Looks Like First 60–90 days

• Close is consistent and reliable, with reconciled accounts and clean reporting
• Core workflows and controls are documented, repeatable, and enforced
• Leadership has clarity on cash, margin, labor, and key operational drivers

6–12 months

• Scalable finance infrastructure exists: approvals, SOPs, dashboards, forecasting cadence
• Fewer surprises, better decisions driven by financial intelligence
• Foundations in place to build a finance team around you
