What You Will Own

• Finance: clean books with our bookkeeper, the monthly close, cash, payables, receivables and controls.
• FP&A: revenue, margin and cash flow models and forecasts, monthly actual versus forecast, unit economics and the capacity model that says when to hire.

• Plain answers for ownership on where the business stands and what to do about it.

What You Need

• You have run finance yourself: built the models, owned the close and answered to ownership for the numbers.
• Independent and driven. Nobody hands you a checklist.
• Strong Google Sheets or Excel, QuickBooks or Xero, and clear written and spoken English.
• Full time as your only job, with substantial overlap with US business hours. Services or agency finance is a plus.
