• Model the runway so Savills always knows its next funding date
• Build and maintain budgets, forecasts, and variance analyses for Savills
• Turn quarter-end into the calmest week of the finance cycle
• Tighten the revenue-recognition policy as new finance deals get complex
• Manage banking relationships and optimize treasury operations
• Stand up internal controls that survive a surprise audit

What You'll Bring

• Proven Consolidations results, ideally seasoned in Richmond, CA
• Real proficiency with Emotional Intelligence, plus willingness to learn Hyperion fast
• A collaborator who makes the mid-level review feel less like an exam

Founded in Richmond, CA during a downturn, Savills grew scrappy-but-steady and lean while flashier finance rivals burned out. You'll never have to guess where you stand with your manager in this hybrid role.

Expect $94,000 - $138,000 plus full medical, dental, and vision benefits, generous paid time off, and real mentorship from day one.
