This role is ideal for a strong Controller or finance leader who has already begun operating strategically and is looking to continue growing into a broader VP of Finance capacity over time. We’re looking for someone who enjoys being close to the business operations — not just overseeing the numbers, but helping leadership make practical, data-informed decisions that support sustainable company growth, operational efficiency, and long-term financial health. The ideal candidate thrives in a growing and evolving business environment, is comfortable building and improving processes, and prefers a collaborative and hands-on approach.

• Partner closely with leadership to evaluate pricing strategies, profitability, operational performance, and financial efficiency across the business.
• Develop practical financial models and analyses to support decision-making related to investments, operational improvements, and business growth.
• Identify opportunities to improve financial systems, reporting workflows, automation, and overall scalability.

Cash Flow & Risk Management

• Oversee cash flow management, working capital planning, and overall financial health of the organization.
• Monitor financial and operational risks while supporting appropriate controls, coverage, and mitigation strategies.

Leadership & Team Development

• Help build a scalable, collaborative, and high-performing finance function as the company continues to grow.

Soft Skills

• Strategic and forward-thinking leader with strong business acumen.
• High attention to detail with a strong sense of integrity, accountability, and ownership.
• Effective communicator with the ability to influence at all levels.
• Strong decision-making and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
