Chief Financial Officer

Back to Jobs

Overview:

Corporate Tools is a privately held, debt-free, self-funded company that has grown from 55 employees to 500 employees in the past 3 years. Along with this exponential growth, we’re also looking to scale globally. Pivotal to our continued success is the placement of an exceptional Chief Financial Officer.

What does exceptional look like for our organization? Fundamental financial skills are paramount. But in addition to that, we’re searching for a seasoned strategic leader, excellent communicator and influencer who will help guide decision making using the financial context as an integral driver. We’re not looking for just a gatekeeper to the financials. We’re looking for a forward-thinking individual who wants to help lead the direction, success and relevance of the company.

It’s important to us that you’ve done this before. That you’ve grown a Software as a Service company before or been part of exponential growth within an organization. That you’ve been instrumental to the key decisions that dictate what direction and shape the organization will take for years to come. In previous roles, you’ve learned enough about the operational, technological and financial avenues that are already established within the organization to speak confidently about how they may be leveraged or eliminated, to the advantage of the company.

This position is coded as “Hybrid” which means after initial training and on-boarding, occasional remote work is available. However, this role will be expected to continue to work in our Post Falls, Idaho office 2-3 days/week.

If you’re still excited about this opportunity, keep reading.

Why you might like this job:

You’ve dreamed of being a CFO where you wouldn’t have to talk to investors and explain what you do or always tweak the balance sheets to get more loans, help investors sell off their shares, or raise additional rounds of funding. You’re tired of playing numbers games to help investors or meet ratio requirements. Instead, you’re looking for a role where the focus would be about taking care of the customer, taking care of the employees, and using profit to make it fun, not make investors rich.

You’ve dreamed of being a CFO where you could lead and mentor a talented team that works together to sustain better customer solutions and better jobs for all of our employees. You’ve wondered if there is an opportunity out there where you could help create an environment that cares about the process and the solution instead of just growing to meet the demands from above.

The value of our company is in our employees and in our customers. We’ve created a culture around taking care of each other and our customers and the profits have always naturally come so we don’t focus on profit. For the past decade, we have grown 35%-95% every year with never once holding a meeting about profit. That’s a lot of growth and we need someone experienced to help us steer that growth.

You’ll need to be able to manage millions of clients that are on a subscription-based service and hundreds of millions in revenue. We’ll need your help to focus on the growth we’ve experienced by connecting the data and understanding what our best services are while diversifying and strengthening our offerings. We’re looking for someone that can work with our team to identify how and where to continue to grow and how and where to dial things back.

The problems you’ll be asked to solve here will be challenging, but ultimately highly rewarding and fulfilling. If you’ve made it this far and are still interested… we look forward to talking with you.
