Finance Directors

Overview:

We’re looking for a Finance Director to help understand and drive our onboarding, activation, adoption, customer success, retention, renewal, and collection efforts. Ah, but if you jump to any conclusion here and think we actually have those efforts already in any kind of sane, super smart operation already happening… You would be painfully mistaken when you took the job. It’s not that you’d be building the airplane as we fly it. You would also be sourcing the parts, bringing some sanity to a couple hundred people’s efforts and plans, and helping them understand the story the data is telling us, and then maybe strapped onto the plane with a square knot because that’s all the guy holding the rope knew how to tie. No. You don’t get an overhand knot. It’s just a square knot.

The real question here is: Can you see the story the numbers tell you? If not, this job will be miserable for you. It’s easy to find people who can report numbers. Hard to find people who can see the story and then see the moves the story tells us to make. We seek you. The storyteller.  But more importantly, you also need to be a do-er. You’ll need to see the next moves and then be able to navigate a feral squirrely company. You’ll need to be a scrappy schemer.

You’ll need to work well with people but also really enjoy and thrive in an environment where you’re making it up as you go. You’ll have to be comfortable relentlessly seeking the best outcomes and learning from your failures, as there will be a lot here. We handle millions and millions of customers’ businesses and somewhere around 100 million transactions a year. It’s high, high volume and about 1500 people running around trying to channel the energy. By the time we find the right person for this role, it will probably 2,000 employees and by the time you know left from right, it might be more like 2500-3000 employees so you better be drowning in corporate boringness currently and go home every day just feeling like you have to stuff yourself with 3 times as much bad food as you should have because you’re so freaking depressed about drowning in your current companies soulless boring corporate bureaucracy. If you feel that. Put that second cheeseburger down and come home. Come where it matters. We’re a small family-owned and operated company that competes with corporate soulless giants. Help us understand churn and renewals, efficiency on our spending, and help us keep our profit in line so we can keep our millions of customers out of harm’s way. Institutional investors, Venture Capital, Private Equity, and Public companies ruin America. We stand as the last great firewall to hold the line against the corporate greed of how the system we all live in works. But it’s hard. It’s tough when your competitors make 1.5 billion of free cash flow every year. That should excite you. Not freak you out. We don’t just screw with Corporate Giants. Executives get fired because we screw up quarters and years by providing next-level services at prices that investor-owned companies don’t care to offer. We use their corporate robot brainwashed playbook against them.

Why you might like this job:

Have you sold your soul to the Corporate Robot Corporations, created a great-looking resume and LinkedIn profile, but still drive your Toyota or Subaru home at night feeling like there’s something missing? Or worse yet, maybe you sold your soul to the Corporate Robot Corporations and now you’re driving a BMW or Audi home and not just feeling like something is missing, you’re also feeling the burden of a depreciating asset you bought to make you feel better for selling your soul to a Corporate Robot Factory.

What we have to offer that might help bring fulfillment to you is an opportunity. An opportunity to use the academic intelligence you’ve accumulated, some street smarts you’ve known you have had but it’s been sitting rotting idle, and come use finance and models to tell a story and find a strategy that is meaningful and impactful. We offer influence and impact. We’re a small family-owned and operated company that operates nationwide with 1,500 employees competing with giants. We service millions and millions of small businesses across America the right way. We help our customers create a business identity where they own their intellectual property and are building their business for themselves, not for a proprietary system they get duped into overpaying for as they grow. But the public companies we compete with are monsters. We have to be nimble, fast, scrappy, creative, and we have to out-flank our monster competitors with their billions of free cash flow to blow every year. Yeah. They have billions. It’s a tough job. But it’s fulfilling and meaningful. Do you like a challenge? Do you enjoy learning? When you make a dinner for your guests and ask them what they think of it, if they all told you it was great, would that piss you off? If it does. You get it. And this job is perfect for you. Come home. This is your sport. Come join your tribe you’ve been looking for, and let’s piss off some big corporations and get more executives fired for missing their quarters.
