Finance Directors
Overview:
We’re looking for Finance Directors to take the wheel and actually drive, not just sit in the passenger seat holding a bunch of spreadsheets. This isn’t a “make the numbers look nice and file them away” kind of job. It’s a “know the business and products to build financial models, performance analysis interactions to drive business forward, and think through proper investment areas” kind of job.
One day you could be maintaining real-time cash flow forecasts across multiple companies, not once a quarter, always. Then you could own the entire flow of internal and external reporting, start to finish. Another day you’re impacting revenue by digging deep into invoice design and notification flows. No hand-offs, no “that’s not my job.” It’s your job.
Maybe you’ll handle tax stuff, but not the boring, compliance-only version. You’ll think about tax the smart way, the “how do we keep more of our money and not get wrecked by surprises” way.
You’ll need to know how we make, keep, and expand the money – we are different and proud of our approach. You’ll get under the hood, figure out what actually drives this business, and help us keep our edge, our Death Star, sharp and ready.
We get it, maybe you can’t check all those experiences but you check enough of them and have the internal drive that you can partner up with another director who compliments those super talents you bring. You’ll help us run a lean, efficient, scrappy finance operation that keeps up with a company that moves fast.
If you like taking action, simplifying the complex, and using numbers to build a better business, not just a prettier spreadsheet that you read to someone, this might be the job you’ve been waiting for.

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, put it on the shelf with closed doors – no trophy’s here, 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, operate nationwide with 1500 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 but you’ve never been put in the game.
