Why This Opportunity?

High-growth environment with significant opportunity ahead
Build and scale the finance function, processes and team
Ideal opportunity for a strong Director/VP-level finance leader ready for the CFO step
Modern, technology-forward operating environment

Remote — candidates nationally
Approximately $300K base salary + 50% bonus opportunity

What You'll Do

As CFO / Head of Finance, you will take ownership of the organization's financial infrastructure and help position the business for continued growth.

Key responsibilities will include:

Develop and execute the organization's overall financial strategy.
Build scalable accounting and finance processes capable of supporting continued growth.
Establish appropriate financial controls, reporting structures and forecasting processes.
Lead and develop the finance/accounting function as the organization scales.
Partner closely with executive leadership on strategic business decisions.
Provide accurate, actionable financial analysis and business insights.
Oversee budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management and financial planning.
Identify opportunities to improve profitability, efficiency and financial performance.
Build processes and systems that increase visibility and accountability across the organization.
Help determine the appropriate structure, technology and talent required for a high-performing finance organization.
Serve as a strategic business partner to executive leadership rather than simply functioning as a traditional accounting leader.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will bring:

Strong accounting and finance foundation.
Proven experience in a high-growth, scaling or early-stage business environment.
Experience building or significantly improving finance/accounting processes.
Experience developing and leading teams.
Strong financial planning, forecasting and analytical capabilities.
Ability to operate strategically while remaining hands-on when necessary.
Executive presence and strong communication skills.
Demonstrated ability to work in an environment where processes are still being built and refined.
A track record of successfully navigating growth, change and organizational complexity.

The ideal profile may be a Director or VP of Finance who has already been operating at a high level and is ready for the opportunity to officially step into a CFO role.

Industry experience within a law firm is not required. The priority is finding a finance leader who knows how to build, scale and operate within a rapidly growing organization.
