CFO (Chief Financial Officer)

Lovingly • Full-time • Hopewell, NY, US • $225k - $260k / year • 3m ago

For The Finance Leader Who's Done Playing Defense 🛡️

You've watched AI 🤖 redefine every other domain — while finance stayed stuck in spreadsheets 📊.

You've pitched intelligent forecasting systems 🔮, only to hear "that's not how we do things."

You've modeled brilliant capital strategies 💡💰 that no one executed.

You know finance should be a living, reflexive system — but everywhere you've worked, it's been treated like a rearview mirror 🚗.

At Lovingly, we agree 💖.

And we're ready to build what finance should have become — with you.

Why This Isn't a Traditional CFO Role 🚀

We've built the cultural infrastructure 🏗️.

We've operationalized AI across our core systems ⚙️.

We've already replaced "what-if" paralysis with automated decision loops 🔄 — in product, in marketing, in ops.

Now we're looking for the right architect to extend this metabolic thinking into finance 💹.

We call this role Chief Metabolic Architect because "Chief Financial Officer" doesn't do it justice 🎯.

This isn't about reporting 📑.

This is about capital transformation — designing financial reflexes that convert discipline into competitive velocity 🏎️.

We're not looking for someone to manage a system.

We're looking for someone to architect the AI-powered financial engine 🔥 that becomes our competitive edge — and then push it to do things no one thought finance could do.

What You'll Build With Us 🛠️

Metabolic Finance Infrastructure (co-architected from day one) 🏗️
Real-time capital visibility with anomaly reflexes 📡
AI copilots that don't just exist — they act: Pulse (health 🫀), Oracle (scenarios 🔮), Sniper (waste 🎯)
Energy-based budgeting ⚡ — every dollar tracked by return velocity, not just ROI
Decision reflex loops 🔁 — recurring capital asks turned into pre-validated flows

Capital Strategy with the CEO 🤝👨💼

Shared accountability for velocity and capital allocation ⚖️
System-first, ego-free co-design of financial architecture 🧩
Power to question assumptions ❓, rewire ops 🔧, and execute across functions 🏢

What Makes This Different ✨

We're not another company pretending to be AI-forward 🙅♂️🤖.

We've proven our commitment through:

In-house copilots across departments 🛩️
Backed by Luma — our proprietary AI governance system 🛡️ that ensures copilots act with precision 🎯, not chaos 💥
A CEO who architects systems 🏗️, not just strategies — and codes AI copilots before most teams finish their decks ⏱️

You won't be explaining why AI matters — you'll be expanding what it can do 📈.

You won't be handed a static system — you'll forge one under pressure 🔥.

Who You Are 🧠

You're fluent in numbers 🔢 but think in systems ⚙️.

You've likely rejected CFO roles because they felt backwards ⏪.

You've taught yourself tools 🛠️ when no one gave you budget 💵.

You metabolize chaos into clarity 🌪️➡️✨ — and do it faster than anyone expects ⏩.

We bet you've sketched AI-powered finance architectures in your spare time 📝🤖.

We bet you've imagined what finance could be if someone actually let you build it 🏗️.

This is that chance 🎯.

Requirements

Signals You're Probably a Fit ✅

You've automated something finance said couldn't be automated ⚙️ — and it's still running ⏳
You don't code — you command 🫡. You co-pilot LLMs to surface hidden patterns 🕵️♂️, track capital friction 🛑, and rewire decision velocity ⚡
You've built financial systems that made non-finance people say "wait, we can see that in real-time?!" ⏱️
You've inherited legacy systems 🗄️ and had the grit to build workarounds 🔧 while designing their replacements 🆕
Traditional CFOs have called your ideas "unconventional" — and you took it as a compliment 😎
You measure success in decision velocity 🏎️, not just reporting accuracy 📊
You treat staying current with finance tech like a competitive sport 🏆 — always testing what's next 🔍
You've already mentally designed three improvements to our AI copilot suite while reading this 🤯

The Invitation 📬

This role isn't for the experienced — it's for the exceptional 🌟.

You'll operate as a strategic peer, not a finance backstop 🛡️.

You'll co-design the systems others will cite five years from now 📜.

And you'll help prove that when finance becomes metabolic, companies evolve — not incrementally, but exponentially 📈🚀.

Benefits

Compensation Architecture 💰

Total Target Compensation: $281,250-$364,500 💵

Designed for builders, not maintainers 🏗️:

Base Salary: $225,000-$270,000
Performance Incentive: 25-35% of base (tied to decision velocity ⚡, scenario accuracy 📏, and system reflex benchmarks 🎯)
Professional Development: $25,000/year for AI training 📚, executive systems retreats 🏞️, and performance acceleration 🏁

This isn't a market-rate package — it's a builder's blueprint 🏗️📜.

The upside comes from what you architect, not what you negotiate 🤝.
