You will also help strengthen banking relationships, account security, and internal controls as the business continues to scale.
The ideal candidate is a practical finance operator who enjoys building structure, identifying risks early, and owning critical processes end to end.

• Monitor daily cash flow and maintain rolling cash flow forecasts to provide accurate visibility into liquidity and upcoming financial needs.
• Own the full payment cycle, including supplier and contractor payments, company cards, and related approvals, ensuring transactions are accurate, timely, and properly controlled.
• Develop and manage working capital strategies by optimizing payment terms, coordinating outflows with incoming cash, and minimizing idle funds.

• Maintain robust internal financial controls, appropriate segregation of duties, and reliable finance processes across the organization.
• Support banking relationships and working-capital facilities, helping ensure appropriate access to liquidity and efficient financial operations.
• Identify financial and operational risks early, recommend corrective actions, and proactively resolve potential issues before they impact the business.
• Take end-to-end ownership of core finance operations while working independently in a lean, fast-paced environment.
• Use financial data and reporting to support sound operational decisions and maintain a clear understanding of the company's financial position.
• Contribute to the adoption of AI-assisted finance workflows and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, accuracy, and automation.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of professional experience in a Financial Controller, Treasury, Senior Finance Operations, or comparable finance leadership role.
• Experience in high-volume e-commerce, direct-to-consumer, consumer businesses, or another similarly fast-paced operating environment is highly preferred.
• Strong hands-on experience with QuickBooks Online (QBO) and confidence managing day-to-day accounting and finance processes.
• Advanced spreadsheet skills with the ability to analyze financial data, build forecasts, and identify trends or potential risks.
• Strong understanding of cash management, liquidity forecasting, payment operations, working capital, and financial controls.
• Genuine interest in and openness to using AI-assisted tools and workflows to improve finance operations.
• Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy when managing sensitive financial information and high-value transactions.
• High level of discretion, integrity, accountability, and professional judgment.
• Proactive, low-ego working style with the ability to take ownership and make decisions without extensive supervision.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to identify issues before they become material business risks.
• Ability to thrive in a lean, rapidly evolving environment where processes may need to be built or improved from the ground up.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, particularly when coordinating financial matters with internal and external stakeholders.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation of $5,000–$7,000 USD per month.
• Fully remote position with the flexibility to work from a location in the United States.
