• Lead an established finance organization without the need to rebuild reporting infrastructure.
• Oversee a sophisticated monthly reporting package covering financial and operational metrics.
• Flexible work arrangement with an emphasis on results and execution.
• Opportunity to make an immediate impact during an important executive leadership transition.

• Support lender and investor communications as needed.
• Quickly understand the company's existing reporting processes, systems, and business model.
• Ensure a smooth knowledge transfer from the departing CFO.
• Maintain and improve execution of existing finance processes without unnecessarily disrupting the organization.
• Serve as a hands-on finance leader who is willing to get into the details when necessary.
• Support the organization through the interim period while a permanent CFO is identified.
