• Oversee implementation and scaling of financial systems (ERP, BI, reporting dashboards) to support data integrity and cross-functional visibility.
• Ensure GAAP compliance, internal controls, and audit readiness in coordination with external advisors.
• Partner with the CEO and Advisory Board on capital strategy, including equity and debt planning, investor reporting, and long-range planning.
• Cultivate a culture of financial ownership and strategic alignment across business units.

Key Qualifications:

• 10–15+ years of progressive finance leadership experience, including senior roles in SaaS or tech-enabled businesses.
• Deep expertise in SaaS metrics, unit economics, financial modeling, and capital allocation.
