Reports to COO
About the Role
We’re seeking a high-rigor financial leader to serve as our Senior Director of Finance. This is a hands-on financial management position where you’ll oversee accounting, payroll, audit, and compliance, and build and improve our FP&A capabilities and KPI reporting to create meaningful financial clarity that helps our leadership team make better decisions, faster.
We’re a leading digital advertising company with 325 employees and we provide more than 20,000 small business clients across the United States with innovative full-service marketing solutions. We’re a profitable, debt-free company. As we continue to grow in size and sophistication we’re looking for an adept, hands-on leader with a proven record of helping drive the success of growing privately-owned companies. The ideal candidate is a finance operator with the mindset of a former PE analyst or FP&A leader, who excels at systems integration, financial process workflow improvement, and team development.
What You’ll Do
Operational Finance & Controls
- Oversee accounting, payroll, AP/AR, and cash management functions.
- Ensure timely and accurate financial reporting (monthly, quarterly, year-end).
- Manage cash flow forecasting and working capital efficiency.
- Lead external audit processes and maintain strong internal controls, including GAAP ASC 606 compliance and SaaS KPIs.
- Upgrade workflows and optimize reporting tools — including NetSuite, Excel models, and KPI dashboards for financial and operational metrics.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Operations, and HR to align financial systems with business needs.
Financial Analysis & Planning
- Lead budgeting, forecasting, and scenario modeling, providing forward-looking insights for both steady-state operations and strategic growth initiatives.
- Analyze margins, pricing strategies, and cost drivers.
- Build and refine product-line and segment-level P&Ls to improve strategic visibility and performance accountability.
- Drive scenario planning and decision support for compensation planning, product development, vendor negotiations, and profitability optimization.
Team Leadership
- Lead and mentor a small team across accounting, payroll, and FP&A.
- Instill a culture of ownership, analytical excellence, and continuous improvement.
Who You Are
- 10+ years in finance and accounting roles, with at least 5 years in a leadership capacity.
- Proven track record in FP&A, strategic finance, or operating roles in growing private or PE-backed companies.
- Fluent in financial modeling, forecasting, and building complex P&Ls.
- Comfortable operating without layers of support — and willing to dive deep into spreadsheets, data, and workflows.
- Experience with NetSuite and strong Excel / modeling capabilities required.
- Familiar with SaaS metrics, deferred revenue, and subscription models (preferred).
- CPA or MBA a plus — but not required.
Why This Role, Why Now
- We’re at a critical inflection point — growing, profitable, and scaling up our financial infrastructure.
- You’ll have true ownership of the finance function, but without the political or bureaucratic trappings of a larger corporate role.
- Work with a collaborative and high-integrity leadership team that values clear insight and fast action.
- You’ll shape the systems, tools, and processes that power our next stage of growth.
