Role Description

We are hiring a Founding Finance Lead to build and own the financial architecture of a rapidly scaling services business. This is not a traditional accounting or controller role — it is a strategic finance position focused on building financial systems, models, and decision frameworks that support a high-growth company.

• Work directly with the CEO to drive P&L planning, financial modeling, client unit economics, pricing strategy, and operational capacity planning.
• Ideal for someone who thrives in 0→1 environments and enjoys building financial infrastructure before the company reaches scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Financial Infrastructure & Modeling
  • Own and manage the company P&L end-to-end, including revenue, delivery costs, gross margin by client, operating expenses, and net margin.
  • Design and maintain financial models that connect operational metrics to financial outcomes.
  • Build and operate capacity planning models accounting for offshore engineers, contractors, and full-time staff.
  • Lead the annual budgeting process with quarterly reforecasting to ensure financial planning remains dynamic.
  • Develop cash flow forecasting frameworks that account for retainer billing cycles and delivery cost timing.
• Client Economics & Pricing Strategy
  • Build client-level financial views including CAC, LTV, payback period, and margin per engagement.
  • Partner with the CEO on pricing strategy and new service offerings, modeling margin implications before launch.
  • Track financial impact of client expansion, retention, and churn.
  • Provide clear financial insights that support strategic business decisions.
• Systems, Integrations & Financial Tech Stack
  • Own the financial systems stack, including Stripe, QuickBooks (or similar), and integrations with operational tools like Airtable and HubSpot.
  • Build automated reporting pipelines that surface financial KPIs without manual spreadsheet exports.
  • Develop AI-assisted workflows for financial modeling, reporting, and automation using tools such as Claude or similar AI platforms.
  • Ensure financial reporting infrastructure scales with the company’s growth.
• Strategic Finance & Investor Readiness
  • Maintain board-ready financial reporting on an ongoing basis.
  • Build and manage a live investor data room with accurate financial documentation.
  • Develop scenario models for fundraising, partnerships, and acquisition opportunities.
  • Serve as a strategic partner to the founder, translating financial insights into actionable business decisions.

Qualifications

• Proven experience building financial infrastructure in a 0→1 startup environment.
• Prior finance leadership experience in agency, services, or professional services businesses.
• Advanced financial modeling expertise, including building three-statement models from scratch.
• Strong strategic finance mindset — comfortable advising on pricing, margins, and business strategy.
• Experience owning and managing financial systems and integrations (Stripe, QuickBooks, or similar tools).
• Ability to translate financial insights into clear operational and strategic recommendations.

Strongly Preferred

• Experience using AI tools such as Claude for financial modeling, automation, or reporting workflows.
• Exposure to international finance operations, including multi-currency environments and global contractors.
• Experience preparing companies for fundraising or investor due diligence processes.
• Familiarity with demand generation or outbound-driven business models.

Benefits

• 💻 Fully Remote: Work from anywhere with international teams
• 🚀 Career Growth: Join companies in SaaS, MarTech, and B2B services
• 🤝 Peer Community: Connect with high-performing sales professionals in our network
• 🧭 Ongoing Support: Receive guidance from Huzzle before and after placement
