The Questions You’ll Help Answer

-   When should we hire the next person?
-   How much cash will we need as we grow?
-   What does our pipeline mean for future revenue, staffing, and profitability?
-   Which projects, clients, and teams are generating the strongest returns?
-   How do changes in collections, vendor terms, or project timing impact liquidity?
-   What investments can we make today without getting ahead of ourselves?

What You’ll Own

-   Short- and long-term cash flow forecasting, including a rolling 13-week cash forecast

What We’re Looking For

-   You’re analytical, curious, resourceful, and comfortable building something from the ground up. You don’t need perfect data or a finished playbook before getting started.
-   Approximately 5–8 years of FP&A, strategic finance, corporate finance, or related experience
-   Strong financial modeling, forecasting, and advanced Excel skills
-   Experience with cash flow and working-capital modeling
-   Strong understanding of financial statements and accounting fundamentals
-   Experience analyzing profitability, utilization, capacity, or other operating drivers
-   The ability to turn analysis into recommendations leadership can act on
