At Align, we help busy remote leaders find executives more efficiently by removing the wasted time spent with typical legacy exec search. We specialize in matching experienced leaders with innovative, small internet based companies, typically in SaaS businesses, creative agencies and Private Equity/Holdco's. We understand the unique challenges and opportunities of working remotely, and we use that knowledge to streamline the recruitment process for both companies and candidates. We're white glove exec search made accessible to smaller, fast moving companies.
We’re currently supporting a new software holdco with an exciting Head of Finance opportunity. The Head of Finance is a critical role that will own two core areas: the diligence and underwriting process for business that we look to acquire, and the functional controller and financial allocation work at the head office and portfolio company level.
Core responsibilities include:
Develop and optimize financial underwriting models to better understand and evaluate potential acquisition targets
Create and lead a repeatable financial diligence process for companies we’re in diligence on
Work as a functional financial controller at head office and for our first few portfolio companies to solidify our forecasting and reporting process
Assist portfolio CEOs in strategic finance work to help them better manage their business
Develop thought leadership and research pieces that we believe the community would benefit from
What we're looking for:
The ideal candidate has hands-on experience in a finance role in a startup environment—this is a non-negotiable requirement. We expect this individual to be self-driven, self-motivated, and capable of charting their own path. Background-wise, we’re looking for someone who has CA or CPA credentials, but who is looking for a more dynamic and challenging environment.
We don’t care where you went to school and don’t require any advanced degree beyond an undergraduate degree. The role is remote, ideally located in the US or Canada and will be on a contract basis to start.
Our client is committed to building a diverse and inclusive space where people are free to be their whole and authentic selves. If you are excited about this role but your previous experience does not align with every qualification, we encourage you to apply anyways. You might be a fit for this or one of our other opportunities.
