HireHawk
Role Description As Finance Director, you will be the analytical partner to Client CFOs across multiple portfolio engagements. You will own the financial data, reporting, models, and insights that help founders and operators understand performance, protect margins, allocate capital, and scale smarter. This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who can build a three-statement model from scratch, trace margin movement at the vendor or channel level, and communicate clearly with CFOs, founders, investors, and operating leaders. The right person will feel more like a Finance Manager or Senior FP&A Manager on a CFO track than a traditional analyst. Responsibilities - Own weekly financial data management across a portfolio of client companies so performance, margins, and KPIs stay accurate, current, and decision-ready. - Partner with accounting and controllership teams to validate reconciliations, month-end outputs, and reporting integrity from source data through executive reporting. - Build and manage KPI dashboards, executive reporting packages, board materials, and investor-ready financial analysis. - Lead annual budgets, rolling forecasts, variance analysis, and recurring financial planning cycles across multiple client engagements. - Build and maintain dynamic 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year financial models, including three-statement models, scenario analyses, and sensitivity tables. - Analyze unit economics, pricing, channel mix, inventory, vendor terms, COGS, and margin drivers to identify where performance is improving or leaking. - Serve as the primary analytical partner to Client CFOs, preparing the analysis they need for board meetings, investor calls, lender updates, and strategic planning sessions. - Support client conversations with founders and functional leaders across marketing, supply chain, operations, and finance as trust is built. - Support fundraising, M&A, credit, and diligence work by preparing investor materials, data rooms, cash runway analysis, and capital allocation scenarios. - Translate complex financial data into clear, practical recommendations that non-finance stakeholders can act on quickly. Qualifications - 6 to 8 years of progressive experience in FP&A, financial operations, corporate finance, controllership, or a closely related finance role. - Proven experience owning planning cycles, recurring reporting, financial analysis, and executive-ready deliverables end to end. - Advanced financial modeling skills, including multi-year three-statement models, scenario analysis, sensitivity tables, and cash runway planning. - Strong understanding of accounting principles, including accrual vs. cash, revenue recognition, COGS treatment, reconciliations, and inventory accounting. - Experience with consumer business models such as DTC, retail, omnichannel, wholesale, CPG, beauty, or related product-based businesses. - Strong executive presence and the ability to communicate confidently with CFOs, founders, investors, and senior operating leaders. - Ability to manage multiple client engagements independently while maintaining accuracy, responsiveness, and high judgment. Requirements - Prior experience in a multi-client, fractional finance, consulting, PE operating, portfolio support, or multi-entity environment. - Experience with QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Xero, or similar accounting platforms. - Experience with BI, dashboarding, or reporting tools. - Exposure to fundraising, M&A, lender reporting, investor materials, or diligence processes. - Experience using LLMs such as ChatGPT or Claude, or automation tools to improve finance workflows. Benefits - Access to a $200K+ perk marketplace with discounts on 150+ global services. - Option to withdraw up to 50% of approved earnings before payday.
