[Hiring] Vice President of Finance @ArcherReview

Role Description

Archer Review is looking for a Vice President of Finance to lead strategic finance and FP&A, working closely with the CFO and the executive team. You will own budgeting, forecasting and financial analysis, design our compensation plans, manage treasury, and lead financial diligence on growth opportunities. This is a hands-on, remote leadership role. It suits someone who is equally comfortable building a model, presenting to executives, and coaching a team.

What you'll do

• Own the annual budget process end to end: work with department leaders, build the plan in Excel and Abacum, and present it for executive approval.
• Lead monthly P&L forecasting and reforecasting, revenue scenarios and cash forecasting, and present results and outlook at monthly ELT and SLT meetings.
• Review actual-vs-forecast results and variance analysis each month and turn them into clear insights and recommendations for leadership.
• Design sales and management compensation plans with Sales and People Operations, and oversee commission, holdback and incentive statement calculations.
• Manage treasury, including cash management, liquidity planning and banking relationships.
• Lead financial diligence and modeling for M&A opportunities, and work with the Controller on integration planning.
• Review customer, vendor, and legal contracts for financial terms, risk and impact on the forecast.
• Improve reporting and analytics, including Abacum reporting, headcount reporting, and AR and KPI dashboards, so leaders can get answers on their own.
• Lead and develop the FP&A team, and serve as backup to the CFO and Controller for executive reporting, budget review, and audit planning.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting or Economics. MBA, CPA or CFA preferred.
• 12+ years of progressive finance experience, including 5+ years leading FP&A or strategic finance, ideally at a high-growth subscription, digital or education company.
• Proven track record building budgets and rolling forecasts and presenting them to executive leadership, boards and investors.
• Advanced financial modeling skills in Excel, plus experience with FP&A platforms & AI Modeling and cloud ERP systems.
• Experience designing sales compensation and incentive plans that line up with company goals.
• Experience with M&A diligence, integration and treasury or cash management.
• Experience leading and developing remote teams, and the ability to explain financial results clearly to non-finance leaders.
• Sound judgment, high integrity and discretion with confidential compensation and strategic information.

Requirements

• Timely and accurate reporting: the monthly forecast, variance analysis, and ELT and board materials are delivered accurately and on schedule.
• Deadlines met 100% of the time across the budget calendar, monthly reforecasts and board and investor reporting.
• Strong partnerships with department leaders, who treat Finance as a trusted partner in planning and decision-making.
• Strong team development: an engaged FP&A team with clear goals, regular coaching and documented cross-training and backup coverage.

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental and vision insurance for employees and their families.
• Flexible & encouraged PTO.
• Company HSA contribution for eligible plans.
• Company-paid life insurance and disability coverage.
• 401(k) with company match (100% match on first 3%, 50% match on the next 2%).
