What We Actually Need
Our Finance function right now is mostly accounting - backward-looking scorekeeping. We need someone who can turn it into forward-looking strategic partnership. Someone who gives managers instant visibility, fast approvals, and actual insights they can use. This role has a clear path to CFO for the right person. You'll lead our Finance, Legal, and HR teams (about 20 people across locations), but you'll also be hands-on building financial models, creating dashboards, and generally making Finance useful instead of just compliant.
The Setup
You'll report to the CEO. Your team includes our VP Finance in Manila, FinOps Manager, GL Accountants, AR Lead, plus Payroll, Tax, Legal, and HR functions.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
Partner with the business:
- Turn Finance from scorekeeping into decision support - give people insights before they have to ask
- Build real partnerships with Sales, Operations, Customer Success, Revenue Ops, Product
- Own the Executive dashboard: ARR, NRR, CAC, Module Density, Burn, Runway - instant answers when we need them
- Create segment P&Ls so each squad leader can run their area like a mini-GM
Own the SaaS metrics:
- Build and maintain the full stack: MRR/ARR, NRR, GRR, LTV:CAC, CAC Payback, Magic Number, Rule of 40
- Drive down CAC through proper attribution tracking and PLG measurement
- Track module density (how many products each customer is using)
- Model unit economics for both Design Services and SaaS sides - cohort analysis, the works
Run financial operations:
- Lead monthly close (we're targeting Day 5), quarterly forecasts, annual planning
- Handle the multi-jurisdiction complexity - we're operating across several jurisdictions with different tax, payroll, compliance requirements
- Manage cash and runway planning
- Set up a real deal desk with clear approval matrix and escalation paths
Lead the teams:
- Develop our Finance, Legal, and HR teams across locations - build capability, drive accountability
- Instill the "Finance as a service" mindset across the function
- Manage relationships with external advisors: CPA, auditors, outside counsel, banking relationships
What You Need to Have
Requirements:
- 10+ years in finance, at least 5 leading teams at B2B SaaS or tech-enabled services companies
- You've scaled a company through rapid growth - you know what breaks at each stage and how to fix it
- Deep fluency with SaaS metrics (MRR, NRR, CAC, LTV, Rule of 40) - not just the definitions, but how to actually move these numbers
- Hands-on operator - you're willing to build models, create dashboards, dig into data yourself, not just delegate everything
- Multi-entity, multi-currency experience
- CPA or equivalent
Nice to have:
- Experience with hybrid models (services + SaaS revenue)
- Dental, healthcare, or manufacturing background
- You've managed offshore teams before
How This Works
You're building Finance as a service organization. Internal managers are your customers. Speed beats perfection. Insight beats compliance.
Location:Vancouver, Canada (in office). You'll need to work comfortably across time zones with our APAC teams.
Why Join
We're profitable and growing. Self-funded, so there's no VC pressure or artificial growth targets. This is a real business with real customers paying real money.
The mission is straightforward: we're automating dental lab operations. Labs lose customers because of administrative chaos, not because their work is bad. We're fixing that problem.
Finance needs transformation - from pure accounting to strategic partnership. This is your opportunity to build it the right way from the ground up.
And if you do this well, there's a clear path to CFO.
