Your job is to keep finance running smoothly, give the CEO and leadership team accurate, timely financial insight, and keep momentum on our growth and cash priorities. This is a hands-on role: you will lead a small, capable finance team and work alongside them, not just oversee the work. You will also set the function up for a smooth handoff to the permanent CFO. 

What You'll Be Doing::

-

Financial Operations and Reporting: Own the monthly close, financial statements and management reporting. Keep reporting accurate, timely and compliant with applicable standards.

Budgeting and Planning: Finalize and manage the annual operating plan and budget with the CEO and executive team.

Board of Directors (BOD) Engagement: Prepare board financial materials and present financial results and analysis at board meetings.

-

Team Leadership: Lead and support the finance team, including pricing and FP&A, through the transition. Keep priorities clear and the team engaged.

-

Deal and Pricing Support: Work with Sales and the CEO to price and structure complex customer deals.

-

Audit, Tax and Compliance: Coordinate the annual audit, tax filings and other compliance requirements with external partners.

-

Transition to Permanent CFO: Document key processes, priorities and open issues, and onboard the permanent CFO once hired.

What You'll Bring::

-

Proven track record as a CFO or senior finance leader at a SaaS or technology company, including interim or fractional engagements.

-

Experience at venture-backed, growth-stage companies, and comfort with a fast-moving, scrappy environment.

-

Background in health tech, ideally with exposure to data interoperability or provider, payer and health tech vendor markets.

-

Ability to step in quickly, learn the business within weeks, and make sound decisions with incomplete information.

-

A hands-on style: comfortable running the close, building models and pricing deals yourself.

-

Experience preparing board materials and presenting to boards and investors.

-

Strong command of cash management, forecasting and SaaS metrics.

-

A creative, solutions-oriented approach: you bring options, not just constraints.

-

Clear communication and the executive presence to work with a direct, debate-oriented leadership team.

-

Hands-on use of AI tools in your day-to-day work, and the ability to bring AI into how you and the finance team operate.

-

CPA, or a bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting or a related field.

  • MBA (preferred, but not required)

-

CEO and the executive leadership team

-

Board of Directors and investors

-

Finance team, including pricing and FP&A
