Title: Director of Financial Operations (US)

Location: Remote

Able is a product strategy and development studio. Our Vision is to build products that create a more inclusive and prosperous future for our people and partners (clients). Our teams consist of exceptional Product Designers, Software Engineers, Product Strategists, and Program Managers.

Able is seeking a Director of Financial Operations to join our distributed team. This role is essential to help drive our next wave of growth and performance. It reports directly to the CEO.

Our Story

Over the past several years, Able has grown immeasurably. Our revenue and team have grown +30% y/y. We’ve also grown in the type of company that we are:

Chapter 1: We were founded in 2013 as a product and engineering hub for a portfolio of early stage start-ups. We grew up as an in-house/external hybrid shared services model. That allowed us to hone our skills and establish our operational and cultural foundation.

Chapter 2. In 2019 we began to expand our vision. We began to grow outside of our inset partner base. We had good initial success meeting new partners, kicking off new relationships, and delivering high value work.

Chapter 3. We are now beginning a new chapter, an expansion of the ambition of Chapter 2. Our strategy for growth centers around two segments:

  • Venture Capital. VC firms are looking for trusted product and technology solutions to distribute seamlessly across their portfolios at scale. The founders at their portfolio companies are looking for capabilities that can accelerate their businesses’ go-to-market time, while minimizing cost and risk.
  • Private Equity. PE firms are looking for trusted solutions that can catalyze growth for their portfolio companies at scale. The leaders of those companies are looking to leverage technology to unlock growth from their organizations.

As we grow the mechanics of our business become more complex. We are looking for a leader who can help evolve our financial team, systems and processes to help lead our trajectory.

What we’re looking for

We believe that this role can be instrumental in helping us unlock our next wave of growth. We are seeking a Builder (see Core Value: We are all builders) who can help refine and simplify our finance apparatus (see Core Value: Simplify to solve).

Our finance system is distributed across two operating entities (US and Peru), internal and external resources (including two retained accounting firms), and multiple systems (Quickbooks, Google sheets, payroll, AP, etc.) It works for us but it is not yet its best self.

We need a leader who can maintain the day to day of financial operations while evolving the system to create better performance and insights to the business.

Your Responsibilities

  • Manage financial operations, including:
    • Quarterly company forecasting
    • Month close including recognizing revenue and costs
    • Quarterly Profit Sharing targets for the company each quarter, and upon quarter close payouts
    • Raise and promotion pool forecasting
    • AP/AR
    • Payroll
    • General company budget management, including new hires and overhead expenditures
  • US + LatAm financial operations. For legal and structural reasons, we maintain a separate business entity in Lima, Peru. That entity has its own financial operations that roll up into Able’s globally. You will manage a Finance Lead in Lima, as well as a local accounting firm who manage local operations.
  • Company performance improvement. We are growing, topline and bottomline. Finance can help move from a reflection of our performance’ to a driver of our performance.’
  • Team and operations refinement. Create a structural and operational vision for the team to help us get more efficient and effective.

Your day-to-day

  • You’ll work closely with your partners in People Operations, Workplace Operations and Recruiting to refine how we work and how work is distributed.
  • You’ll work closely with the CEO on the ongoing mechanics and performance of the business.
  • You are a member of the Growth Team: a group of 12 people who meet weekly to discuss partner updates, new business opportunities, and how we are working together to drive growth.

This position is 100% remote within the United States.

The salary range for this position is $150,000 to $160,000 USD.

Salary offered will take into consideration the actual salary ranges for current employees, the candidate’s depth of experience and qualifications, the level of specialization the role requires, budgetary considerations, the market demand for the role and the local market conditions that exist where the employee will be based.
