Financial Controller

Who you are

You're passionate about numbers and finance, and you also understand that most

entrepreneurs aren't.

You're excited to be the bridge between the entrepreneur and accounting, delivering

your clients intuitive, meaningful information in a way that the entrepreneur can

easily understand and use. You love the stories that numbers tell and you're great at

sharing those stories.

You get fired up by the idea of making a huge impact for your clients.

You have a visceral reaction to the phrase "crushing it", as you don't think something is

worth doing unless you're going to do a truly exceptional job.

You love collaborating with internal teams and clients.

You are an exceptional communicator and relationship builder and your time

management and prioritization skills are top-notch.

Who we are

We believe entrepreneurs can change the world. Our role is to help them through

their financial blind spot with intuitive financial information for better decision-making. For entrepreneurs to change the world, we must change how financial

information is managed and delivered. In a survey of over 10,000 SME owners, 40% of

entrepreneurs think accounting and taxes are the worst part of owning a business.

The result is almost always avoidance of all things accounting leading to a financial

crisis. But there is a better way. It's what we do and it's different from what's out there.

We've developed a system to empower entrepreneurs and turn accounting from a

source of pain to a source of power.

Automated, systemized, simple. We're changing accounting for the better.

Our promise to customers

In less than 15 minutes per month, our clients will

• Clearly understand their financial position

• Understand the top 3-5 issues facing their business from a financial perspective

• Have a plan of action to address those issues

• Understand the non-issues they don't have to worry about

All of this can be accomplished for the clients without them ever having to open a set

of financial statements (which they likely don't understand, anyway)

What we do

We outsource accounting departments for service-based businesses between $2mm

and $15mm in revenue. While we handle the day-to-day bookkeeping and

controllership function for our clients, we stand apart through our:

• Data visualization

• Deep dive financial analytics and insights

• Prioritization of critical issues

• Translation of accounting jargon into entrepreneurial language making it understandable and actionable for the entrepreneur.
