The Opportunity
The Future of Finance Leadership is Now.
Ignition is pioneering the next generation of CFO services. We combine Big4 expertise with over a decade serving venture-backed companies from inception to Series E - and a core belief: AI amplifies human expertise, creating competitive advantages our clients can't get anywhere else.
We're not just adopting AI tools—we're building AI-coordinated finance operations that deliver transformational efficiency while maintaining the analytical rigor CFOs demand. We are hiring 1 person to join us and be a champion to other CFOs.
Each of our CFOs interacts primarily with the Founders and CEOs of our clients, as well as other CFOs on our team. You will step in as a key leader to multiple clients, spearheading financial operations to oversee and direct the finance team's efforts.
Series A through Series E venture-backed companies seeking AI-enhanced finance operations
Founder/CEO partners who value strategic finance leadership and competitive positioning
Investor relationships with top-tier VCs requiring sophisticated reporting and AI-informed strategy
Fast-growing businesses needing scalable, AI-enhanced finance operations for competitive advantage
AI-Forward Organizations
Companies ready to leverage AI for systematic competitive advantage
Leadership teams interested in CFO-guided technology adoption with financial rigor
Businesses requiring CFO-level analysis for AI investment evaluation and ROI measurement
Organizations seeking finance operations transformation with maintained audit trails and compliance
What You'll Own
Build the engine. Don't just run plays.
Lead the Finance Organization
Ensure financial statements and underlying data are completed timely, accurately and relevant. Develop comprehensive financial models to assist the Founder/CEO in raising capital.
Lead AI-Coordinated Finance Operations
Oversee financial reporting enhanced by AI automation and analysis. Complete variance analysis in 30 minutes instead of 2 days through AI workflow orchestration. Coordinate month-end close processes with maintained audit trails and CFO-level oversight.
Drive Strategic AI Adoption
Evaluate AI investment opportunities for clients using CFO-level financial analysis rigor. Guide clients through systematic AI transformation. Develop business cases for AI implementation with measurable ROI projections.
Deliver Enhanced Client Value
Provide real-time financial insights through AI-enhanced dashboards and predictive analytics. Support fundraising efforts with AI-enhanced due diligence preparation and investor reporting.
Collaborate Within AI-Enabled Team
Work alongside other AI-proficient CFOs sharing best practices and breakthrough innovations. Contribute to our proprietary AI methodology development and competitive differentiation.
Who You Are
This role is for builders, not advisers.
You're a fit if you:
5+ years CFO, Finance Director, or senior finance management experience
Already using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) for productivity enhancement in current role
Strong knowledge of GAAP, financial modeling, budgeting, and forecasting methodologies
Experience with recurring-revenue or subscription metrics, deferred revenue, and revenue recognition complexity
Track record in fundraising, debt negotiation, and financing strategy with successful outcomes
Team leadership experience from recruiting through staff development and retention
Passionate about delivering exceptional client service through enhanced capabilities
Comfortable with both detailed financial analysis and big-picture strategic guidance
This won't work if you:
Not currently using AI tools in your finance work
Prefer traditional methods over technology-enabled approaches
Uncomfortable with rapid change and continuous methodology refinement
Looking for a highly structured, predictable environment
Prefer to work independently rather than collaboratively across teams
What We Offer
Responsibility matched with real authority and support.
Competitive Compensation
Competitive base salary commensurate with experience, plus meaningful upside tied to company performance.
Full-time W-2 employment with medical, dental, and vision benefits through our PEO.
Exceptional Relationships
Work at the center of a firm where every client is a serious company and every CFO brings meaningful experience.
