Own budget process and rolling forecasts - working closely with business leaders to translate business objectives into measurable financial plans
Build frameworks for measuring ROI on growth spend and distinguishing investment costs from run-rate expenses

You're comfortable being the only finance person for a while and doing everything from model-building to vendor management
You’re a strategic and flexible thinker excited to work hard
