Controller - CFO Path

THORNDALE PARTNERS

Controller - CFO track
Location: Nashville or Chicago
Type: Full-Time | VC-Backed SaaS

The Opportunity
Our client is a fast-growing SaaS powerhouse revolutionizing their segment of Fintech. Following a successful VC funding round, the need is for a high-impact Controller to own their financial engine. This isn't just a management role-it is a defined path to CFO for the right leader.

What You'll Do
  • Lead Finance: Oversee all accounting operations, monthly closes, and ASC 606 revenue recognition.
  • Scale the Future: Transition the tech stack from QBO to a mid-market ERP (NetSuite/Intacct) and build out the finance team.
  • Strategic Insights: Drive SaaS-specific reporting (ARR, Churn, LTV/CAC) and build complex financial models to guide the CEO and Board.
  • Compliance & Treasury: Manage cash flow, tax strategy, external audits, and internal controls.
  • CFO Apprenticeship: Partner directly with the CEO on investor relations, capital planning, and M&A evaluation.
What You Bring
  • The Credentials: Active CPA and 7+ years of progressive finance experience (3+ in leadership).
  • The Expertise: Deep SaaS/Subscription background is a must. You know how to translate GAAP into growth metrics.
  • The Tech: Mastery of QuickBooks Online, Stripe, and Ramp; experience with ERP migrations is a huge plus.
  • The Mindset: A "builder" mentality. You are as comfortable in a spreadsheet as you are presenting to a Board.
Why Join?
  • CFO Growth Path: A transparent timeline for executive promotion.
  • Equity: Direct stake in our high-growth journey.
  • Flexibility: Competitive pay, full benefits, 401(k) match, and a remote-friendly culture.
