CFO | Female Founded Fintech Platform | Series A

Ember Search has been retained on a CFO search for a Series A, high-growth fintech platform operating at the intersection of consumer finance and healthcare. The business is solving a massive, broken problem in a ~$100B market by enabling consumers to pay for essential services over time rather than upfront. Unlike traditional insurance, the model focuses on everyday usage and is built around a lending-heavy, capital-intensive structure. With ~$12M in revenue, 10x growth over the past year, and a clear path toward ~$100M+, the company has reached product‑market fit and is now entering a critical phase of scale.

You will partner directly with the founder and leadership team to: Build the financial infrastructure from the ground up (reporting, systems, KPIs) Own and evolve the lending and capital strategy, including debt facilities and lender relationships Drive key decisions around growth vs. profitability Support a likely Series B raise in the next 12–18 months Build and scale the finance team (Controller / FP&A over time) This is a hands‑on role in a fast‑moving environment where you will be expected to operate across strategy, execution, and build.
