Vaco by Highspring

Compensation: $158,000 - $205,000 base salary + discretionary bonus

Overview

This position will lead financial planning, forecasting, profitability analysis, financial modeling, and strategic decision support while managing a team of finance professionals. The role serves as a key business partner to executive leadership and plays an important role in guiding financial performance, balance sheet strategy, and long-term business planning.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing finance team.
  • Own the annual budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning processes.
  • Provide financial modeling, scenario analysis, and strategic recommendations to executive leadership.
  • Oversee profitability analysis, KPI reporting, management reporting, and business performance analytics.
  • Prepare executive and board-level financial presentations and reporting materials.
  • Partner cross-functionally to support strategic initiatives and organizational growth.
  • Lead audit, regulatory, and financial governance support activities.
  • Oversee financial reporting databases and reporting enhancements.
  • Drive process improvements and finance-related special projects.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field.
  • 10+ years of progressive finance, FP&A, financial analysis, or financial management experience.
  • Prior experience managing and developing finance teams.
  • Strong budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, and analytical capabilities.
  • Advanced Excel and financial systems proficiency.
  • Excellent communication and executive presentation skills.
  • Proven track record partnering with senior leadership and influencing business decisions through financial analysis.

Preferred Qualifications

  • CPA, CFA, MBA, or equivalent advanced credential.
  • Experience within banking, credit union, or broader financial services environments.
  • Experience supporting executive leadership and board-level reporting.
  • Background in profitability analysis, balance sheet management, and strategic financial planning.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Executive-level visibility and direct partnership with senior leadership.
  • Opportunity to influence organizational strategy, forecasting, profitability, and financial performance.
  • Leadership role overseeing an established finance and financial analysis function.
  • Broad exposure to strategic planning, risk analysis, profitability modeling, and executive decision support.
  • Stable, growth-oriented financial services organization with strong long-term career potential.
