Confidential Portfolio Company · Remote-friendly

About Us

Confidential Portfolio Company -- Our portfolio company is a publicly-traded hyper-growth fintech -- a venture-stage company that happens to be publicly traded. We are building the payment rails for the businesses the rest of the financial system overlooks — crypto-native companies and emerging-market financial institutions that move serious cross-border and stablecoin volume but can't get served by mainstream banks. We process billions of dollars a year for a fast-growing client base, and we're building the in-house infrastructure — compliance, orchestration, and direct access — to turn that into a category-defining payments business. We're a small, senior team where every person's work is visible and consequential. Here, compliance isn't a cost center; it's the engine that unlocks our growth.

Responsibilities

• Sign and own all SEC reporting (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1/S-3) as principal financial officer, with SOX certifications and disclosure controls.
• Own the external audit relationship.
• Build the budget, forecast, and financial narrative — internally to the CEO and Board, externally to the street.
• Serve as the company's primary financial voice to investors, analysts, and shareholders — earnings calls, investor conferences, and proactive outreach.
• Manage Nasdaq listing compliance.
• Build and lead a small finance team, and get hands-on with the granular work as the company scales.

Requirements

• 10+ years in progressive finance leadership, with at least 3 years as CFO or Principal Financial Officer of a US-listed public company.
• Small-cap or micro-cap Nasdaq / NYSE experience (sub-$500M market cap) as the signing officer.
• Documented capital-raising track record (preferred, but not required).
• Deep SEC reporting and audit-committee experience, including S-1 / S-3 registration statements.
• CPA, with strong technical accounting acumen and the ability to engage on complex matters directly rather than only through delegation.
• Comfortable operating hands-on in a small, fast-moving public company.

Bonus Points

• Experience raising capital for growth stage companies.
• Payments, fintech, or financial services operating background with real understanding of processor economics and sponsor bank dynamics.
• Familiarity with digital asset, stablecoin, or emerging payments infrastructure.
• M&A execution experience (buy-side, sell-side, or divestitures).
• Prior CFO seat at a payments, fintech, or financial services company.

Perks

• Equity participation in a public company with real upside.
• Remote-first.
• A genuine founding role: you build the function, own it end to end, and report directly to senior leadership and the board.
• The rare chance to own compliance at the frontier of crypto, stablecoins, and cross-border payments.
