Job Description

Your mission as Finance Manager for lempire is to establish, streamline, and manage our financial operations.

You'll be responsible for maintaining fiscal health and stability, enabling efficient growth and scale, and driving the creation and optimization of our financial systems and processes.

- This position is not a management role. We've managed to outsource our Finance function to Airporting while achieving >28M$ ARR. The ideal candidate should be able to work with external accountants and providers with no expected direct reports.

- We are looking for a do-er. A love for Excel modeling and analytics is a must; the person should not be afraid to get their hands dirty.

The scope of responsibilities is broad, ranging from accounting (which is outsourced), billing projects, P&L reporting, budget forecasts, and tax optimization, among others.
