Remote Financial Manager – United States – Lead Financial Strategy from Anywhere

Join a forward‑thinking, fully distributed finance team where you’ll own the end‑to‑end financial planning, analysis, and reporting cycle for a high‑growth SaaS company. This role offers the autonomy to shape fiscal strategy while collaborating with cross‑functional leaders across time zones—all from the comfort of your home office.

About the Role

As the Remote Financial Manager, you will be the financial backbone of the organization, translating complex data into actionable insights that drive profitable growth. You’ll partner closely with the CFO, department heads, and the board to build forecasts, manage budgets, and ensure compliance with GAAP and internal controls. Because the company operates 100 % remotely, you’ll leverage cloud‑based ERP tools (NetSuite, Adaptive Insights) and collaborative platforms (Slack, Notion) to keep the finance function agile and transparent.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain rolling 12‑month forecasts and annual operating plans.
• Own month‑end close, variance analysis, and financial statement preparation.
• Design and monitor KPI dashboards for revenue, cash flow, and unit economics.
• Lead budgeting cycles, coordinating input from product, sales, marketing, and engineering.
• Manage external audit relationships and ensure timely filing of tax returns.
• Implement process improvements that reduce close time by at least 20 %.
• Mentor a small team of remote analysts and accountants.

Requirements

Education & Certifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field; MBA or CPA preferred.

Experience

• 5+ years of progressive finance experience, with at least 2 years in a managerial capacity.
• Proven track record in a fully remote or hybrid environment.
• Deep expertise with NetSuite, Adaptive Insights, or comparable ERP/EPM systems.
• Advanced Excel/Google Sheets modeling (dynamic arrays, Power Query, VBA a plus).

Core Competencies

• Strategic financial planning & analysis (FP&A).
• GAAP compliance, internal controls, and SOX readiness.
• Cash‑flow forecasting, working‑capital optimization, and fundraising support.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication for asynchronous collaboration.
• Strong leadership with a coaching mindset for distributed teams.

Salary Range

$115,000 – $145,000 USD per year (base salary, commensurate with experience). This range reflects current market data for senior finance managers in fully remote U.S. roles and includes a performance‑based bonus target of up to 15 % of base.

Benefits & Perks

• 100 % remote work – choose any U.S. location; occasional travel for quarterly offsites (covered).
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans (company pays 90 % of premiums).
• 401(k) with 4 % employer match, immediate vesting.
• Annual professional development stipend ($3,000) for courses, certifications, or conferences.
• Home‑office setup allowance ($2,500 one‑time + $500/year refresh).
• Unlimited PTO with a mandatory minimum of 15 days off per year.
• Wellness reimbursement ($600/year) for fitness, mental‑health apps, or ergonomic gear.
• Equity grant (ISO) aligned with company growth milestones.

Culture & Values

Our team thrives on transparency, data‑driven decision making, and radical ownership. We celebrate diverse perspectives and invest heavily in asynchronous communication practices—think detailed Notion docs, recorded Loom updates, and structured Slack threads—so every voice is heard regardless of time zone. Quarterly virtual “Finance Forum” sessions give you a platform to present insights, challenge assumptions, and shape the strategic roadmap.

How You’ll Make an Impact

In your first 90 days you will streamline the month‑end close from 10 business days to 6, launch a rolling forecast model that integrates real‑time sales pipeline data, and deliver a board‑ready financial package that highlights unit‑economics trends. Long‑term, you’ll own the financial architecture that supports the company’s path to $100M ARR, guiding capital allocation, pricing strategy, and M&A evaluation.
