Job DescriptionVice President of Finance – Strategic Finance & Analytics
Location: Puerto Rico – 100% Remote within Puerto Rico
Compensation: Base salary starting at $140,000+, based on experience
Additional Compensation: Annual performance bonus + equity/profit-sharing opportunity
The Opportunity
We are seeking a highly analytical and hands-on Vice President of Finance to join a fast-growing, innovative company and serve as a strategic partner to the CEO and executive leadership team.
This is not a traditional finance leadership position. The ideal candidate combines strong FP&A and strategic finance leadership with the ability to work directly with financial and operational data.
A key component of the role is hands-on SQL proficiency. The successful candidate does not need to be a data engineer or advanced SQL developer, but must be comfortable independently accessing, querying, combining, validating, and analyzing data to answer financial and business questions.
The ideal candidate can comfortably move between:
Business Question → Data → SQL Analysis → Financial Insight → Business Recommendation
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the company's FP&A function, including budgeting, forecasting, long-range planning, scenario analysis, and financial modeling.
- Serve as a strategic partner to the CEO and executive leadership team, providing financial insights and recommendations that influence company strategy.
- Develop financial models connecting operational drivers to revenue, profitability, cash flow, margins, and overall business performance.
- Own analysis of P&L performance, cash flow, KPIs, unit economics, profitability, and business trends.
- Work directly with financial and operational datasets using SQL to investigate performance, identify trends, and answer business questions.
- Independently extract, join, filter, aggregate, and validate data across multiple tables and systems.
- Conduct deep-dive analyses to identify root causes, anomalies, risks, and opportunities that may not be apparent through standard financial reporting.
- Analyze areas such as customer/product profitability, unit economics, cohort/vintage performance, pricing, and operational efficiency.
- Translate complex financial and operational data into clear, actionable recommendations for leadership.
- Develop executive and Board-level reporting around financial performance, forecasts, KPIs, and strategic initiatives.
- Partner closely with Operations, Product, Sales, Technology, and Data teams to improve business performance.
- Evaluate investments, new initiatives, pricing strategies, partnerships, and growth opportunities.
- Help establish scalable financial processes, reporting infrastructure, controls, and analytical capabilities as the organization grows.
- Build and develop the finance organization while remaining sufficiently hands-on to personally investigate important business questions.
Qualifications
- Significant progressive experience in FP&A, Strategic Finance, Corporate Finance, or Finance Leadership.
- Demonstrated experience leading budgeting, forecasting, long-range planning, financial modeling, and performance analysis.
- Strong understanding of P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, working capital, profitability, and operational business drivers.
- Experience partnering directly with C-suite executives and senior business leaders.
- Strong financial modeling and analytical problem-solving capabilities.
- Demonstrated ability to take an ambiguous business question, structure the analysis, identify the underlying drivers, and recommend a course of action.
- Experience communicating financial insights and recommendations to executive leadership and/or Boards.
- Ability to operate effectively in a high-growth, entrepreneurial environment with significant autonomy and ownership.
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related discipline.
- MBA, CPA, CFA, or other advanced credentials preferred.
SQL & Analytics Requirement
Strong hands-on SQL proficiency is essential.
The candidate does not need to be a data engineer or expert SQL developer. However, they must be comfortable independently using SQL to:
- Query relational databases
- Work across multiple tables and data sources
- Use joins, filters, aggregations, and business logic
- Validate and reconcile data
- Work with large financial and operational datasets
- Investigate trends and root causes
- Translate the resulting analysis into financial and strategic recommendations
Experience with Power BI, Tableau, or similar BI/visualization tools is strongly preferred.
Python experience for data manipulation, analysis, modeling, or automation is a plus, but not required.
Preferred Industry Experience
Experience in fintech, lending, banking, financial services, SaaS, technology, or another highly data-driven/high-growth organization is strongly preferred.
Experience analyzing loan performance, credit behavior, customer cohorts/vintages, unit economics, pricing, profitability, or similar data-intensive financial metrics would be particularly valuable.
Compensation & Benefits
- Base salary starting at $140,000+, depending on experience
- Annual performance bonus
- Comprehensive benefits package, including contribution toward medical insurance
- Equity/profit-sharing opportunity, with vesting beginning after the first year
- 100% remote work within Puerto Rico
- Significant opportunity for professional growth and direct impact within a rapidly expanding organization
This position is ideal for a finance leader who enjoys being strategic but is still willing to roll up their sleeves, get into the data, understand what is driving the numbers, and use those insights to help shape the direction of the business.
