Got a superstar in mind? Send them our way! If we bring them on board, you win up to $1,000! Mission: Actively Hiring | Full-time | Remote Own Bolt Farm’s forward-looking finance engine—unify our data, automate reporting, run the purchase-order and spend approval gate, and extract every ounce of profit from our revenue streams. This is a doer’s seat: you will ship dashboards that leaders actually use, enforce spending discipline like a hawk, renegotiate vendor contracts with zero emotion, and dive deep into marketing and sales funnels to surface contribution margins with surgical precision. Your mission: build scalable finance systems that operate like software, drive measurable savings that fund wow-moments for our guests, and eliminate every bottleneck slowing our growth. No “slide decks” or “analysis paralysis”—this is about action and impact. What You’ll Own: FP&A (Windshield View) • Rolling forecasts, scenario models, and channel ROI that leadership can trust at first glance. • Weekly performance packs; board-level summaries that are bulletproof and decision-ready. • Pricing strategy and revenue optimization—no sacred cows, only data. Finance Ops & Controls • First-line approval gatekeeper for every dollar. If it doesn’t pass your gate, it doesn’t ship. • Tighten AP/expense coding rules; ensure accuracy, speed, and zero guesswork in reporting. • Build systems that scale to 50+ accommodation units without adding headcount. Data, Dashboards & Automations • A single source of truth across QBO, Bill.com, Ramp, Docyt, PMS/booking, and HubSpot. • Automate pipelines (SQL, APIs, Zapier/Make) so manual reporting is extinct. • Deliver dashboards so clear and addictive that executives stop asking for slides. Cost & Vendor Management • Audit every vendor contract, kill waste, and renegotiate with first-principle ruthlessness. • Benchmark pricing quarterly; squeeze maximum ROI from every partnership. • Deliver $10K–$25K verified monthly savings in your first 90 days. Cross-Functional Impact • Partner with Marketing/Revenue to expose weak channels and double down on winners. • Free senior leadership from admin work by owning all data pulls and QA. • Deliver total clarity—every leader knows their numbers, their costs, and their ROI. 90-Day Outcomes • Data Truth: Single source of truth live, reconciled, and trusted (<1% variance). • Dashboards: Executive and department scorecards with 80%+ active adoption. • Controls: PO workflow live; 95%+ compliance; <24hr approval cycles. • Savings: Verified $10K–$25K/month spend reductions. • Revenue Clarity: Contribution margin tracking by villa, guest segment, and channel. KPIs • Month-end close ≤10 business days; reclass corrections down ≥50%. • Automated coverage for ≥90% of recurring reports. • Vendor savings ≥$120K–$300K annualized. • Dashboard adoption ≥80% of leadership. • Leadership time spent on ad-hoc reporting down by ≥15%. Personality & Work Ethic • This role requires someone who is: • Relentless: You’re not “busy,” you’re moving the needle daily. • Builder: Dashboards, automations, and systems aren’t requests; you just ship them. • Tenacious: You treat every dollar like it’s your own; “vendor-friendly” isn’t in your vocabulary. • Truth-Seeker: No tolerance for sloppy data; you chase problems to root cause. • Decisive: You’re comfortable saying “no” when discipline is at stake. Sample Week • Mon: Weekly revenue flash; approve POs; vendor bid reviews. • Tue: Forecast roll; channel margin deep dive; renegotiation calls. • Wed: Marketing attribution QA; automate a manual report; refresh dashboards. • Thu: Scorecards; coding audits; enforce policy. • Fri: Savings tracker; risk review; next-week execution priorities. Logistics • Full-time, hybrid/remote-friendly with periodic Tennessee on-site time. • Reports to CEO/COO (org design dependent). • Comp: $110K–$160k all-in (approximately 70% base / 30% performance-based), tied to Finance Operations Lead dependent metrics. Exceptional performers who deliver outsized, measurable value can earn beyond this range—there is no ceiling for impact-driven results. Performance bonus tied to hard-dollar savings, cash flow gains, close accuracy, and dashboard adoption. Challenger-Level Clarity This is not a clerk role or a rear-view accountant job. This is a builder’s seat for someone ready to: • Engineer systems that deliver real-time financial clarity. • Kill inefficiency and drive six-figure savings in under six months. • Fuel guest “wow” moments by putting dollars where they create impact. • Scale Bolt Farm’s financial backbone to support explosive growth.
