Overview

Financial Controller (Fully Remote)

Location : South Africa (Fully Remote)   Working Hours : US Time Zones

Are you an exceptional Financial Controller or operational leader who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment? We are seeking a strategic Financial Controller to be the operational co-pilot for the CEO of a rapidly scaling company. This is a unique opportunity for a top-tier South African candidate to move beyond a traditional finance role and become a critical partner in our mission to double the business annually, working in alignment with US business hours.

Why This Role Is Different

We\'re not looking for someone to just "manage the books." This role is about bringing strategic financial rigor and accountability to every aspect of our growth. You will be instrumental in building the systems and providing the insights that empower the entire company to make smarter, faster decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Financial Modeling & Forecasting : Building and maintaining robust financial models that align daily operations with our long-term growth projections.
  • Performance Tracking : Conducting weekly, monthly, and quarterly reviews to dissect performance, identify bottlenecks, and drive continuous improvement.
  • Cash Flow Management : Proactively managing and optimizing cash flow to ensure a healthy runway while we scale aggressively.
  • Strategic Partnership : Serving as a trusted thought partner on key business decisions, from hiring and incentives to offer structures.
  • Systems & Reporting : Creating simple, intuitive dashboards and operating metrics that provide company-wide clarity and alignment.

Requirements

The ideal candidate has a proven track record as a financial controller or operator in a fast-scaling business (ideally in the $5M-$25M / year range), with experience in high-ticket education, coaching, or SaaS being a strong plus.

Candidate Profile

  • Fluent in Founder Psychology : You know how to support and ground a visionary founder with data, clarity, and accountability.
  • A Champion of Simplicity : You believe that complexity is the enemy of execution and you build systems and reports that are easy for non-financial people to understand.
  • Hungry for Growth : You are ambitious and want to build something legendary, not just maintain the status quo.
  • Highly Coachable : You are emotionally intelligent, embrace high standards, and thrive on clear, honest feedback.
  • An Elite Communicator : Your verbal and written communication skills are impeccable, supporting a writing-first culture.
  • Our Culture

    Our culture is built on a few non-negotiable core values that guide everything we do :

  • Extreme Ownership : We take full responsibility for our work and outcomes.
  • Insanely Simple : We actively fight complexity at every turn.
  • Writing-First Culture : We believe clarity is kindness, and if it\'s not written, it doesn\'t exist.
  • All-In Mindset : Our success is intrinsically linked to our founders\' success.
  • Relentless Velocity : We move quickly and purposefully toward a common goal.
  • Benefits

    What We Offer

  • Direct, deep collaboration with the CEO and senior leadership team.
  • The chance to be a foundational part of building a generational company.
  • A high-trust, high-clarity, and high-performance work environment.
  • The freedom to do your best work from anywhere in South Africa, while aligning with US time zones.
  • A competitive compensation package, including a base salary and commission, to be discussed during the interview process.
  • Application Process

    If you have the drive and expertise to become a key player in a high-growth company, please apply directly. We are excited to meet you.
