Director of Finance

About the job

As the Director of Finance at Go Nimbly, you’ll own the financial operations that let our team grow with discipline. Reporting to our Director of Operations, you’ll be the primary finance partner for the business, responsible for FP&A and accounting, while building the systems and data foundation that make both run well.

This role suits someone who can work as both strategist and operator. You’ll partner with leadership on where the business is headed, and you’ll also own the monthly close and the forecast, and tie revenue targets, headcount, compensation, and margin into one view of the business. You’ll be a strong technologist who sees finance as a data problem as much as an accounting one, and who builds systems that scale.

You’ll lead and develop our finance and accounting team and collaborate closely with Operations, HR, and the leadership team.

Remote: Location Requirements

We’re a fully remote company. At this time, we are only able to hire candidates who reside in the following locations due to payroll, tax, and compliance requirements:

U.S. states: California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah.

The Director of Finance will:

• Lead FP&A end to end, including the annual financial plan, rolling forecasts, and scenario planning, translating revenue targets, hiring, compensation, and margin goals into models leadership can steer by.

• Partner with Operations to turn utilization targets, capacity, and staffing assumptions into the financial forecast, and track the metrics that matter for a services business, including utilization, billing realization, project margin, pipeline-to-revenue conversion, and cash flow.

• Prepare board materials, and present financial performance and key operating metrics to leadership and the wider company.

• Model and administer the financial side of compensation and incentive plans, working with Operations and HR to keep them financially sound and easy for employees to understand.

• Oversee accounting operations, including month-end close, revenue recognition, AP/AR, payroll coordination, audit readiness, and tax and compliance obligations.

• Build and maintain the finance tech stack, including billing, expense, and reporting tools, and connect them so data flows cleanly between systems.

• Develop dashboards, models, and automated reporting that reduce manual work and give leaders reliable answers quickly.

• Partner with leadership on pricing, staffing models, hiring plans, and investment decisions, translating financial analysis into clear recommendations.

• Manage banking, vendor, and insurance relationships, along with cash management and financial controls.

• Review and manage customer contract terms, including pricing, payment terms, and revenue recognition implications, in partnership with Operations and Legal.

• Document finance processes and policies so the function runs on systems rather than institutional knowledge.

• Make sound judgment calls independently, escalating to the Director of Operations when the stakes or ambiguity call for it.

What’s in it for you?

• Flexible working environment: our entire team works remotely, and we have no plans to change this!

• Tiered incentive program (in addition to base salary) to reward high performers.

• Gain exposure to several high-growth companies looking to scale and invest in their revenue operations function.

• Colleagues who are top practitioners. Many Go Nimbly alumni now lead RevOps and GTM teams at high-growth companies!

• Annual camp: a yearly offsite to celebrate the year and plan the next one.

• Dedicated to employee development and career paths aimed at fostering your growth and your career.

• 100% paid premiums for US employees’ insurance coverage.

About you

• 10+ years of progressive finance and accounting experience, with at least 5 in a leadership role.

• Hands-on depth across FP&A, accounting, and financial operations. You’ve owned these areas, not just supported them.

• Experience building annual plans and forecasts, including modeling variable compensation and incentive structures.

• Strong technical fluency. You’re comfortable with SQL or similar tools, BI platforms, and modern finance systems, and you’ve built models, pipelines, or automations yourself.

• Experience in the back office of a professional services firm, with a working knowledge of utilization, project accounting, and services revenue recognition.

• Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously: you know when to decide, when to consult, and when to escalate.

• Excellent communication skills. You can explain financial concepts to non-finance leaders and turn analysis into clear recommendations.

• Self-directed and accountable: you work proactively, communicate clearly, and close loops.

• Comfortable working in a fully remote environment.

Bonus points if you:

• Have built or supported a finance function at a scaling company

• Have experience with multi-entity or multi-currency accounting, including international operations in EMEA or LATAM

• Hold a CPA or MBA

As a remote first team, we rely on video calls to stay connected, make decisions, and work directly with clients, so being comfortable on camera and engaged in that setting is part of how we operate day to day.
