Responsibilities
Working largely independently, apply knowledge, experience, insight, and competence to partner strategically with clients in various industries such as Fintech, Crypto/Blockchain/NFT, SaaS, Consumer, and Healthcare
This role has variety at its core. From presenting at investor meetings to building financial models for clients, no day will be a “typical day” (hence the typical, atypical day)
You will help bridge the gap between legacy financial thinking and new blockchain-based ecosystems, functions and capital flows
You will be supporting our startup clients who need high-level finance help but may not have a need for a full-time internal CFO at their current stage
You will be working with a variety of clients, so the ability to context shift, communicate, prioritize and evaluate needs is the most important thing you’ll be doing in this role
You will be managing the entire Finance function for your clients, so you’ll want to be comfortable managing a team
