About The Position

Scaling.com is seeking a hands-on, builder-oriented Chief Financial Officer to build and lead the financial organization needed to scale from $15 million to $120 million in annual revenue. This role requires the ability to operate at the current stage while designing the people, systems, controls, reporting, and capital relationships for future growth. The CFO will serve as a trusted financial thought partner to the CEO, focusing on strategic finance, accounting, controls, treasury, capital access, and legal operations.

Requirements

Approximately 12 or more years of progressive finance and accounting experience.
At least five years leading a finance or accounting function.
Demonstrated experience helping a founder-led, privately held, or PE-backed company scale substantially—ideally through at least a 3X expansion or from a stage similar to Scaling.com toward $75 million–$100 million or more.
End-to-end ownership of strategic finance, forecasting, accounting, close, cash, controls, and executive reporting.
Experience building scalable financial processes, controls, and reporting in a fast-changing company.
Proven success securing, renewing, or expanding business financing and building lender relationships before an urgent capital need arose.
Experience preparing lender-ready financial packages and negotiating pricing, covenants, collateral, guarantees, and reporting requirements.
Experience building a finance team and systems rather than merely inheriting a mature organization.
Strong understanding of US accounting principles, treasury, controls, and multi-entity organizations.
Utah-based or willing to relocate and work meaningfully in person with the CEO and leadership team.
