Head of Finance
About The Position
Confido is the AI infrastructure powering CPG brands from deduction to production plan. We unify cash application, deductions, disputes, trade promotion management, forecasting, demand planning, and analytics in one integrated platform. The result: measurable time savings, smarter top- and bottom-line decisions, and the speed to scale. Confido is trusted by 200+ brands managing $20B+ in revenue, including OLIPOP, Simple Mills, Dr. Squatch, Tropicana, and more. We’ve achieved best-in-class growth and recently raised a $15M Series A led by Footwork Ventures and Y Combinator to accelerate our momentum. We’re hiring a strategic, hands-on Head of Finance to build and own Confido’s financial strategy, planning, and operating cadence. This is a strategic finance role first. You will oversee our outsourced accounting firm and ensure clean reporting and strong controls, but your primary mandate is forecasting, capital allocation, SaaS metrics, pricing strategy, and board partnership. You will serve as the connective tissue between data and decision-making, turning numbers into insight, insight into action, and action into compounding growth. You’ll partner directly with the CEO and leadership team to shape company strategy, manage capital efficiently, and build a finance function that scales through our next stages of growth. Over time, you will determine when to bring accounting in-house and hire a Controller. Location: This role is based in our New York headquarters and requires in-person collaboration five days per week.
