Alex’s Team
Alex’s 11–20 person team hired a Client Success Manager and a WordPress Developer through HireUA.
The Problem
The Founder Is the Finance Team.
Forecasts live in the founder’s head, cash surprises show up late and board packs take a weekend. Hire someone who owns the numbers ahead of time.
01
Cash Surprises
No rolling cash forecast, so a big invoice or a slow month becomes an emergency.
02
No Real Budget
Spending decisions are made on gut feel because nobody tracks budget vs. actuals.
03
Weekend Board Packs
Investor updates and board reports get rebuilt from scratch every quarter.
The Role
What a Strong Finance Manager Owns
The planning, control and reporting that a growing company needs.
01
FP&A & Forecasting
A rolling 12–18 month model with scenarios the team can actually use.
02
Cash Management
Weekly cash forecast, payment timing and runway tracking.
03
Budgets & Controls
Department budgets, approval rules and monthly variance reviews.
04
Board & Investor Reporting
Monthly management accounts and board-ready packs.
05
Managing the Team
Oversight of bookkeepers, accountants and outside advisors.
06
Pricing & Unit Economics
Margin, CAC, payback and pricing analysis for key decisions.

Models They’ve Built. Decisions They’ve Shaped.
We look for judgment, not just spreadsheet skills.

FP&A, controllership or both? SaaS metrics, eCommerce margins or agency utilization?
02
Review a Model
Ask them to walk through a forecast they built and the assumptions behind it.
03
Test a Scenario
Give a short case: revenue drops 20% next quarter. What do they change first?
04
Test Communication
Ask them to present one month’s numbers to a founder in five minutes.
