The Opportunity Reporting to the CEO, you’ll own FORM’s finance function end to end. You’ll start by learning how our accounting function runs today, then partner with the team to strengthen controls and streamline processes as we grow. From there, you’ll lean into financial modelling and become a strategic partner to the executive team.

You’ll work directly alongside the CEO, with access to our fractional CFO for mentorship. You’ll have real ownership over how FORM plans, reports, and grows, and the support to step up as the role expands. This role requires a hands-on leader who likes being close to the numbers.

  • Focused - We’re not afraid of throwing out great ideas to execute the right one. You know which numbers matter most and keep the team pointed at them.
  • Human - Work as a team, work for one another, listen to our members. You make finance approachable and explain the numbers so every FORMie can act on them.
  • Learn Fast, Act Fast - Improve through trial, testing and action. You move with urgency, learn from each cycle, and keep improving how finance works.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
