Synergy Search is recruiting for a privately held consumer products company with a direct-to-consumer brand and recurring-revenue business line. The Finance Manager will own end-to-end financial modeling, forecasting, cash planning, profitability analysis, and recurring-revenue analysis while partnering with the founder and operating leadership.
Responsibilities
- Build the company's forecasting models in Excel, covering revenue, cost, and cash, driven by actual business activity rather than prior-year trends
- Develop a model for the recurring-revenue line that captures customer retention, cancellation behavior, and long-term customer value, and use it to guide pricing decisions
- Consolidate input from commercial and operating teams into a monthly forecast, and explain what's driving deviations from plan
- Model profitability by product and channel to evaluate new offers and promotional pricing
- Maintain a short-term cash outlook and manage the banking/lending relationship, including required compliance reporting
- Vet purchasing and inventory commitments against available budget and cash
- Lead a recurring finance review with leadership
- Support the accounting team through month-end close, the external audit, and buyer diligence tied to the pending transaction
Skills
- Roughly 5+ years of finance experience; time at a consumer or ecommerce company is a plus
- Strong, hands-on Excel modeling ability, comfortable building forecasting and scenario tools from a blank workbook rather than maintaining existing templates
- Background modeling repeat or subscription revenue, retention, churn, lifetime value, ideally for a physical product rather than software
- Understands inventory- and COGS-based cost structures
- Prefers building the models directly over managing a team that does
