VP, Finance

<h3 class="text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold">What We Actually Need</h3> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Our Finance function right now is mostly accounting - backward-looking scorekeeping. We need someone who can turn it into forward-looking strategic partnership. Someone who gives managers instant visibility, fast approvals, and actual insights they can use. This role has a clear path to CFO for the right person. You'll lead our Finance, Legal, and HR teams (about 20 people across locations), but you'll also be hands-on building financial models, creating dashboards, and generally making Finance useful instead of just compliant.</p> <h3 class="text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold">The Setup</h3> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">You'll report to the CEO.

Self-funded, so there's no VC pressure or artificial growth targets. This is a real business with real customers paying real money.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">The mission is straightforward: we're automating dental lab operations. Labs lose customers because of administrative chaos, not because their work is bad. We're fixing that problem.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Finance needs transformation - from pure accounting to strategic partnership. This is your opportunity to build it the right way from the ground up.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">And if you do this well, there's a clear path to CFO.</p> <hr class="border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5"> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>EviSmart</strong><br><a class="underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current" href="http://www.evismart.com/">www.evismart.com</a></p>
