The Role:

The Director of Finance will serve as the financial anchor for Fliff, taking direct ownership of budgeting, forecasting, accounting operations, cash flow management, and internal controls. This role bridges strategic executive planning with hands-on financial stewardship, scaling our financial architecture to support rapid transactional growth, player wallet liabilities, and complex vendor/contractor ecosystems.

You will manage and mentor the finance and accounting team, partner across Product, Marketing, and Operations, and operate with high autonomy to deliver accurate, audit-ready financial insights directly to executive leadership.

Key Responsibilities:

• Strategic Planning, Budgeting & Forecasting

• Own the company-wide operating budget, quarterly rolling forecasts, and multi-year financial models.

• Analyze complex financial datasets to evaluate key unit economics, player lifetime value (LTV), acquisition efficiency (CAC), revenue growth, profitability, and burn rate.

• Partner cross-functionally with department heads to track departmental budgets, identify variances, and uncover cost-saving and ROI-enhancing opportunities.

• Prepare comprehensive financial presentations, board packages, and key performance metric summaries for executive leadership and stakeholders.

Comprehensive Financial Reporting & Accounting Operations

• Direct month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close cycles, ensuring absolute integrity across consolidated balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements under US GAAP.

• Deliver accurate and timely financial reporting packages, tax documentation, and detailed bank and wallet reconciliations.

• Oversee end-to-end Accounts Payable (A/P) and Accounts Receivable (A/R) workflows, working cross-functionally to optimize working capital and maintain vendor relationships.

• Direct domestic and global payroll operations and contractor payment pipelines to ensure precise, timely compensation and tax compliance.

Internal Controls, Policies & Systems Scalability

• Design, implement, and enforce robust internal accounting policies, standard operating procedures, and risk controls across all financial workflows.

• Lead the implementation and modernization of scalable financial software, ERP systems, and automated reconciliation tools tailored to high-volume transaction environments.

• Drive audit readiness, coordinating directly with external auditors, tax advisors, and banking partners.

Cross-Functional Leadership & Ad Hoc Strategy

• Lead, mentor, and scale the finance and accounting function, promoting a culture of precision, accountability, and continuous improvement.

• Serve as a self-directed partner to leadership, managing upward proactively to flag financial risks, surface trends, and deliver scenario modeling for strategic initiatives.

• Steer ad hoc financial analyses and special projects across new market entries, payment gateway optimizations, and prize/reward structures.

 

What We're Looking For:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related quantitative field.

• 8–12+ years of progressive finance and accounting experience, including 4+ years of direct people management experience leading finance professionals.

• Demonstrated mastery of financial reporting, US GAAP, and technical accounting across financial statements, reconciliations, and tax compliance.

• Proven track record leading company-wide budgeting, rolling forecasting, and detailed variance analyses in high-growth environments.

• Hands-on experience supervising payroll, contractor disbursements, and A/P & A/R functions at scale.

• High autonomy as a self-starter with a demonstrated track record of managing upward and communicating effectively across non-finance teams.

• Exceptional analytical rigor, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills with the ability to maintain accuracy under tight deadlines.

• Experience in social gaming, sports entertainment, daily fantasy sports (DFS), fintech, or consumer tech platforms with high transaction volumes and dual-currency or wallet models
Preferred Qualifications

• Active CPA, CFA, or an MBA/Master’s degree in Accounting or Finance.

• Direct experience selecting, implementing, or optimizing modern ERPs (e.g., NetSuite) and FP&A/BI platforms.
