Chief Financial Officer (CFO) | PE Backed SaaS | Remote | $350K-$450K

Harmonic is delighted to be supporting a fast-growth, private equity-backed SaaS business with their search for a Chief Financial Officer. The company offers an innovative financial modelling and decision intelligence platform that delivers transformative value to high-growth startups, enabling them to build dynamic, real-time financial models that accelerate strategic decision-making.

Following the recent acquisition of a majority stake by a leading PE fund with a proven track record of scaling SaaS businesses, the company is ambitiously targeting growth from $100M to $200M ARR over the next 12-18 months.

This role offers an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and experienced finance leader who excels in SaaS financial modelling, thrives in fast-paced environments, and is passionate about working within a values-driven culture. The company fosters a vibrant 'start-up' atmosphere despite its PE backing, with a talented and ambitious team committed to redefining the future of financial planning for startups
