Job Description
Civitech is a public benefit corporation dedicated to creating a fairer and more equitable democracy by building the tools and infrastructure needed to increase civic participation, empower Democratic candidates to win, and support the success of progressive causes. Since its founding in 2019, over 500 partners -- a range of nonprofit organizations, national political committees, and individual campaigns -- have utilized Civitech’s tools to reach tens of millions of voters to help create a more equitable and progressive democracy.

The VP of Finance and M&A will own operational finance, working with the CFO to diligence and integrate the companies we acquire. You are expected to level up the finance function. As a finance and cross-functional leader, you will help drive EBITDA growth across the core business and acquired businesses. This is a hands-on role, as we prefer implementing scalable systems instead of hiring people to administer processes. You’ll report to the CFO, who is driving the roll-up and financing.

It is important that our team reflects the diversity of the organizations we seek to serve. We strongly encourage women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, and others otherwise underrepresented in the technology sector to apply.

What You Will Do:
  • Ownership of company’s financial operations including financial planning & analysis, budgeting, forecasting, accounting, AR, AP, cash management, payroll, stock, expenses, & tax compliance
  • Run the week-to-week financial operations of the company (account, AR, AP, payroll, stock, employee expenses, etc). We have high quality bookkeeping and fractional capacity for AR, AP, and payroll
  • Manage annual financial budgeting and forecasting processes, ensuring the annual plan reflects company strategic objectives
  • Diligence target companies’ financials, analyze transaction structures, close acquisitions, and integrate businesses with a focus on improving EBITDA
  • Support the CFO and CEO in equity and debt fundraising, ​​including preparation of investor materials and data rooms
  • Ensure timely completion of monthly financial close & reporting
  • Ensure compliance with GAAP and applicable regulatory requirements
  • Create & maintain routine and ad hoc financial modeling. Run reporting & analyses to enable sound & timely decision making
  • Conduct research-driven analysis (e.g., pricing, unit economics, competitive landscape) to inform product development and go-to-market strategy, and help rapidly test hypotheses
  • Ensure compliance with federal and state tax requirements
  • About You:
  • 10+ years of relevant experience, including 5+ years of leadership experience
  • Demonstrated success at designing, implementing and improving scalable processes, so that execution capabilities scale super-linearly to headcount.
  • AI fluent, we prefer to build scalable systems before hiring additional headcount.
  • Strong modeling & analytical skills with an ability to prototype internal tools, and then harden them by integrating the right sources-of-truth to automate.
  • Take pride and pleasure in communicating precisely, quickly, and in a way tailored to your audience.
  • Pro-active project manager who can self-direct work for at least two weeks at a time, on multiple projects, without requiring significant direction from the CFO.
  • Deep commitment to the mission, paired with the self-awareness to manage your energy and emotions across what is a marathon, not a series of sprints.
  • Committed to staying for the long term. We are not looking for a brief tour of duty.
  • Additional Qualifications (desired but not required)
  • CPA
  • Confident with Quickbooks Online or Netsuite
  • Part of teams who have acquired companies and teams in a way that drove expansion (cost cutting expertise by itself is not interesting to us)
  • Everything You Need, One Platform.
