VP Finance | High-Growth Fintech | Remote | $275k–$350k + Bonus + Equity

The Company

We’re partnered with a rapidly scaling fintech company focused on expanding access to modern financial tools for hourly and frontline workers. With a nationwide employer footprint and recent institutional backing that includes a significant growth equity round and a large credit facility, the company has substantial capital to accelerate product development, strengthen infrastructure, and broaden its reach.

Rather than operating as a short-term lending solution, the platform enables employees to access wages they’ve already earned, on their own schedule. The goal is simple but powerful: improve cash-flow flexibility, reduce reliance on high-cost alternatives, and support long-term financial stability. Through a technology-first, approach, the company has already facilitated over a billion dollars in early wage access while becoming a trusted partner to employers looking to enhance retention and employee satisfaction.

As it enters its next growth phase, the business is evolving beyond a standalone employee app into a broader embedded payments and payroll enablement platform. The expanding product suite allows payroll processors, HR platforms, and workforce management systems to integrate real-time pay capabilities directly into their ecosystems. This includes certified partnerships within major HCM environments, and distribution through established marketplace channels, positioning the company as foundational infrastructure within the modern payroll stack.
