VP of Finance

Tutored by Teachers is a fast-growing, mission-driven company working to close the opportunity gap. A national leader in high-dosage tutoring, TbT partners with school districts across the country to deliver exceptional academic outcomes for high-need students powered by our community of amazing educators. TbT has delivered more than 1 million hours of tutoring and paid over $30 million directly to our teachers.

We’ve built a significant business with a small, highly accountable team by staying relentlessly focused on outcomes and quality. We’re looking for a finance leader to help us navigate our next stage of growth.

The Role

We are looking for a VP, Finance to own the finance function and serve as a strategic thought partner to the CEO and leadership team.

We’re looking for someone who wants to understand how the whole company works, has a point of view on our biggest decisions, and is eager to solve problems beyond the traditional boundaries of Finance. You turn over stones, ask why, and notice when something doesn’t add up. Once you own something, the CEO shouldn’t have to worry about whether it will get done.

You should be equally comfortable tackling a Board-level strategic question and digging into a spreadsheet, contract, payment process, or operating issue to understand what’s really going on.

You will report directly to the CEO.

Responsibilities
- FP&A. Own forecasting, annual planning, scenario modeling, and long-range financial planning.
- Management Reporting. Build a clear operating cadence around the financial and operating KPIs that matter.
- Budgeting & Resource Allocation. Help leaders make better hiring, spending, and investment decisions -- and hold teams accountable for their numbers.
- Cash & Treasury. Own cash forecasting, working capital, treasury, and liquidity management.
- Accounting. Oversee external accounting partners, AP/AR, tax coordination, and financial controls.
- Deal Desk. Support major customer, vendor, and partnership negotiations with rigorous financial analysis.
- Board & Investor Reporting. Partner with the CEO on Board materials, investor communications, fundraising, and strategic financial matters.
- Strategic Decision Support. Turn ambiguous business questions into structured analysis, recommendations, and action.
- Cross-Functional Initiatives. Step into important problems that don’t fit neatly within another function and drive them to resolution.

What Success Looks Like
- Leadership has a trusted, simple view of company performance.
- Forecasts meaningfully guide hiring, investment, and growth decisions.
- Department leaders understand their budgets and own their numbers.
- Finance surfaces risks and opportunities instead of simply reporting what already happened.
- Important decisions are backed by rigorous financial and strategic analysis.
- The CEO spends materially less time managing financial processes and chasing information.
- You become one of the CEO’s most trusted thought partners.
- Your scope expands as you demonstrate the ability to lead beyond Finance.
