Blacksmith Agency is a fully remote US digital agency of 30 to 40 people running websites, SEO, paid media and branding. We are hiring a Head of Finance who can own finance end to end, plus the people operations that go with it, working directly with ownership and a fractional CFO. You run it on your own.

Full time, remote from Latin America or South Africa, with substantial overlap with US business hours. This is a contractor role.

What you will own

• Finance: clean books with our bookkeeper, the monthly close, cash, payables, receivables and controls

• FP&A: revenue, margin and cash flow models and forecasts, monthly actual versus forecast, unit economics and the capacity model that says when to hire

• People operations: onboarding and offboarding for a remote team across several countries, contracts, payroll setup, access in and out

• Plain answers for ownership on where the business stands and what to do about it

What you need

• You have run finance yourself: built the models, owned the close and answered to ownership for the numbers

• Independent and driven. Nobody hands you a checklist

• Strong Google Sheets or Excel, QuickBooks or Xero, and clear written and spoken English

• Full time as your only job. Services or agency finance is a plus

Tools we use

• Google Sheets, QuickBooks, Salesforce Starter, Looker Studio or similar, JustWorks
