Finance Director

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. First, there is "About Us" and "Overview". The "Overview" likely corresponds to "About the role". So we can put that content under

About the role

with

paragraphs. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We need to extract responsibilities list: there is a "Responsibilities" heading in the posting. Under it there are bullet-like paragraphs. We need to convert each bullet into

• . The responsibilities include multiple sub-sections: Financial Leadership & Business Partnership, Financial Planning & Analysis, Month-End Close & Reporting, Trade Working Capital & Cash Flow, Payroll, Audit Support..., Contract Review & Pricing Support, Ad Hoc Implementations. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we can create a list where each bullet is a sentence or phrase. Probably better to keep each bullet as a separate
• . We'll need to parse the text. Let's extract responsibilities section text: "Responsibilities Financial Leadership & Business Partnership Provide financial guidance and strategic support to agency leadership and the CFO, translating complex financial data into meaningful commentary that supports decision-making and profitability. Manage and mentor the agency Client Finance team while serving as a key liaison with Stagwell Corporate finance and shared services teams. Financial Planning & Analysis Support and prepare Stagwell required financial templates. Leveraging Maconomy and Power BI tools, create automated reporting and analysis of data and metrics to help provide key insights into business trends and performance against agency metrics such as client churn, trade working capital, staff cost ratio and resource allocations. Maintain and enhance forecasting tools such as the revenue forecast report, new business tracking and staff allocations. Month-End Close & Reporting Lead month-end close process ensuring adequate review of revenue recognition, monthly accruals for both billable and non-billable accounts, and variance analysis against prior period and budget/forecasts reporting results into the CFO for review and validation.

We need to split into logical bullets. Could break at each capitalized section heading (Financial Leadership..., Financial Planning..., Month-End..., Trade Working..., Payroll, Audit Support..., Contract Review..., Ad Hoc...). Also within each there are sentences. Simplify: produce
  • for each sentence or clause. But we must preserve all info; we can keep each sentence as a separate
  • . That will be many but okay. Alternatively, we could keep each paragraph as
  • . The original text has paragraphs separated by double spaces? It seems each bullet is a sentence. We'll split by period followed by space and capital letter? Might be messy. Simplify: produce a single
    with each responsibility as a
    • containing the sentence(s). We'll manually craft bullets based on the sections. Let's list responsibilities: - Provide financial guidance and strategic support to agency leadership and the CFO, translating complex financial data into meaningful commentary that supports decision-making and profitability. - Manage and mentor the agency Client Finance team while serving as a key liaison with Stagwell Corporate finance and shared services teams. - Support and prepare Stagwell required financial templates. - Leveraging Maconomy and Power BI tools, create automated reporting and analysis of data and metrics to help provide key insights into business trends and performance against agency metrics such as client churn, trade working capital, staff cost ratio and resource allocations. - Maintain and enhance forecasting tools such as the revenue forecast report, new business tracking and staff allocations. - Lead month-end close process ensuring adequate review of revenue recognition, monthly accruals for both billable and non-billable accounts, and variance analysis against prior period and budget/forecasts reporting results into the CFO for review and validation. - Prepare required month-end reporting including client revenue database, monthly dashboards and flash reports. - Develop and maintain monthly leadership reports and presentations, providing commentary and analysis against agency metrics, including actual vs. forecast, utilization, over-service and trade working capital. - Partner with agency Client Finance team and Stagwell shared services to ensure intercompany mismatches are cleared prior to month end. - Partner with Stagwell shared services teams ensuring proper review of financials, follow-up on open items and accurate recording of journal entries. - Develop monthly client trade working capital and cash position reports that help the agency identify and measure key risk areas working with the teams on improvement strategies. - Review and monitor related balance sheet accounts ensuring follow up on material WIP items. - Oversight of aged accounts receivable, proactively escalating and resolving issues with collections. - Oversight of accounts payable and purchase order process, ensuring accurate payment terms and vendor documentation, proactively identifying vendors with unfavorable payment terms and working with CFO to identify and negotiate wherever possible. - Maintain and measure monthly cash flow submissions against forecasts identifying areas of risk and improvement. - Partner with HR to support bi-monthly payroll submissions, submitting/reviewing all payroll inputs into UKG for accuracy and completeness prior to submission. - Utilize UKG BI reporting to enhance monthly process by developing reports that cross reference payroll data ensuring accuracy and visibility, particularly with tax related deductions and pro-rated calculations. - Support and oversight of internal/external audit for both US, UK and Veritas. - Support CFO in review of rate structures, client offerings and pricing to determine and negotiate new and existing client contracts. - Ensure MSA terms are reviewed and accurately reflected in Maconomy. - Lead implementations of tools and technologies such as Stagwell led initiatives in AI automation, the roll out of Hubspot and Workfront and the Bank of America corporate card program. Now Qualifications section: after "Qualifications" heading we have list: "10-15 years progressive finance experienceAdvanced Excel SkillsExperience with complex enterprise financial systems including Maconomy/Deltek, Hyperion/One StreamDeep understanding of financial accounting, P&L, balance sheet managementStrong financial analysis and planning skillsAbility to effectively manage workloads, prioritize and manage multiple deadlinesMentor and manage staff, comfortable providing regular feedback and guidanceClient service mindset with the ability to foster positive working relationshipsExcellent verbal and written communication skills" Also later there is "Leadership and Agency Fit" which seems like additional qualifications/skills. We could treat that as part of Qualifications or Skills. The instruction says we have sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide where to put content. We have "Qualifications" heading in posting. Then after that there is "Leadership and Agency Fit" which seems like additional qualifications. We could combine into Qualifications. We also have "Skills" maybe from the bullet list: Advanced Excel Skills etc. Could be separate Skills section. But we should not create thin sections. Perhaps combine qualifications and skills into one "Qualifications" section, as they are all requirements. We also have "Compensation" section with Pay range. That is Pay. We have benefits described: "At HUNTER, we work hard and play hard, and while we have all the benefits you’d expect —competitive health and dental insurance plans, a 401K company match and generous PTO — we also provide: a hybrid work model;a “work from anywhere in the US” policy (up to four weeks a year);a year-round staff training and development curriculum; anda staff-led Action Group dedicated to DEI excellence in the agency and industry (read our DEI statement here: https://hunterpr.com/dei/) Perks? We have perks. When you work at HUNTER, you can expect Bring Your Parents (And Kids) to Work Days, regular volunteer Days of Service, mid-day Cupcakes and Cocktails mixers and epic Halloween and holiday parties." Thus Benefits section. Also there is mention of offices locations: New York, LA, Canada and London. That could be under Schedule? Not exactly schedule. Could be under "About the role" maybe. We have no explicit Schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section. Pay: we have compensation range: $150K-$200K. So we create Pay section. Now we need to strip boilerplate: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes "Founded in 1989..." etc at end. That's boilerplate? It's about company description but maybe considered "About Us" but we already have About Us earlier. The final paragraph about founded etc is likely boilerplate; we should remove it. Also the link to DEI statement maybe keep as part of benefits? It's a link; we could keep but it's not essential. The instruction: remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The final paragraph about founded etc is not boilerplate but could be considered "About Us" duplicate. Might be okay to keep but it's somewhat generic. Safer to remove it as it's not specific to role. Also the "See us in action here: https://hunterpr.com" is promotional; could remove. Thus we keep: About the role (Overview), Responsibilities, Qualifications (including Leadership and Agency Fit), Skills (maybe separate), Benefits, Pay. But we need to avoid thin sections. If we separate Skills, we might have thin content. Better to combine Qualifications and Skills into one "Qualifications" section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Now we need to format. Let's craft About the role paragraph(s): The Overview paragraph: "The Finance Director supports all aspects of the agency’s financial management process, providing support to the CFO on month end close, forecasting, audit compliance, agency initiatives and serves as a liaison with Stagwell Corporate finance teams. This role requires a commercially astute, analytical and articulate leader who can mentor the team, provide financial guidance and strategy to the business and develop strong relationships with Stagwell Corporate finance teams. The position requires advanced excel and financial modeling skills with the ability to automate processes and translate complex financial data into meaningful commentary to help support the agency’s leadership and drive profitability. The position will manage the agency Client Finance team and report to the CFO, with offices in New York, LA, Canada and London. The role requires professional maturity, discretion, ethical behavior, exceptional organizational and interpersonal skills, agency finance expertise, and familiarity with HUNTER’s business and technology platforms, including Maconomy and UKG." We can put that as

      maybe split
