VP, Finance

About the role

The VP, Finance is a senior leader who operates with hands-on ownership across the full scope of FAL’s financial function. Reporting to the CFO and COO, this role serves as the connective tissue between financial operations and executive decision-making, ensuring that leadership always has the clarity, rigor, and foresight needed to run the business.

This person will work closely with the executive steering committee and support board-level reporting, capital strategy, and cross-functional financial planning. The right candidate is both analytically excellent and operationally pragmatic — equally comfortable building a financial model and presenting findings to a board of directors.
