About the Role

We're seeking a visionary Chief Financial Officer (CFO} to join our executive leadership team during a time of meaningful growth and transformation. This is not your typical CFO role. We're looking for someone with strategic courage, analytical sharpness, and a deep understanding of the financial mechanics behind merchant processing, interchange economics, and scaling Saas businesses.

You'll be a critical partner to the CEO and leadership team, helping shape our long-term financial vision while rolling up your sleeves to ensure operational excellence day-to-day. You'll lead a passionate Finance team and play a pivotal role in guiding key business decisions, capital planning, and performance forecasting.

While deep technical knowledge of payment technology is not required, a clear fluency in the economics of merchant processing, fraud mitigation, and PayFac models is essential.

What You'll Do

• Strategic Leadership : Drive company-wide financial strategy, enabling growth while protecting our mission and values. Partner closely with the CEO and executive team on strategic planning, scenario modeling, and board-level engagement.
• Merchant Processing Expertise : Own our understanding of interchange fees, risk exposure, fraud mitigation, and cost optimization as they relate to payment processing-a key lever in our business.
• Team Management : Lead and grow a high-performing Finance team. Foster a culture of accountability, integrity, and continuous improvement.
• Financial Operations : Oversee financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and reporting to ensure clarity, alignment, and rigor across the organization.
• Investor Relations : Collaborate with investors, support capital raises, and represent Wellnessliving in fundraising conversations and board meetings.
• M&A and Growth Support : Lead financial due diligence for acquisitions and support business expansion with thoughtful financial frameworks.
• Compliance and Controls : Ensure financial controls are strong, systems are efficient, and risks are well-managed in a scaling Saas environment.
