Head of Finance Application

Overview

Confido Legal is a fast-growing Series A fintech company building the financial infrastructure that powers the legal industry. We help legal technology companies and law firms embed payments and financial services directly into their products and workflows—unlocking growth for our partners and expanding access to the justice system.

By adding financial flexibility at the moment lawyers and clients transact, we increase revenue for law firms, improve payment outcomes, and generate more legal aid funding for programs nationwide.

We’re looking for a Head of Finance to become the senior owner of our financial engine—someone who can operate in the details, zoom out to strategy, and help guide Confido through its next phase of growth.

This role reports directly to our CEO and will work closely with the leadership team, board, investors, and partners.

Role Responsibilities

• Own Confido’s financial engine end-to-end — including forecasting, modeling, reporting, cash flow management, and financial readiness for board, investors, and partners.
• Build accurate, automated financial and partner reporting that improves partner performance, grows revenue, accelerates onboarding, and enables better decision-making across the company.
• Manage revenue recognition, float, and disbursement operations across payment processors and banking partners to ensure reliability, liquidity, and customer trust.
• Translate financial data into strategic insight by identifying risks, opportunities, and cost efficiencies, and clearly communicating implications to leadership, the board, and the broader team.
• Design and continuously improve financial systems and workflows by leveraging automation, lightweight tooling, and “vibe coding” to scale processes as the business grows.

Success (6 Months In)

• Our financial model is accurate, trusted, and actually used to guide decisions
• Actuals and projections live in one place and reconcile cleanly
• Partner reports are automated, accurate, and flexible, improving retention and payment volume
• Revenue is consistently and predictably realized
• You confidently handle questions from banks, lenders, and investors
• The CEO and operations leadership review reports instead of building them
• You’re proactively identifying opportunities, risks, and cost efficiencies—and communicating them clearly to the team and board
• Primary KPI: Accurate, timely financial reporting and forecasting that leadership, partners, and investors trust.

Must-Haves

• Exceptional ability to move between detail and strategy
• Fast, intuitive command of numbers (mental math included)
• Comfort with automation and “vibe coding” to streamline financial workflows
• Strong alignment with our core principle: everyone is an owner
• Clear communicator who can make financials resonate with non-finance teammates
• Comfort automating workflows and building lightweight internal tools

Experience & Background

• Experience in FP&A under a strong finance leader
• Operated in an environment where understanding the entire business mattered
• Some technical background (engineering, analytics, or hands-on automation)
• Experience in SaaS and/or payments strongly preferred
• Startup experience or demonstrated ability to build systems while scaling

This role is ideal for a high-potential finance leader ready to grow into a VP of Finance.

Our Team

• $150,000 – $185,000 starting base salary (stock options also awarded; not included in this figure)
