Think Amazon’s obsession with customer experience meets SpaceX’s fearless ambition-that’s the DNA behind everything we do.\nOur 160-person team of creatives, strategists, and innovators produces thousands of high-impact campaigns weekly for the world’s leading lifestyle, fashion, beauty, and DTC brands. With 50,000 sq. ft. of DTLA studios and a global influencer network, we’re scaling rapidly-and we’re looking for a Finance Manager who can bring structure, visibility, and strong financial discipline to our next stage of growth.\nWe move quickly, challenge assumptions, and continuously look for smarter ways to operate. We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just report the numbers, but understands what they mean, spots problems early, and takes ownership of finding solutions.\nWhy This Role Matters\nAs High Scale grows, we need stronger financial systems, better forecasting, and greater visibility into how every part of the business is performing.\nAs our Finance Manager, you’ll take ownership of core financial operations while working closely with leadership on budgeting, forecasting, cash flow, profitability, and financial planning.\nThis is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys getting into the numbers while also seeing the bigger picture. You’ll help us understand where we’re performing well, where we’re overspending, where margins can improve, and what financial decisions will help us scale sustainably.\nWe’re looking for someone who can bring both financial rigor and a builder’s mentality to the role.\nWhat You’ll Do\nOwn Financial Reporting\nManage monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reporting.\n\nPrepare P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and management reports.\n\nEnsure financial information is accurate, timely, and useful for decision-making.\n\nAnalyze actual performance against budgets and forecasts.\n\nIdentify significant variances and communicate insights to leadership.\n\nLead Budgeting & Forecasting\nManage annual budgeting and ongoing forecasting processes.\n\nDevelop revenue, expense, headcount, and cash flow forecasts.\n\nPartner with department leaders to develop and manage departmental budgets.\n\nUpdate forecasts as business conditions and priorities change.\n\nBuild financial models to support strategic decisions and growth initiatives.\n\nManage Cash Flow\nMaintain short- and long-term cash flow forecasts.\n\nMonitor accounts receivable, accounts payable, collections, and payment cycles.\n\nIdentify potential cash flow issues before they become problems.\n\nImprove working capital and cash management processes.\n\nProvide leadership with clear visibility into the company’s financial position.\n\nImprove Profitability & Cost Control\nAnalyze revenue, expenses, margins, and profitability across the business.\n\nIdentify unnecessary spending and opportunities to improve financial efficiency.\n\nPartner with department leaders to establish stronger cost controls and accountability.\n\nEvaluate vendor costs, operating expenses, and major investments.\n\nDevelop reporting that helps leadership understand where and how the company makes money.\n\nStrengthen Finance Operations\nImprove accounting and finance workflows, controls, and documentation.\n\nEstablish clear SOPs for financial processes.\n\nIdentify opportunities to automate repetitive finance and reporting tasks.\n\nEnsure accurate financial records and proper documentation.\n\nCoordinate with external accountants, auditors, tax professionals, and other financial partners as needed.\n\nBuild Financial KPIs & Dashboards\nDevelop dashboards that provide visibility into revenue, expenses, margins, cash flow, and other key financial metrics.\n\nEstablish recurring financial reporting for leadership.\n\nTrack departmental performance against budgets and financial targets.\n\nTurn financial data into clear, actionable business insights.\n\nPartner With Leadership\nWork directly with leadership on financial planning and business decisions.\n\nProvide financial analysis for new initiatives, hiring decisions, investments, and operational changes.\n\nIdentify financial risks and opportunities proactively.\n\nPresent recommendations clearly to both financial and non-financial stakeholders.\n\nWho You Are\nExperienced Finance Professional\n5+ years of progressive experience in Finance, Accounting, FP&A, or a related field.\n\n2+ years of experience in a finance management or senior finance position preferred.\n\nExperience in an agency, professional services, BPO, shared services, or high-growth company is a strong advantage.\n\nBachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.\n\nCPA, CMA, MBA, or equivalent qualification is a plus, but not required.\n\nStrong With Numbers - and the Business Behind Them\nYou’re comfortable going deep into financial statements, spreadsheets, forecasts, and models, but you don’t stop at reporting what happened.\nYou want to understand why it happened and what the business should do next.\nHighly Analytical\nStrong financial modeling and analytical skills.\n\nAdvanced proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets.\n\nStrong understanding of P&L, balance sheets, cash flow, budgeting, and forecasting.\n\nExperience with accounting or ERP systems such as QuickBooks, NetSuite, Xero, or similar platforms.\n\nExperience building financial dashboards or using BI tools is a plus.\n\nProcess-Oriented\nYou naturally notice when a financial process is inefficient, unclear, or unnecessarily manual.\nRather than accepting “this is how we’ve always done it,” you look for a better solution and take ownership of implementing it.\nComfortable With Accountability\nYou’re confident challenging numbers, asking questions, and holding teams accountable to budgets and financial commitments.\nYou communicate clearly and can explain complex financial information in a way that makes sense to non-finance teams.\nEnergized by Growth\nYou’re comfortable working in an environment where priorities evolve and new challenges appear quickly.\nYou bring solutions rather than simply identifying problems, take initiative without needing constant direction, and enjoy building systems that make the entire organization stronger.\nPerks & Benefits\nHigh-Impact Role: Your analysis and recommendations will directly influence company-wide decisions.\nExecutive Exposure: Work closely with leadership on budgeting, forecasting, profitability, and growth planning.\nBuild & Improve: Help shape the financial processes, dashboards, controls, and systems High Scale uses as we grow.\nCareer Growth: This role has significant room to expand in responsibility as the company scales, including the opportunity to develop toward senior finance leadership.\nFast-Moving Environment: Join an ambitious team that values ownership, problem-solving, continuous improvement, and people who are excited to tackle challenging problems.\nHigh Scale is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and believe that different perspectives and experiences create stronger teams and better business decisions. If you’re excited about building strong financial systems, improving business performance, and helping a fast-growing company scale intelligently, we’d love to hear from you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7269,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":2,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Digital Marketing","Marketing & Sales AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-09T15:11:35Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":13,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.377,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":40,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T00:09:59Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/highscale-finance-manager-3","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/highscale-finance-manager-3.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T00:09:59Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":321,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4476477},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4476477"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhighscale-finance-manager-3"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhighscale-finance-manager-3"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhighscale-finance-manager-3"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/highscale-finance-manager-3\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhighscale-finance-manager-3"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3968276}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"highscale.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3968276},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
