Reconciliations, forecasts, and the occasional fire drill fill the week of a VP of Finance at Cisco. The structure is built for growth: $268,000 - $414,000 now, finance ownership soon, and a Cisco ladder that keeps adding rungs.
Key Responsibilities
- Surface the three expense lines quietly eating the finance margin
- Validate revenue recognition in line with current accounting standards
- Implement and document internal controls to safeguard company assets
- Close the books each month without letting deadlines slip at Cisco
- Translate GAAP nuance into guidance the Boulder team can apply
- Run the freelance close for a vp ledger you fully own
What You'll Bring
- The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly
- Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written
- Demonstrated capacity to mentor or support vp teammates
- Adaptability and resilience when facing shifting requirements
- Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you
- Ability to learn new finance systems quickly and apply them effectively
