Vice President Finance

At Peach, our goal is to improve the lending experience for everyone. We are doing this by offering a leading modern loan management and servicing platform that allows lenders to innovate, adapt and scale. 

The Opportunity

We’re a fast-growing startup at a critical stage—solid product, growing customer base, and a whole lot of momentum. What we don’t have yet is a dedicated in-house Finance leader. That’s where you come in.

As our first Sr Director or VP of Finance, you’ll step into a hands-on, high-ownership role where execution matters. You’ll build trust across teams, own the numbers, and bring financial clarity to the business. Early on, you’ll work closely with our current finance consultants, but your mission is to transition us to a fully in-house operation within 3–6 months.

You’ll partner directly with the CEO, CRO, Product, and Engineering to refine our pricing, improve forecasting, and own the financial narrative for investors and enterprise customers. This is a unique opportunity to build the finance function from scratch—and grow into a CFO role as the company scales.

If you're looking to build, lead, and own—from strategy to spreadsheets—this is the role for you.

• Experience scaling finance functions from scratch and building teams
• Strong command of financial modeling, accounting systems, and planning tools
• Proven track record of partnering with cross-functional teams and C-level execs

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with customer-facing financial reporting per MSA
