Vice President Finance

Our client is a Christian based company guided by Christian value. Their culture is rooted in integrity, service, compassion, and biblical principles. They are seeking a candidate who is excited to support their mission and values.

Our client is a Christian education platform focused on owning and operating companies in curriculum, education technology and services, and trade and book publishing. The Vice President, Finance is a strategic finance leader who can bridge analysis, insight, and execution. This individual will serve as a senior member of the leadership team, reporting to the Chief of Staff, and will oversee the company's financial management as a member of the company's leadership team.

This is not a traditional accounting role — it’s for a strategic finance leader who can translate financial insight into business performance and organizational flow. The ideal candidate combines analytical rigor, strong modeling capabilities, and executive leadership presence with the ability to see, interpret, and communicate financial data and insights across the business.

This role will directly lead our finance and accounting function (including the Controller), and will partner closely with operations, IT, and executive leadership to modernize our financial infrastructure, systems, and reporting capabilities. The VP sets the financial agenda and governs the process — the finance function drives execution.

This role is pivotal to the company’s next chapter. The VP of Finance will ensure the company’s financial strategy, processes, and insights scale alongside its growth, enabling the President and leadership team to make faster, better, data‑driven decisions.

Most education is designed around what children should know, not who they were created to be. The platform was formed to help solve that problem — empowering educators, whether teachers or parents, to develop the next generation in line with how they were created. It’s a mission that serves a diverse coalition of Christian families and traditions, and the right person for this role is secure enough in themselves to lead with curiosity and respect across those differences.

Our client is the first portfolio company in that vision, and the foundation on which they are building. It builds effective, faith‑infused curriculum grounded in Biblical authority and a young‑earth, creationist worldview. The families it serves have chosen to educate their children at home, and they trust our client to support them in doing so.
