Strategic Finance Manager

Network Right is on a mission to create a human-centric, innovative, next-generation world of IT. We are disrupting the IT service industry by offering custom solutions to each individual client. At Network Right, we’re bridging the gap between IT and People by offering unique support based on the needs of growing businesses, and making employee lives easier through technology.

You'll be our first dedicated internal finance hire, owning Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) and strategic finance at Network Right. An external partner handles our day-to-day bookkeeping. You'll own and manage that relationship, so your time goes to analysis, planning and guiding decisions, not logging transactions.

You'll work side by side with our co-founders as their go-to finance advisor, turning our data into clear, accurate insight they can act on. Your focus will be forecasting where each department is heading, shaping how we price our services, and optimize our Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) so we can double our business sustainably. This is a builder role: you'll shape our finance function, tools, and processes from the ground up.
