Why this seat compounds: instead of one company's books, you'll model a portfolio of brands: different channels, different problems, every week. You'll learn directly from a former PE investor and senior CFOs, get trained on the AI tools we use daily, and grow toward Finance Manager, VP Finance and a partnership track.
About Eightx
We provide fractional CFO services for fast-growing ecommerce brands and agencies across Canada, the US and the UK, with one goal: to help ecommerce business owners scale with more cash and less stress. The work spans financial modeling, risk management, US/Canadian GAAP, financing, audit and investor relations.
We're small but growing fast, so you'll get the chance to specialize and grow into future roles. And as you'd expect of a finance company, we work hard when we need to, but not for the sake of it: we don't miss our kids' concerts, we work out during the day, and we usually sign off early on Fridays.
About the role
You're an enthusiastic, detail-oriented person joining us as a Financial Analyst. While 1–2 years of experience helps, it's not mandatory. We value a strong work ethic and a willingness to learn. The work you do helps founders truly unplug on vacation, get time back with their kids, and enjoy running their businesses again.
You'll assist a global portfolio of clients with financial modeling, budgeting, cash flow forecasting, scenario planning and variance analysis, plus market research and trend analysis to help them improve operations and results. You'll work across Shopify, QuickBooks Online, Xero, Google Sheets/Docs, Glew.io, Amazon Seller/Vendor, Rippling, Gusto and more.
Time zone: 10am–5pm Pacific (PST), with some flexibility for client needs.

How we hire
As part of early screening, we'll ask for a short 2–3 minute video (phone or webcam is fine) covering why you're interested, what you know about Eightx, your ideal work environment, your strengths, and where you see yourself in five years. You'll always hear back.
