Every pet should get the care they need, regardless of cost. Vet med prices are up 40% since 2020, and pet owners are stuck having to pick between their bank account and furry friend. At Snout, we aim to solve this by enabling clinics to offer pet wellness plans, that actually work.

🚀 The opportunity

Snout is one of the fastest growing companies in the veterinary space, trusted by clinics across the US. We’re a small but mighty startup team of fewer than 30 passionate people. We’re looking for a roll-up-your-sleeves Chief Financial Officer based remotely in the USA or preferably in New York City or the Metro Detroit area in a hybrid role, to own the entire financial engine of the company – from financial modeling to budgeting, fundraising to metric tracking.

💻 The role

Snout is looking for a Chief Financial Officer to join our leadership team and help shape the future of a fast-growing, venture-backed fintech company in the veterinary space. You’ll report directly to the CEO and own the financial strategy, operations, and roadmap that power our business.

This is an ideal role for someone with a strong foundation in finance – whether from investment banking, financial services, consulting, corporate strategy, or valuation – who’s ready to move beyond spreadsheets and into strategic decision-making. At Snout, finance isn’t just about reporting and forecasting. It’s about helping design the future of our product, inform pricing and risk models, and influence how we scale.

If you're part spreadsheet nerd, part strategic operator, and excited by the idea of building something new with a team that moves fast and thinks big – we’d love to talk.

Snout is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We know that great candidates may not check every box — and that’s okay. If you're excited about this role and our mission, we encourage you to apply if you meet at least 75% of qualifications including the first bullet. If you need any accommodations during the application or interview process, please let us know — we’re happy to support you.

🛠 What you’ll do

Lead the company’s financial planning and strategy, including budgeting, forecasting, and long-term financial modeling
Manage all finance and accounting operations, including AR, payroll, historical financials, financial modeling, metrics reporting, etc
Analyze the company’s financial data, monitor cash flow, and identify financial performance trends with actionable insights
Develop and maintain relationships with investors, financing partners, and the Board of Directors

💡What we're looking for

3+ years of experience working in investment banking, financial services, consulting, corporate strategy, or valuation
Operating or investment experience at or with a Seed, Series A, or Series B software business, subscription and negative cashflow startup models (think debt financing or "buy now, pay later" modeling)
Experience and exposure to technology and SaaS businesses, and their relevant metrics
In-depth understanding of financial modeling, financial statements, and excel
Strong attention to detail and ability to provide accurate, yet timely, work
Strong leadership and organizational skills, with an ability to think strategically
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to manage various stakeholders
Someone who is happy working in a hybrid office position, is able to travel quarterly to our Troy, Michigan office and is located nearby an airport

🌟 What will make you stand out

Having a self-starter or entrepreneurial background
Ownership and accountability, you don’t need a big team to make big things happen
Passion for pets, startups, or both

💖 Why you should join Snout

Fast growing, venture capital backed technology company focused on improving access to veterinary care
Ability to have a meaningful impact from Day 1, where your voice and opinion matters
Unlimited potential to grow in your career, learn and expand your skillsets
Collaborative, flexible, and friendly culture

You are not based or legally authorized to work in the USA
You do not have 3+ years of relevant experience under your belt
You are inflexible, love rules and cannot deal with constant ambiguity or pivots
You don’t have superior attention to detail
You need a finance team to rely on and don’t want to be hands-on with accounting and finance
You aren’t comfortable with financial modeling or creating complicated excel files from scratch
You don't live near an airport, are unable to travel quarterly and do not enjoy hybrid office work
