Position Overview: The VP, Finance is a senior leader who operates with hands-on ownership across the full scope of FAL's financial function. Reporting to the CFO and COO, this role serves as the connective tissue between financial operations and executive decision-making, ensuring that leadership always has the clarity, rigor, and foresight needed to run the business. This person will work closely with the executive steering committee and support board-level reporting, capital strategy, and cross-functional financial planning. The right candidate is both analytically excellent and operationally pragmatic — equally comfortable building a financial model and presenting findings to a board of directors.

Financial Planning & Analysis: Lead annual budgeting, quarterly forecasting, and long-range financial planning across FAL's multi-entity, multi-market structure. Own financial modeling across existing venues (Las Vegas, London), the NYC launch, and new project development. Build and maintain scenario and sensitivity analyses to support strategic decision-making. Develop and manage KPI frameworks that give leadership real-time visibility into business performance.

Reporting & Financial Infrastructure: Design and maintain management reporting systems that deliver accurate, timely financial insights to the executive team. Oversee monthly close processes in coordination with accounting, ensuring integrity of financial statements across all entities. Build and own reporting packages for the executive steering committee and board of directors. Establish and improve financial controls, workflows, and infrastructure to support operational scale.

Board & Executive Support: Prepare board materials, including financial decks, investment memos, and performance summaries. Support capital structure decisions, including debt financing, investor reporting, and fundraising diligence. Partner with the CFO and COO on strategic initiatives, deal analysis, and growth opportunity evaluation. Serve as a key financial voice in executive steering committee discussions, providing clear, decision-ready analysis.

Content, Deal & Multi-Sector Finance: Support financial structuring and analysis across FAL's diverse business lines, including live events, content, distribution, and licensing. Evaluate strategic partnerships, licensing arrangements, and new market opportunities from a financial and commercial lens. Assist in negotiation support and financial due diligence for new business development and IP expansion.

Qualifications: Required 8+ years of progressive finance experience, ideally spanning FP&A, strategic finance, and executive or board-level reporting. Demonstrated experience at a media, entertainment, content, or live events company. Exceptional financial modeling skills and fluency with complex, multi-entity P&L structures. Track record of building and maintaining financial reporting infrastructure, not just consuming it. Experience preparing or directly contributing to board materials and investor communications. Strong communicator who can translate financial complexity into clear, executive-ready narratives. High degree of ownership, intellectual rigor, and comfort operating in a fast-moving, resource-constrained environment.

Preferred: Experience in live events, touring, or experiential entertainment is a strong plus. Familiarity across multiple content and revenue verticals, including Film, TV, Music, Merchandise, Production, or Licensing. Background in both corporate finance and content/deal strategy. Prior experience at a growth-stage company scaling from single to multi-market operations. Familiarity with cap table management, fundraising processes, or working with private equity-backed or investor-governed organizations.
