ABOUT MUDDY MAT
Muddy Mat is a 9 figure revenue direct-to-consumer pet products brand, bootstrapped and profitable.
We are the #1 selling indoor mat for cleaning dog paws, loved by millions of pet owners across America. Our portfolio includes Muddy Mat, Cloud K9 (anti-anxiety dog beds), and Wizz (pet stain remover).
We operate across Direct Response TV, direct-to-consumer e-commerce, Amazon, TikTok Shop, and expanding retail partnerships with major chains including Home Depot, Costco, and Walmart. With 95-98% of sales in the US, and soon to be more international.
This is a real CFO seat at a high-growth, nimble, profitable business, not a reporting role buried under layers of corporate bureaucracy.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We are seeking a hands-on, strategic CFO to own the entire finance function, lead a team of 4 (two bookkeepers, one auditor, one controller), and prepare the business for a raise. You will report directly to the Founder/CEO and have full P&L visibility and ownership.
This role requires someone who can operate at 30,000 feet (strategy, capital markets, exit prep) and at ground level (ERP cleanup, cost optimization, hands-on problem solving). We are a lean organization that values truth, ownership, and results over corporate theater.

- Manage bank reconciliations across multiple accounts and marketplace platforms (Shopify, Amazon, PayPal, Braintree, Bluesnap)
- Ensure sales tax compliance across all 50 states via TaxJar and manual filings
Unit Economics & Profitability
- Build true channel-level P&Ls with fully loaded contribution margins (DRTV, DTC, Amazon, TikTok, Retail)
- Analyze and optimize unit economics by SKU, channel, and campaign
- Identify and execute cost reduction initiatives across fulfillment, shipping, COGS, and operations
- Partner with marketing on CAC/LTV analysis, ROAS tracking, and budget allocation
- Support pricing strategy and margin analysis for new product launches and retail partnerships
Cash Management & Treasury
- Own daily, weekly, and monthly cash flow forecasting and reporting
- Manage working capital and optimize cash conversion cycle
- Oversee payroll processing and crediting via Wise and Chase
- Monitor and manage AMEX, credit facilities, and vendor payment terms
- Coordinate with banks on treasury operations and credit facilities
Team Leadership & Management
- Manage and develop a finance team of 4: two bookkeepers, one auditor, one controller (offshore in Philippines/Colombia)
- Establish KPIs, workflows, and accountability for the finance function
- Drive automation and process improvement across financial operations
- Serve as the financial point of contact for external auditors, tax advisors, and legal counsel
- Report directly to the Founder/CEO and provide strategic counsel on all financial matters

WHO YOU ARE
You are not a corporate finance drone who hides behind spreadsheets. You are an owner-operator who thinks like an entrepreneur, acts with urgency, and isn't afraid to get your hands dirty. You tell the CEO when they're wrong, and you back it up with data.
- You thrive in a lean, fast-moving environment without layers of approval
- You are hands-on, willing to process a payment one minute and present to investors the next
- You care about building something, not collecting a paycheck
- You communicate directly, concisely, and without corporate fluff
- You understand that equity upside is the real prize, not just base salary
